Niveau 39 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Action folded to Luis Yepez in the cutoff and he moved all in for around 7,000,000 chips. Chad Lipton on the button re-raised all in for 13,500,000. Michael Baltierra in the small blind seemed interested, but ultimately folded, as did the big blind.

Luis Yepez: 7♥7♦ All in
Chad Lipton: A♠K♣

It was a classic flip. Yepez let out a disappointed sigh when the K♥A♣4♠ showed up on the flop. He was down to two outs.

The turn came the Q♦ and the river 6♥ and Yepez’s tournament was over in ninth place.

Niveau 39 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

David Cabrera Polop raised to roughly 6,000,000 under the gun with just 2,000,000 behind. After the rest of the table Bogdan Munteanu called from the big blind.

Munteanu bet enough to put Polop all-in on the Q♦J♦9♣ flop and Polop called.

David Cabrera Polop: A♣10♦ All in
Bogdan Munteanu: K♦Q♥

Munteanu was ahead with top pair but Polop had a lot of outs to stay alive. The turn came the 10♣ and river was the 4♦, meaning Munteanu had eliminated Polop with a pair of queens.

Niveau 40 : Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante

Ching Da Wu opened the action with a minraise from under the gun. Michael Baltierra was next to act in the hijack and went all in for around 13,000,000 chips. The rest of the table folded back to Wu, who snap-called and had Baltierra covered.

Michael Baltierra: 6♣6♦ All in
Ching Da Wu: A♠K♣

The flop 10♦8♣7♥ kept the advantage for Baltierra, who added a gutshot to his pair of sixes.

The turn A♥, however, changed everything and Baltierra let out an expletive. He was now drawing very thin, to only four nines for a gutshot and two sixes for the set.

The river was the 8♠ and Baltierra, who without a doubt would win the award for the biggest and loudest rail of the day, was escorted with applause and the rail’s patented call: “Mike, Mike!”

Niveau 41 : Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante

When it folded to Mario Colavita in the small blind he raised to put Stanislav Zegal all-in in the big blind. Zegal only had 1,100,000 chips behind and put in the call.

Stanislav Zegal: 7♣4♦ All in
Mario Colavita :Q♠3♦

The runout out of J♥2♣7♥3♥3♣ meant Colavita had caught running threes to make trips and send Zegal to the rail in fifth place.

In a crazy three-way all in pot John Racener received the short end of the stick and was eliminated. Ching Da Wu raised to 5,000,000 and Racener moved all in from the button for 22,000,000 and Bogdan Munteanu folded in the small blind. Mario Colavita then four-bet all in with the most chips from the big blind and Wu called.

John Racener: 9♥9♣ All in
Ching Da Wu: K♥K♠ All in
Mario Colavita: A♦Q♥

The board ran out with 10♦3♥6♠J♥4♥ and Wu got the best of it with top pair kings, Racener was eliminated and Colavita's chips were decimated.

Niveau 42 : Blinds 1,200,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Mario Colavita raised to 5,000,000 on the button and Ching Da Wu called from the small blind. Bogdan Munteanu thought it over briefly from the big blind before squeezing all in for 39,400,000. Colavita then shoved himself for 53,000,000 and Wu snap-called with the covering stack.

Mario Colavita: A♠10♠ All in
Bogdan Munteanu: K♦Q♣ All in
Ching Da Wu :A♦A♥

If Wu could hold with his pocket aces he would be the winner of the event. The flop of 2♥8♣4♦ meant only running cards could help Colavita and Munteanu survive. The 6♣ turn and 4♠ river spelled the end for Munteanu in third and Colavita in second.
