Level 26: 20,000/40,000 with a 5,000 ante
Players Remaining: 24 of 1,841

18-year-old Zachary Milman was just eliminated in 25th place and took home $1,171 for his deep run.

Milman’s tournament resume isn’t extensive given his youth, but he has played three tournaments thus far this series and has earned three cashes.

His deepest run came just a few days ago in the $300 HORSE event. Milman finished seventh in that event for $1,010.

“I’m hoping for bigger things,” said Milman on his way to get paid out.

Zachary Milman – Eliminated

Ricardo Eyzaguirre, the chip leader at the outset of Day 2, got all in preflop for 240,000 from the small blind and got action from the big blind.

The flop was AdTc9h and Eyzaguirre took a commanding lead with a set of tens. The turn was the Jh, which gave his opponent a straight draw, but the river was the 5d and Eyzaguirre earned the double up with a set of tens.

The player on the button moved all in and Jonathan Oujian called out of the big blind. It was a flip for the button’s tournament life with his 3d3c up against Oujian’s Ax8x.

The board ran out 8s7d5dJdQh and Oujian won the flip to send the button to the rail. There is a slight pause in the action as the final 27 players redraw for seats at the final three tables.

Seay: 4s4d
Dang: 9s9h

The Jd7s6d flop was a miss for Seay, but the 4c on the turn gave her a big lead with a set of fours. The river was the blank 3d, and Seay doubled up.

Players are back from their second break of the day and the dropped down to 63 over the last two levels.

As mentioned before, Jay Moron has a commanding chip lead and added even more since then. His 1.3 million is nearly double the second/third place 670,000 stacks of Brian Woods and Daren Stabinski, setting himself up nicely for a deep run.

Jay Moron – 1,300,000 (108 bb)

Jaeli “Jay” Moron’s table was just broken, and it took him several minutes to rack up his 970,000 chips and make the move to his new seat. Once he arrived, he wasted no time resuming his chip-accummulating ways.

In one of the first hands there, a player in middle position moved all in for about 45,000, and Moron called from the big blind to put him at risk.

Moron: 3s3c
Opponent: KcQd

The board ran out 9d5d2c7sTh, and Moron won the pot with his pair of threes. That knockout moved him just across the million-chip mark, the first player in this field to reach that milestone.

Jay Moron – 1,025,000 (103 bb)

Level 20 was mostly unkind to Zo Karim. He was up around 600,000 to begin the level, but that count was more than cut in half over the span of a couple orbits. Karim regained his losses right at the tail end of the level, though.

The player in the cutoff opened with a raise, and Karim got himself all in for 298,000 in the small blind. His opponent had him slightly covered, so Karim was at risk as the cards were turned up.

Karim: AsAh
Opponent: AcQs

The board ran out 9d5h4sAdJh, and Karim doubled up with a set of aces.

Zo Karim – 615,000 (62 bb)
