On the turn with the board reading Jd8h6c9d, Brent Roberts got his last 230,000 into the middle  out of the big blind against Sergii Baranov on the button.

Brent Roberts – 560,000

Average Stack: 390,000 (39 big blinds)

On a flop of Ac7c5s, Sam Soverel got all in for about 250,000 from the big blind against Sergii Baranov on the button.

Baranov tabled AhTh, good for top pair and was in the lead against Soverel’s Qc5c, giving him bottom pair and a flush draw. The turn was the 7s, diminishing Soverel’s outs by a few and the river was the Td to give the pot to Baranov and eliminate Soverel.

Baranov dragged the pot and moves near the million chip mark. Soverel hit the rail in 37th place for $16,525.

Sergii Baranov – 900,000

There was just over 100,000 in the pot on the turn of an AsTc3c3d board. SHRP Team member Faraz Jaka checked from the big blind, and Justin Zaki bet 30,000 from the cutoff. Jaka check-raised to 76,000, sending Zaki deep into the tank. He considered for long enough that someone called the clock on him, and he eventually moved all in for 189,000 total. Jaka quickly called all in for about 170,000, putting himself at risk.

Jaffee and Vincent could start a side pot with any further betting and the flop was 5s2c2d. Both players checked and the turn was the Th.

Vincent checked again and Jaffee bet 40,000. Vincent quickly folded and Jaffee was heads-up with Turyansky. Jaffee tabled KhTc and was in the lead against Turyansky’s QsJs.

Players Remaining: 45 of 342
Average Stack: 304,000 (51 big blinds)

With 45 players left and 43 spots paying, two players were eliminated at different tables. Tom Thomas was the first to fall in 45th place, and there was a big pot brewing simultaneously at Table 8.

Asher Conniff (who was down to 20,000 chips during the last level) opened to 13,000 under the gun, and Jonathan Little called on the button. The flop came QsQd7d, and Conniff check-called a bet of 15,000 from Little. He check-called another 25,000 after the 5c turn, and the river was the 5s. When Coniff checked for a third time, Little made a covering bet for about 70,000 effective.

“F***ing Jon,” Conniff lamented, spending a minute or two thinking through the spot. “I guess I’m going out on the bubble, huh Johnny?”

After another few seconds, Conniff called to put himself at risk. Little showed QcTc to win the pot with queens full, and Conniff was eliminated in 44th place.

The 43 remaining players are now in the money, each of them guaranteed to earn at least $16,525.
