Level 32: 75,000/150,000/25,000 Ante

Before Steven Cohen was eliminated, Mike Beasley got knocked all the way down to a single big blind in a painful A-K vs. A-K situation. It was Beasley’s AdKc against Rosenow’s AcKh, and the board came Qc6c4c5c8d — Rosenow’s ace-high flush beat Beasley’s king-high flush.

Beasley was all in from the big blind on the next hand for 125,000, and Zo Karim called from the hijack with KdQd. Beasley had Ad5h, and it held up on a board of 10s8s3d6h5c.

Mike Beasley  –  475,000  (3 bb)
Zo Karim  –  1,500,000  (10 bb)

A couple of hands later, Beasley moved all in UTG+1 with Ac10d, and Sam Panzica called from the big blind with 10c4s. Beasley was a dominant favorite to double up here to give himself a bit of breathing room, but the board came 9h5d2s4d8h — Panzica paired his four on the turn to win the pot and bust Beasley in 13th place.

Sam Panzica  –  3,300,000  (22 bb)
Mike Beasley  –  Eliminated in 13th Place  ($9,278)

Event 5: Steven Cohen Out 14th

Manfred Rosenow raises under the gun to 450,000, Steven Cohen moves all in from the button for about 700,000, and Rosenow calls with 6s6d. Cohen turns over KdJd, and he needs to improve to stay alive.

The board comes Qh8c3h2sQd, and the pocket sixes hold up for Rosenow to win the pot and eliminate Cohen in 14th place.

Manfred Rosenow  –  4,900,000  (32 bb)
Steven Cohen  –  Eliminated in 14th Place  ($9,278)

Event 5: Bonus Day 3

$570 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em
Level 32: 75,000/150,000/25,000 Ante

Two days weren’t enough to settle everything in the $1,000,000 Guarantee Event 5 so they are coming back for a bonus day. They’ve gone through six starting flights followed by 14 hours of action on Day 2 but 14 players still remain with a chance for the title and the final part of the $1,237,000 prize pool.

They are entering the ballroom to unbag for the final time with Kyle Sorel leading the way and Rafael Reis not far behind. The length of play created some shallow stacks and the average is right around 23 big blinds when they restart.

The top two players are set to earn six-digit paydays with everyone remaining guaranteed at least $9,278. It should move along quickly but the big money up top might tempt players to sit back and wait.

Event 5: No More Bustouts to End the Night

$570 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em
Level 31: 60,000/120,000/20,000 Ante

George Dolofan is all in from the big blind for 430,000 with AcJd, and he needs his hand to hold to stay alive against Kyle Sorel’s Js8c on the button. The board comes AdQh8s6c10c, and Dolofan wins the pot with a pair of aces to double up in chips.

George Dolofan  –  1,030,000  (8 bb)
Kyle Sorel  –  9,850,000  (82 bb)

Zo Karim is all in from the big blind for 805,000 with Ah3c, and he needs to improve to stay alive against the 9s9c of Sam Panzica (UTG+1). The board comes AcQs5s8s7h, and Karim pairs his ace on the flop to win the pot and double up in chips.

Zo Karim  –  1,810,000  (15 bb)
Sam Panzica  –  3,425,000  (28 bb)

George Dolofan is all in again, this time from the hijack for 920,000 with Ah3s. He needs to improve to stay alive against Michael Tufaro’s KsKh in the big blind. The board comes 9c6h4d7d5c, and Dolofan rivers a seven-high straight to crack pocket kings and double up in chips.

George Dolofan  –  2,040,000  (17 bb)
Michael Tufaro  –  5,000,000  (41 bb)

Level 31 ended with 14 players remaining, and the official end-of-Day 2 chip counts will be posted in a few minutes.

Event 5: Down to 14

$570 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em
Level 31: 60,000/120,000/20,000 Ante

Four players have been eliminated in the first 15 minutes or so of Level 31.

18th:  Cory Zeidman  –  $6,432
17th:  Moe Maghraoui  –  $6,432
16th:  Steven McKoy  –  $6,432

15th:  Adil Khan  –  $9,278

Adil Khan lost a lot of his chips in a hand against Michael “Zombie” Tufaro. Tufaro was all in under the gun for exactly 1,600,000 with QhJh, and Khan had him covered from the cutoff with AcKc.

But the board came 9d4d3d10dKh, and Tufaro rivered a king-high straight to win the pot and double up in chips.

Michael “Zombie” Tufaro  –  2,560,000  (21 bb)
Adil Khan  –  2,065,000  (17 bb)

Khan was eliminated a short while after that.

Event 5: Down to the Final 18

$570 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em
Level 30: 50,000/100,000/15,000 Ante

Cory Zeidman was all in from the small blind for 580,000 with 5s5d, and he needed his hand to hold to stay alive against Stewart Newman’s 3s3d in the big blind. The board came Kd9h7s6sJd, and the pocket fives held up for Zeidman to win the pot and double up in chips.

Cory Zeidman  –  1,265,000  (12 bb)
Stewart Newman  –  940,000  (9 bb)

Michael “Turtle” Dunn moved all in from the button for about 500,000 (amazingly, this is less than he started the day with), and Mike Beasley called from the small blind with KcJh. Dunn turned over 3d2d, and he needed to improve to stay alive. The board came Ah7c5dQd6h, and Beasley won the pot with his king to eliminate Day 1 chipleader Dunn in 20th place.

Mike Beasley  –  1,425,000  (14 bb)
Michael “Turtle” Dunn  –  Eliminated in 20th Place  ($5,443)

In the final hand of Level 30, Stewart Newman got it all in preflop for about 750,000 with 2h2c against Bradley Hinson’s 9s9c. The board came 10c8d7dKcKs, and the pocket nines held up for Hinson to win the pot and eliminate Newman in 19th place.

Bradley Hinson  –  2,800,000  (28 bb)
Stewart Newman  –  Eliminated in 19th Place  ($5,443)

The field will continue playing tonight until 3:00 am ET, which is roughly 1 1/2 more levels of action.
