Niveau 36 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Henrik Juncker opened to 1,000,000 first-to-act and Rony Halimi shoved for his last 2,500,000 from the small blind. It was folded back to Juncker, who quickly called to put Halimi at risk.

Rony Halimi: A♥K♦
Henrik Juncker: Q♥Q♠

It was a fair fight, but the Q♦2♦6♣ flop gave Juncker an overwhelming lead with a set.

The 3♥ turn sealed the deal and an irrelevant 5♥ completed the board — ending Halimi’s run in sixth place.

"All in," Rony Halimi said as he stood up and slammed his last 1,100,000 in the middle from under the gun. Parker Talbot then reshoved in the small blind. "Ace-ten I call," Omar Del Pino said, but he ended up getting out of the way.

Rony Halimi: K♣J♦
Parker Talbot: 7♥7♠

Halimi needed to win another coin flip situation to stay alive but missed the 10♣8♥2♠3♠ board and was down to his last card. The dealer turned over the K♥ on the river and Halimi smashed the table with his fist in celebration while his boisterous rail erupted.

"One more double up and you'll break the table," Guillermo Gordo told him.

"I'll pay. I have the money for it," Halimi joked.

Niveau 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Losing the pot to Michel Leibgorin hasn't slowed down Parker Talbot, who opened each of the last four pots for 800,000 and took it down each time.

In the last pot, Leibgorin folded his big blind after Talbot opened in early position. "No more owning," Talbot asked him as he dragged in another pot to reach 20,000,000.

Niveau 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Parker Talbot opened to 800,000 from under the gun and found one caller in Michel Leibgorin in the big blind.

Leibgorin announced he would check dark and the flop came K♦Q♣6♦. Talbot checked behind.

Leibgorin bet 1,000,000 on the 4♦ turn and Talbot called.

The 5♥ completed the board and Leibgorin announced the same bet before putting an additional 1,000,000 into the middle. Talbot thought it over and tossed his hand into the muck, where upon Leibgorin tabled 9♣8♣ — sending his rail into an uproar.

Talbot fist-bumped Leibgorin as he collected the pot.

Niveau 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Omar Del Pino raised to 800,000 in the hijack before Rony Halimi moved all in for 2,700,000 in the cutoff. The table folded back to Del Pino who folded.

Del Pino again raised to 800,000 the next hand, only this time Henrik Juncker shoved for 3,100,000. Del Pino tanked for a moment before calling.

Henrik Juncker: J♥J♠
Omar Del Pino: K♠J♣

Juncker was ahead with his jacks and needed to avoid a king to stay alive. The board ran out 10♠5♠8♦8♣Q♣ and Juncker remained in the lead to earn the double up.

Yunsheng Sun: 6♦6♥
