Hyunsup Kim Eliminated in 9th Place ($51,000)

Livello 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

In a hand that saw Hyunsup Kim put in the rest of his few remaining chips, Maria Ho made the call top put Kim at risk in an attempt to get the table down to eight.

Hyunsup Kim: K♣10♦
Maria Ho: K♥5♦

Much to the disappointment of Kim, the flop came 5♥4♠5♠, flopping him dead to running tens for the win or running kings for a chop, but when the turn brought the 7♦, Kim was drawing dead headed to the meaningless 9♣ river as Ho extends her chip lead and sends Kim to the exit in ninth place for $51,000.

Livello 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Konstantin Maslak raised to 1,600,000 in the cutoff and Rafael Robles deliberated for a while before he called on the button with only 200,000 behind. Konstantinos Nanos jammed for about 9,600,000 in the small blind, Maslak called, and Robles put in his remaining chips.

Rafael Robles: J♣10♣
Konstantinos Nanos: A♥Q♥

Lee Secures Huge Double Through Maslak

Livello 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Action folded to Jin Hoon Lee who jammed for 5,750,000 from the cutoff. Konstantin Maslak jammed over the top from the small blind and the big blind folded to set up a runout with Lee at risk.

Jin Hoon Lee: A♦A♠
Konstantin Maslak: Q♦Q♠

The preflop cooler situation got even worse for Maslak when the flop came down A♥5♥4♦. The 4♣ turn locked up the hand for Lee before the dealer put out the inconsequential 5♠ on the river, sending the huge double in Lee's direction.

Maria Ho Becoming One-Woman Wrecking Crew

Livello 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Action folded to Maria Ho on the button who came in for a raise to 1,200,000. Jin Hoon Lee made the call from the big blind to bring out the A♦6♣10♠ flop.

Lee checked to Ho who continued with a bet of 1,400,000. Lee thought briefly before making the call to see the J♦ hit the turn.

Lee checked for a second time and watched as Ho reached into her stack and came out with a bet worth 2,400,000. After a moment of thought, Lee tossed in calling chips again and watched as the 5♦ fell on the river.

Lee checked for a third time and Ho took a moment to ponder her action before announcing all in and moving two stacks of chips into the middle. This sent Lee into the tank, where he would stay for roughly two full minutes. Eventually, he checked his cards one last time before sliding them into the muck and sending the pot to Ho as she continues to dominate almost every pot she enters.

Rayan Chamas Eliminated in 12th Place ($33,000)

Livello 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Drew Scott raised to 1,000,000 in the cutoff and Rayan Chamas three-bet on the button with not much behind. Action folded back to Scott who reraised, and Chamas tanked in anticipation of a possible pay jump before he put in his stack of roughly 4,500,000.

Rayan Chamas: A♥5♣
Drew Scott: A♠8♦

The K♦Q♥Q♠ flop made a chop likely, but the 4♣ turn and 7♥ river completed the board and Chamas was eliminated in 12th place for $33,000.

Livello 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Davidi Kitai raised to 2,800,000 in the cutoff with not much behind and [Removed:438] called all in for about 2,450,000 in the big blind.

[Removed:438]: K♦Q♠
Davidi Kitai: K♠10♣

Goldner was in good shape, but the A♣10♠6♥ flop put him behind. The 5♠ turn left him needing a queen or jack to stay alive, but the 8♠ river bricked out to eliminate Goldner in 13th place for $33,000.

David Peters Eliminated in 14th Place ($26,800)

Livello 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

David Peters limped the small blind with Jin Hoon Lee checking his option in the big blind to bring out a K♦A♥6♦ flop.

Peters check to Lee who bet enough to put the extremely short-stacked Peters all in. Peters made the call to put himself at risk with two cards to come.

David Peters: 5♥2♥
Jin Hoon Lee: A♠J♦

Peters was drawing to running cards and when the turn came the J♣, Peters was left drawing dead headed to the meaningless Q♠ river, securing the pot for Lee and sending Peters to the exit with a 14th place finish worth $26,800.

Livello 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Thai Ha limped only to see Rafael Robles raise enough to put Ha all in. Ha made the call to set up a runout with himself as the player at risk.

Thai Ha: A♦8♥
Rafael Robles: Q♣10♣

The flop came 7♣8♦7♦, keeping Ha in the lead, but when the turn and river came the J♣ and 4♣, Robles made a runner-runner flush to lock up the pot and send Ha to the rail in 15th place for $26,800.

Sam Greenwood Eliminated in 17th Place ($26,800)

Livello 33 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Action folded to Drew Scott in the small blind who jammed to put Sam Greenwood in the big blind all in. Greenwood checked his cards and quickly put in the call to set up a runout and put himself at risk.

Sam Greenwood: A♥5♣
Drew Scott: K♣7♥

Greenwood was ahead going to the flop but when it came down 8♦3♣7♣, that all changed as he'd now need some help to take the lead back from Scott.

The J♥ turn card and 2♠ river offered no such help and secured the pot for Scott as Greenwood is sent to the rail in 17th place for $26,800.
