Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
We missed the preflop action, but Victor Ramdin moved all in on a flop of 
holding 
and was snap-called by Bryan Leskowitz, who was the short stack with about 450,000. Ramdin was ahead but Leskowitz had a ton of outs, one of which was the 
that hit the turn.
Leskowitz took the lead and didn't mind the 
on the river. He doubled to about 1.15 million.

Victor Ramdin opened to 66,000, and Taylor von Kriegenbergh called on the button with 
. Jeremy Ausmus then squeezed in a reraise to what looked like 230,000, and the cameras showed that he had 
. Ramdin gave it just a cursory look before releasing, and von Kriegenbergh made a good disciplined fold as well, sending the pot to Ausmus.
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
Bryan Leskowitz was one of the short stacks and was all in preflop with 
and covered by the big stack of Ramdin, who held 
. The crowd was clearly disappointed when the flop fell 
, with one man yelling, "Well, that was anticlimactic." Indeed, it was a chopped pot.
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
Joe Hachem raised to 66,000 on the button and received a call from the 
of Taylor von Kriegenbergh in the big blind. It was heads up to the flop, which von Kriegenbergh checked. Hachem bet about 80,000, von Kriegenbergh called, and the dealer burned and turned the .
Surprisingly, von Kriegenbergh check-called a 223,000 bet from Hachem. When the 
hit the turn, von Kriegenbergh checked, Hachem fired 444,000, and von Kriegenbergh reluctantly folded. Hachem showed 
to take down the 720,000 pot.
"Ahhhh, I should have pushed," von Kriegenbergh said with a frustrated smile.
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
Joe Hachem opened the pot with "the usual" raise to 65,000, and Govert Metaal three-bet shoved a couple seats over. It was just a bit less than 500,000 total, and Hachem made the call to put his man to the test. When the cards were turned up, Metaal was flipping for his tournament life:
Hachem:
Metaal: 
The 
flop was about as bad as it gets for Metaal as he was now reduced to just one out for his survival. He needed the dealer to find the 
in the deck, but the turn and river bricked off with the and 
respectively.
With that, Metaal becomes the sixth-place finisher, good for $75,000 to pad the bankroll. That pot also moves Hachem up into second place with about 3.1 million, and our final five are now guaranteed a six-figure payout.

With about 300,000 in the pot and a board of 
, Victor Ramdin, who held bet a modest 120,000. Bryan Leskowitz was sitting with 
and must have thought the bet was too suspicious as he folded. Leskowitz is down ato around 600,000.
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
Joe Hachem raised to 66,000 from the hijack only to have Jose De Noronha move all in from the cutoff for 377,000 more. Action folded back to Hachem and he thought long and hard before making the call.
De Noronha: 
Hachem: 
"That's what I was hoping for," Hachem said about the coinflip situation. De Noronha was the one at risk as the flop came out 
. Hachem had vaulted to the lead and left his opponent in bad shape. The turn left De Noronha looking for a seven on the river, which ended up coming the . De Noronha was eliminated from The Big Event Main Event in seventh place.
