Frank Cimperman: A♣3♣
Xiang Lin: K♠9♣
Cimperman paired his ace on Q♥5♣2♦A♥6♠ to secure a double up.
Mark Evangelista jammed for 17,500,000 from under the gun and he was called by Garrett Dwire in the small blind.
Mark Evangelista: A♣4♥
Garrett Dwire: K♦J♦
Evangelista was on his way to double up on 9♥8♦8♠5♠, but Dwire hit the J♥ river to send him to the rail.
Xiang Lin raised to 4,000,000 from the cutoff, only for Garrett Dwire, sat on the button, to three-bet to 12,000,000. Action was then on Amadeus Janotta, who went into the tank for a while before he four-bet all in for 17,500,000.
Lin thought about it for a while and checked to see how much Dwire had behind, but eventually released his hand to leave the other two to it.
Amadeus Janotta: A♣J♠
Garrett Dwire: A♥6♦
Janotta had Dwire dominated, and apart from some sick outdraw, was looking good for a double-up and some.
Nothing changed on the 8♥A♦2♣ flop nor the 10♠ turn. The river bricked out with the 8♠ and Janotta was shipped the pot for a double-up and more.
Lin claimed that he would have sent Janotta home and taken 90% of Dwire's stack!
Xiang Lin on the button opened to 4,500,000. Amadeus Janotta in the big blind moved all in and Lin snap-called off his last 43,000,000.
Xiang Lin: K♦K♥
Amadeus Janotta: A♠7♠
Once again, Lin cheered for his cowboys. They kept the lead all the way through a board of 10♥Q♦5♠9♥7♣, so he doubled up and took the chip lead of the final table.
Level: 41
Blinds: 1,000,000/2,000,000
Ante: 2,000,000
The five remaining players are on a 15-minute break.
Amadeus Janotta made it 3,200,000 to play from the cutoff and was looked up by Xiang Lin in the big blind.
On the 7♦4♣9♥ flop Lin check-called Janotta's 3,600,000 continuation-bet for the players to see the K♠ peel off on the turn.
Janotta loaded up a second barrel of 9,000,000 and fired it out, Lin thought for a while and made the call.
Both players checked on the K♣ river and both announced, "Two pair!".
Lin tabled 5♠4♠ but was crushed by Janotta's Q♠9♠ and Janotta was pushed the pot.
Karen Sarkisyan moved all in for 18,500,000 from the cutoff. Amadeus Janotta in the small blind raised all in, so Mark Evangelista in the big blind folded.
Karen Sarkisyan: A♦3♣
Amadeus Janotta: 9♠9♥
Sarkisyan flopped two pair on 10♠3♠10♥2♠5♦, but it wasn't enough to beat Janotta's nines and he was eliminated.
Gerald Esposito open-shoved from late position for 6,200,000, and Garrett Dwire called from the cutoff. Frank Cimperman struggled to fold from the big blind and folded his pocket nines face up.
Gerald Esposito: K♣9♣
Garrett Dwire: Q♠J♠
The board brought Dwire two pair with Q♥6♣7♦J♥8♠, and Esposito was eliminated.
