$1,100 Buy-In No Limit Hold’em $100K Guaranteed (Re-Entry)
Start of Level 20: 4K/8K/ 1K

We’re still at 10 handed for well over an hour at our final table as chips have gotten moved around among players, but nobody is willing to give up their shot at that $61,250 top prize.

The only significant hand was when Shane Delaney went all in with AsJd against the 8d8c of Farid Jattin and made a boat when the board came AdJs10cJcQh, doubling up Delaney.

Levels have just increased to 4K/8K/ 1K ante.

Brandon Setzer
Brandon Setzer

We’re still at 12 players as play has slowed down and nobody is willing to give up on this one.

On a flop showing 4h3d3c we find Brandon Setzer all-in for 113K. Faraz Jaka thinks it over before making the call.

Jaka: Ad4d
Setzer: 10d10c

The rest of the board runs out KdKc and Setzer’s pocket 10s hold up to double him up to just about 300K in chips.

Elliott Zaydman
Zaydman

12 handed play has been going on for quite a while, with chips being shuffled back and forth between players.

On a flop of 3s5s7c, Elliot Zaydman puts out a pot-sized bet. Farid Jattin asks Zaydman how much he has behind. When it’s determined he has 107K left, Jattin announces all-in on the 7 high flop. Zaydman calls.

Zaydman: QcQh
Jattin: 9d9s

The rest of the board comes AdKc and Zaydman doubles up to just over 200K with his pocket Queens holding up.
