Yong Han raised it up to more than two million out of the small blind and Cameron Mixson went into the tank in the big blind, as the clock still showed 72 players remaining, after a table had just been broken. The pay jump was worth $20,000 and Mixson eventually called all-in.

Cameron Mixson: Ax9x All in
Yong Han: A♦Q♣

The 10♠5♠5♣K♦Q♦ board kept Han ahead all the way and Mixson bowed out in 72nd place.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Bruno Porto made it 800,000 preflop, and left himself 125,000 chips behind. Kyosuke Nagami called and the rest of the table folded. Nagami exposed his cards as he thought that Porto had shoved, but the floor were called and action was allowed to continue with Porto knowing the cards of his opponent.

On the Q♣6♠7♥ flop, Porto put his last 125,000 into the pot, and Nagami called.

Bruno Porto: 8♥8♣ All in
Kyosuke Nagami: A♠K♣

Porto was 60% of the way to a double-up but the A♦ turn crushed that hope and left him drawing to just two outs, neither of which appeared on the 9♠ river.

Livello 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Sami Bechahed shoved for his last 525,000 from the cutoff and action folded around to Stephen Song in the big blind, who called to put Bechahed at risk.

Sami Bechahed: Q♣10♣ All in
Stephen Song: 10♦6♣

Bechahed had Song dominated, but the K♥5♣6♦ flop paired Song's six to put him way out in front.

The 7♦9♠ runout failed to improve Bechahed and Song took the rest of Bechahed's chips.

Rast Doubles After Porto's Light Call

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Brian Rast opened the button to 300,000 and Bruno Porto called from the big blind.

They both saw a flop of K♣6♦Q♥ which Porto checked, Rast bet 275,000, and Porto check-raised to 725,000. Rast had another bet up his sleeve as he min-raised to 1,175,000, which Porto eventually called.

A 3♦ fell on the turn and after Porto checked, Rast gathered the remainder of his chips into a single stack and put it into the pot. The bet was 1,650,000 and Porto appeared to have just over that in his stack. It took around six minutes before Porto finally made up his mind and decided to call.

Brian Rast: K♦9♣ All in
Bruno Porto: 7♠6♠

Porto needed some help on the river but the 5♠ wasn't what he was looking for, which meant Rast doubled up. Brazil's Porto thought he was eliminated but once the stacks were counted down, he learned that he had around 450,000 chips remaining.

Livello 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Robert Geith got his shorter stack of 1,350,000 into the middle with the K♣Q♠ and Daniel Zadok looked him up with 10♣10♦ to create a coin flip.

The 8♠5♦4♠7♦9♥ board delivered no help to the overcards and Geith became the latest casualty.

Livello 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Heads-up on a board of J♥10♠J♠7♠ with several hundred thousand already in the middle, Sami Bechahed checked from the big blind to Luis Vazquez, who bet 250,000. Bechahed check-raised to 625,000 and Vazquez called.

The Q♦ completed the board and Bechahed fired 2,600,000 into the middle. Vazquez didn't take long to shove for 4,825,000 total and Bechahed called.

Vazquez turned over 9♠8♠ for a straight flush, and a flabbergasted Bechahed showed he held J♦7♦ for jacks-full of sevens.

"Let me get a picture of this," Bechahed requested before the dealer scooped up all the cards.

Livello 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Arthur Morris raised to 300,000 and was called by Eliott Kessas in the next seat, Russell Rosenblum defended the big blind. On a flop of Q♣8♠3♥, the action checked to Kessas and his bet of 350,000 won the pot.

Soon after, table short stack Gary Dishongh raised to 350,000 in the hijack. Rosenblum jammed the button and Dishongh called it off.

Gary Dishongh: 9♥9♣ All in
Russell Rosenblum: A♠K♠

The Q♠10♠3♠ flop was devastating for Dishongh, as he now needed running cards to survive with a full house. Some hope came with the 10♥ turn but the miracle never happened as the 5♥ river reduced the field further after the dinner break.

Livello 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Nazar Buhaiov moved all in for 950,000 in middle position as his supporters on the rail began howling. Stephen Song called in the hijack, while the rest of the table got out of the way.

Nazar Buhaiov: 2♣2♠ All in
Stephen Song: A♥K♥

"Deuces never lose," Buhaiov's rail shouted when the cards were revealed. The 10♠8♥4♣ flop kept him in the lead, while the turn was the J♠. The river, though, was the Q♦ and Song made a straight to win the pot and send Buhaiov to the exit.

"Sorry, guys," Song said to Buhaiov's rail.

Livello 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Charles Russell opened from early position and Adrian Garcia called on the button.

Russell continued for 500,000 on the flop of 10♠8♥5♣ and Garcia called. Russell sized up to 1,200,000 on the K♦ turn and Garcia again called.

The 8♠ river completed the board and Russell counted out a bet of 5,500,000 to put Garcia all in for around the same amount. Garcia quickly called.

Russell showed A♦10♦ for tens and eights, which was good to beat the 7♥7♠ of Garcia as he hit the rail.
