With the A♣3♠, Robert Natividad raised from the button and James Davidson defended the big blind with the Q♥9♣.
The flop came J♣7♠3♦ to pair Natividad. The turn was the K♣ and it was checked again to the river which came the 9♥ to give Davidson the better pair. Action went check-check once again and Davidson was able to collect the pot.
Robert Natividad opened A♠Q♥ on the button to 550,000 and James Davidson called from the big blind with 9♥8♥.
They both saw a flop of 9♦K♦5♠ which both players checked to the J♣ turn. It went check-check again, as it did on the 9♣ river and Davidson took it down with his trips.
James Davidson jammed from the button with the A♣5♠ and was called by Daniel Sepiol in the big bind with the J♣10♥.
James Davidson: A♣5♠ 
Daniel Sepiol: J♣10♥
The board ran out Q♥7♦6♠7♣8♠ and Davidson had some breathing space again.
Daniel Sepiol shoved all in from the small blind and Jeremy Ausmus called from the big blind for his stack of 3,900,000.
Jeremy Ausmus: A♠9♠
Daniel Sepiol: Q♣6♣
Ausmus needed to to hold in order to remain in the tournament and wouldn't have liked seeing the 4♥K♣J♣ flop as Sepiol improved to a flush draw.
Sepiol paired his queen on the Q♥ turn which left Ausmus in a world of trouble heading to the river. An ace or a ten that wasn't a club is what Ausmus needed but it wasn't to be as the 4♠ completed the board which eliminated him in fourth.
Daniel Sepiol had the Q♥Q♦ under the gun and raised to 500,000. Jeremy Ausmus woke up with the A♦K♠ in the hijack and three-bet it to 1,150,000. Daniel Strelitz found a bad time to look down at J♦J♣ in the small blind as he then moved all in for 5,050,000.
Sepiol re-jammed for a bit more and Ausmus, who had both players covered, had a big decision and went deep into the tank. Eventually he elected to lay down big slick.
Daniel Strelitz: J♦J♣
Daniel Sepiol: Q♥Q♦
Ausmus watched in horror as an ace came in the window when the flop came down 10♣8♠A♠. The turn was the 6♦, and the river was the 9♠ to give Sepiol a more than double up. Strelitz was gone in fifth place, and Ausmus was left thinking what could have been.
Niveau: 33
Blinds: 125,000/250,000
Ante: 250,000
Daniel Strelitz limped in from the small blind with A♠Q♣ and Robert Natividad checked his option with Q♦10♥.
A flop of J♠5♦9♣ was fanned across the table and Strelitz check-called a bet of 200,000 from Natividad.
An A♦ landed on the turn which went check-check to the K♦ river. Strelitz led out for 1,000,000, and Natividad raised to 3,300,000. After a considerable amount of time in the tank, Strelitz elected to fold.
Robert Natividad opened with K♠J♣ from the hijack to 420,000 and Daniel Sepiol three-bet to 1,120,000 from the cutoff with K♥Q♠. The action got back to Natividad who laid it down.
Daniel Strelitz raised with the K♠6♠ preflop and Jeremy Ausmus defended the big blind with the 10♣6♣.
The flop came 8♥6♦7♠ and they checked to the J♥ turn which was also checked. The river was the 5♦. Ausmus fired 650,000 and Strelitz folded what would have been the winning hand.
