In the last hand of the level, Carlos Dorca raised from the cutoff to 200,000, Ronnie Bardah called from the button, Jesse Lonis called from the small blind, and Robel Andemichael called from the big blind.

The flop came 10s7c5c, and it checked to Dorca, who bet 475,000. Bardah folded, and Lonis check-raised to 1,150,000. Andemichael folded, and Dorca called.

The turn card was the 2s, Lonis bet 1,850,000, Dorca moved all in, and Lonis called all in for 4,325,000 with 5s5h for a set of fives.

Dorca turned over Kc10d for a pair of tens, and he was drawing dead.

The meaningless river card was the Ah, and Lonis won the pot with his set of fives to double up in chips.

Jesse Lonis  –  11,825,000  (158 bb)
Carlos Dorca  –  425,000  (6 bb)


With 9 players remaining, the average chip stack is about 7.0 million (93 big blinds), and they are guaranteed to earn at least $79,455 each.

Action is scheduled to continue tonight until the end of Level 29, around 1:00 am.
