O'Neill Breaches 12,000,000 with Sneaky Set

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Jack O'Neill
Jack O'Neill

Jack O'Neill had a big pile of chips pushed in front of him after seeing off Ryan Brown. O'Neill briefly recapped the hand to PokerNews.

O'Neil said he opened in the cutoff and called when Brown three-bet from the small blind.

O'Neill then called for 600,000 on the Kx6x5x flop, bringing the pot to about 3,000,000.

On the 10x turn O'Neill called another bet of 1,100,000, and he called when his opponent jammed for 2,500,000 on the 4x river.

Brown had AxQx for ace-high while O'Neill had a set with his 10x10x.

Daniel Weinman raised to 210,000 from middle position, then called when Hilton Laborda shoved for 750,000 next to act.

Hilton Laborda: 8?8?
Daniel Weinman: A?9?

Laborda was racing for his tournament life, but his two eights couldn't hold up on the A?2?5?2?7? board as Weinman made aces and deuces to send the Brazilian to the rail.

Lapido Soars After Eliminating Waysei

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Juan Maceiras Lapido
Juan Maceiras Lapido

Juan Maceiras Lapido and Koveh Waysei were heads-up in a pot with over 1,000,000 in the middle and the flop reading 8?7?5?. Lapido led out with a bet of 500,000. Waysei shipped all in for a little over 4,000,000 and Lapido rose from his seat. As he roughly counted his opponent's stack, Lapido slid out some chips to make the call.

Koveh Waysei: J?9?
Juan Maceiras Lapido: 5?5?

Lapido flopped a set of fives but Waysei had a big combo draw. The 7? paired the board on the turn to give Lapido a full house and Waysei was left drawing dead to the 6? on the river.

Stein Makes His Move With Big River Bet

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Sam Stein
Sam Stein

Heads-up on a flop of 4?3?9?, Daniel Dzian bet 200,000 from the cutoff before Sam Stein, under the gun, raised to 650,000.

Dzian instantly flicked in a chip to signify a call as the 8? fell on the turn. Stein then led out for 925,000 and Dzian again threw in just a single chip to call before assembling the rest of the bet.

The river came the K? and Stein built a tower of purple 100,000 chips, sliding it into the middle for a bet of 2,200,000. Dzian snap-called and Stein showed 9?4? for two pair.

Dzian mucked as Stein, who began the day with just 4,450,000, took in the pot to climb up to nearly 17,000,000.

Roman Hrabec: 6?6?
Koveh Waysei: A?9?

Hrabec was racing for his tournament life and remained in the lead through the turn on a 7?4?7?4? board, but the river came the A? and Waysei made a pair to send Hrabec out of the Main Event.

Paytas Doubles; Kanakopoulos Doubles Back

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Orestis Kanakopoulos
Orestis Kanakopoulos

The action was caught when all the chips hit the middle preflop between Orestis Kanakopoulos and Nathan Paytas, who was the player at risk for his last 2,600,000.

Nathan Paytas: Q?Q?
Orestis Kanakopoulos: A?5?

Paytas was in great shape preflop, but when the flop fanned out A?J?4?, it looked close to over for Paytas. The turn, however, had other plans when the Q? rolled off to flip the tables and lock up the double for Paytas. The inconsequential 3? completed the board and Paytas collected the pot, leaving Kanakopoulos short.

On the very next hand, Raj Vohra opened to 175,000 from under the gun and Kanakopoulos moved all in for 460,000. The rest of the table got out of the way and Vohra called.

Orestis Kanakopoulos: A?K?
Raj Vohra: A?7?

Kanakopoulos picked up a monster hand, and when the board ran out A?K?6?3?J?, the ace-king held to secure a much needed double up for Kanakopoulos.

Rigby Falls to a Brutal River

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Nicholas Rigby
Nicholas Rigby

Nicholas Rigby has been an unmissable presence at this Main Event, but his run just came to a sudden hand on a brutal river suckout by Diego Daquilio.

Rigby shoved all in for 1,540,000 from early position and Daquilio reshoved in middle position to force the rest of the table out of the pot.

Nicholas Rigby: J?J?
Diego Daquilio: A?K?

Rigby was racing for his tournament life and took a big lead on the 10?J?2? flop with top set. The 6? turn was safe for Rigby, but Daquilio spiked the Q? on the river to make a Broadway straight.

Rigby sat stunned in his seat for a few moments before getting up to shake Daquilio's hand on his way to the payout desk.

Harder Correctly Heros To Double Through Kothari

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Christian Harder
Christian Harder

Christian Harder was put to the test for his tournament life in a heads-up pot against Harsheel Kothari.

With the board reading 8?8?K?10?6?, Harder bet 580,000 before Kothari raised all in to send Harder into the tank as he considered calling off for his remaining stack of around 800,000.

"I should believe you, but I don't," Harder said as Kothari stared him down with his hand covering his mouth.

Harder eventually called and Kothari tapped the table in defeat as he showed 9?9? for just a pair of nines before Harder tabled A?K? to win the pot with a pair of kings.

"Nice hand, bro," Kothari told him.

Tosoc Busts Westmorland in Big Pot

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Jordan Westmorland
Jordan Westmorland

The action started with a raise to 175,000 by Ryan Tosoc and Viliyan Petleshkov made it 525,000 to go from two seats over. Jordan Westmorland then four-bet to 1,150,000 with around twice as much behind.

Tosoc pushed all-in to force out Petleshkov while Westmorland reluctantly called.

Jordan Westmorland: Q?Q?
Ryan Tosoc: A?A?

The inferior pair failed to get there on the 9?4?3?7?4? board and that spelled the end for Westmorland.
