Nível 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Noah Schwartz opened the hand with a pot-sized raise from late position that amounted to 420,000, leaving himself just over 100,000 behind.

Action folded to Satar Al-Sadoun, who was considering his options when Schwartz said, "We all gotta die sometime. Is this my time?"

After a brief period of thought, Al-Sadoun reraised. Schwartz quickly put in his remaining chips to officially put himself at risk heading to a runout.

Noah Schwartz: A♠Q♠3♥2♣
Satar Al-Sadoun: A♣K♠8♠7♥

Schwartz would need some help to survive and extend his run at a second bracelet, but when the cards fell 10♣8♥2♠A♦6♦, Schwartz finished second best and stood to exit the tournament area in eighth place for $17,069.

Nível 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Action folded to Yusuke Tanaka in the small blind who limped and Satar Al-Sadoun checked his option in the big blind to bring out the A♦A♠6♠ flop.

Tanaka led out with a bet of 100,000 and Al-Sadoun called to see the 5♦ hit the turn.

Tanaka led out again, this time for 300,000 and Al-Sadoun came along once more to see the J♠ land on the river.

This time Tanaka checked to Al-Sadoun, who was not done putting chips in the middle. He slid out a bet of 600,000.

Tanaka quickly folded and Al-Sadoun tossed his cards toward the muck to collect the pot in a blind-versus-blind confrontation.

Nível 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

After a stalemate that lasted nearly two hours, Sergio Martinez got his short stack in the middle against Yusuke Tanaka.

Sergio Martinez: 9♠8♣7♣6♠
Yusuke Tanaka: K♠Q♠10♠J♥

Martinez was plenty live with a double-suited rundown against the Broadway-hungry cards of Tanaka, who also had spades covered.

The flop peeled A♠Q♥5♠. When the 5♣ came on the turn Martinez wished his opponents luck and said his farewells as the 8♦ sealed his fate on an inconsequential river.

Nível 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

A couple hands after losing a massive pot to Thomas Skaggs, Satar Al-Sadoun raised pot to 350,000 and was called by Sergio Martinez in the small blind to see a flop of 3♦K♠6♠.

Martinez checked to Al-Sadoun, who jammed for his remaining 525,000 and got a quick call from Martinez, putting Al-Sadoun at risk and headed to a runout.

Satar Al-Sadoun: Q♣J♦10♥6♦
Sergio Martinez: A♦Q♦J♠9♠

The turn and river ran out the 5♥ and 3♥, securing Al-Sadoun a full double-up and getting him back in the game.

Big Stacks Battle: Skaggs Decimates Al-Sadoun

Nível 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Thomas Skaggs raised to 250,000 from middle position and faced a pot-sized three-bet to 900,000 from Satar Al-Sadoun in the cutoff. Skaggs thought for a moment and put in the call to see the flop come K♠10♣2♣.

Skaggs checked to Al-Sadoun who announced "pot" again, good for a bet of 2,050,000 chips. Skaggs tanked for about two minutes before he slid the call into the middle to see the turn bring the 5♥.

Skaggs checked again and Al-Sadoun wasted little time in jamming for over 3,000,000.

Skaggs entered the tank once more and again, after two or three minutes there, he decided he couldn't fold. He stuck in the call to put himself at risk and create the biggest pot of the tournament headed to the river.

Thomas Skaggs: A♣Q♦J♦9♣
Satar Al-Sadoun: K♦K♥10♦4♦

Skaggs had a lot of outs with one card to come and when the river produced one of them in the 8♣, a ripple effect could be felt across the table as all players were staring at how massive this hand had become.

When the dust settled, Al-Sadoun, who came into the day as the chip leader, was left with a short stack as Skaggs rocketed up the leaderboard to take his spot as the new dominant chipleader.

Trying 'Tanaka' Them Out; No Action

Nível 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Yusuke Tanaka opened under the gun to 225,000 and was called by Satar Al-Sadoun to his left, Noah Schwartz in the small blind, and Thomas Skaggs in the big blind.

Four ways and all sitting in tandem, the dealer spread 8♥5♣6♠ for the flop. Both blinds checked, as did Tanaka and Al-Sadoun.

The dealer revealed the A♣ on the turn and another round of checks occurred. The 7♥ on the river made the board even wetter. Both blinds checked, but this time Tanaka bet 700,000. Al-Sadoun took some time deliberating before slowly pushing his hand in the muck. Schwartz followed suit with a quick flick of the wrist, leaving it on Skaggs to deliberate. He folded, too.

Schwartz asked Skaggs if he folded 9x7x and the latter didn't give anything away as he shrugged off the question.

Vincent Moscati raised to 160,000 from late position only to see Paul Spitzberg three-bet to 600,000 from the cutoff, leaving himself only 40,000 behind.

Moscati called to see the flop come 6♠3♣3♥.

Moscati bet the minimum and Spitzberg called off the rest of his stack to put himself at risk as they headed to a runout.

Paul Spitzberg: A♥K♥10♣7♣
Vincent Moscati: A♠7♠8♣5♥

The turn and river ran out Q♠ and A♣, giving Spitzberg the best ace and securing him a double-up a few hands after losing an all in to Schwartz.
