Level 39
: Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante
In the first hand of the unofficial final table, Andres Gonzalez pushed all in for 14,300,000 and collected the blinds and big blind ante to boost his second-shortest stack among the final ten contenders.
On the next hand, Malo Latinois shoved from the small blind and Diogo Coelho gave up his big blind.
Level 39
: Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante
Joe Serock raised to 3,200,000 in early position and Jason Sagle called in the hijack. The flop was spread 2?10?3? and Serock checked. Sagle bet 4,000,000 and received a quick fold from his opponent.
The next hand, Sagle opened for 3,200,000 in middle position and Niklas Astedt defended his big blind. Both players checked the K?2?7? flop before Sagle bet 4,000,000 on the 10? turn.
Astedt check-called and checked again on the A? river. Sagle checked behind and Astedt showed A?10?. Sagle mucked A?9? and Astedt took the pot.
Level 39
: Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante
Jordan Griff min-raised to 3,200,000 from under the gun and was called by both Niklas Astedt and Joe Serock in the blinds. The 9?6?5? flop saw Astedt lead for 3,500,000 and Serock called, as did Griff.
The trio headed to the Q? turn and Astedt slowed down and checked. Serock bet 11,000,000 and Griff called while Astedt got out of the way.
That led them to the 5? on the river where Serock glanced at his table neighbor before he bet 35,000,000.
Griff moved all in after some consideration and Serock was instantly stunned, shook his head and asked for the exact amount of the shove. The all-in was for 61,000,000 and Serock folded to get shown the 5?5? for quads by Griff.
"I had eight-seven," Serock said, indicating he folded a flopped straight.
Level 39
: Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante
Diogo Coelho raised to 6,800,000 from under the gun for most of his stack. Niklas Astedt called from early position and the rest of the table got out of the way.
The K?Q?6? flop was checked by Coelho and Astedt bet enough to put him all in. Coelho ended up putting in his last 4,900,000.
Diogo Coelho: A?J?
Niklas Astedt: A?K?
Astedt showed top pair and Coelho needed running cards or a ten to avoid elimination, but the Q? turn and 8? river ended his run in tenth place for $800,000. The final nine players will now be bagging their chips before taking on all picture and interview duties.
Full chip counts and a recap of today's action are to follow.
