Level 34 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Avery Bass got his stack in before the flop from the cutoff against Richard Cox, who was on the button and had him covered by a wide margin.

Avery Bass: {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Richard Cox: {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Cox had the preflop advantage and Bass needed help from the deck to double up. The board ran out {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts} to give both players trip tens but Cox took the pot with the better kicker to send Bass to the payout desk.

Martin Finger

Richard Cox raised to 460,000 from early position, Brayden Gazlay three-bet to 1.2 million on the button, and big blind Martin Finger called for his last 635,000. Cox stuck around, calling, and they continued to the {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop where Cox and Gazlay checked. Gazlay fired 600,000 to the side pot when the {3-Spades} arrived on the turn and Cox called before folding to a bet of 1.2 million on the {2-Clubs} river. Cox turned up {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} for kings full and Finger's cards were mucked.

Tobias Peters

Richard Cox shoved from early position and Tobias Peters called next to act to put himself at risk. Everyone else got out of the way and the two players tabled their hands.

Richard Cox: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Tobias Peters: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}

Peters had the edge with the better ace, but that changed when the flop came {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{3-Hearts} to give Cox trips. The {8-Diamonds} turn and {2-Hearts} river were no help to Peters and Cox took the pot.

Tristan Wade shoved from under the gun and Joshua Turner called from the button with a covering stack.

Tristan Wade: {8-Spades}{7-Spades}
Joshua Turner: {8-}{8-}

Wade was in bad shape and needed a lot of help from the deck to stay alive. The board ran out {J-}{8-}{5-}{5-}{X-} and Turner took the pot with eights full to send Wade to the payout desk.

Chris Conrad Eliminated in 18th Place ($25,446)

Level 33 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Joe Cada shoved for 1,940,000 in the middle position and his left-hand neighbor Andrew Hedley reshoved. Chris Conrad said it was more fun if it was a three-way all in and called off.

Cada: {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Hedley: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Conrad: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}

The board ran out {8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Cada rivered a straight to eliminate Conrad and add a full double through Hedley.
