Chipleader Moises Jattin filled us in with the details for the hand where he won most of his chips last level

With the blinds at 5,000-10,000 with a 10,000 ante, Jattin raised from the hijack to 22,000, the player in the cutoff called, the button called, and the big blind called.

Four players to a flop of , and it checked to the cutoff, who bet 45,000. The button called, the big blind folded, and Jattin check-raised all in for about 425,000.

The player in the cutoff called all in for about 275,000, and the button tanked for a while before he also called all in for about 375,000.

Moises Jattin:    (open-ended straight-flush draw)
Button:    (set of fours)
Cutoff:    (queen-high flush draw)

Jattin was drawing slim, needing the straight-flush to hit, and the turn card was — the !

Jattin clinched the pot on the turn with a seven-high straight flush, and both of his opponents were drawing dead as they were eliminated from the tournament.

That pot took Jattin up to about 1.16 million (116 big blinds at the time), and he continued to climb the rest of the level until he went on break with 1.42 million — and the chip lead.

Moises Jattin  –  1,420,000  (95 bb)

Bin Weng is running hot and holding. The next time passed his table, he opened to 25,000 from early position and Li Zesheng ripped all in for 149,000 from the cutoff. Weng quickly called with a monster.

Weng:
Zesheng:

A cooler for Zesheng and it only got worse when Weng made a set of aces on the flop. The turn and river finished the board and Weng built a bigger stack.

Li Zesheng – Eliminated in 199th Place ($1,300)

We hear commotion all over the Grand Ballroom today with happy players and calls for payouts—a joyous time in the game. Some excitement happened on Table 53 and got there in time to see a very happy Hagai Stein.

He was part of a three-way all in preflop with his against and . The first eruption came when they saw a five in the window but that was followed by an ace on the flop for more noise.

But even catching set-over-set on the flop, he still had to sweat diamonds the rest of the way. The turn and river were safe for Stein to eliminate one player and double through the other.

Hagai Stein – 520,000 (52 bb)

After an open from Cody Wells, Rich Ryan moved all in for 95,000 from the button. The blinds folded, Wells thought for a minute, and called top put Ryan at risk.

Wells:

Ryan was in trouble with kicker issues but the run out kept him in the game when both made two pair, kings and fours, with their aces playing. Wells shook his head while they split up the blinds and ante.
