Jason Sternberg opened in early position for 950,000. The action folded to Alejandro Perez in the hijack who three-bet jammed all in for approximately 10,000,000 covering Sternberg. With the remaining players left to act all folding, it was up to Sternberg to make a decision for his tournament life. Flicking in one chip for a call, it transpired he was on the right side of a cooler.
Jason Sternberg: A♣A♥
Alejandro Perez: A♠K♥
The board ran out Q♥4♥7♦K♦4♦ propelling Sternberg to over twenty million chips having come back from only 700,000 chips not long before the dinner break.
Perez left with just over one big blind, bust a few hands later.

Colter Sanders opened to 875,000 from middle position only to see the player to his left move all in for 3,200,000. A player on the button called as did Sanders.
After the flop came 6♣A♦2♠ Sanders moved his last 1,000,000 into the middle and was promptly called by his active opponent.
Middle Position Player: Q♠Q♣
Colter Sanders: A♥K♠
Button Player: J♠J♥
Sanders had flopped well and looked set to secure a near triple up. Nothing changed on either the turn or river, sending a large pot to Sanders while the middle position player was sent to the rail.

Due to the stoppage time that occurred at the start of today's tournament, the players will be playing to the completion of Level 37, two levels shorter than scheduled for today's session.
Chris Haines probably thought his tournament was over after moving all in for his last 1,475,000 from under the gun and being called by the cutoff, button and both blinds. After the flop came 8♦10♦6♦ the small blind checked before the big blind moved their remaining 2,700,000 into the middle, enough to get rid of the remaining players and put Haines officially at risk.
Chris Haines: J♥10♠
Big Blind Player: Q♥8♥
It was the right color, wrong suit for the big blind and Haines managed to stay ahead with his superior pair after the 3♣ turn and 9♣ river completed the board to grant the at risk player a second life.

Ian Alcoran raised from the small blind to 600,000 and Patrick Liang called from the big sending both players to a flop of A♠K♠K♥.
The hand checked through to the turn which brought the 8♥. Alcoran took a stab for 300,000 and Liang called.
The river brought the 10♦ and Alcoran put out one more bet for 600,000. Liang took his time on the decision clarifying "I'm not trying to slow roll" before flicking in the call as he tabled K♠3♥ for flopped trips. Alcoran mucked.
