They got it in preflop with Tambling at risk as follows.

Jaret Tambling: 1010 All in

Ngai Leaves with a Healthy Profit

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Michael Ngai was all in for his final 140,000 from the small blind, at risk against Lingyu Zen from under the gun.

Michael Ngai: A4 All in
Lingyu Zen: JJ

Ngai needed some help to survive, but the J96 flop sealed the deal already, with Ngai drawing dead on the 97 runout, and Zen collected his bounty.

However, Ngai was the recipient of an $8,785 bounty earlier in the day as already locked up a great result.

Patel Leads; Kilcoyne Busts

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Bartley Dowling was all-in before the flop against James Driscoll and that led to the following all-in showdown.

Bartley Dowling: AQ All in
James Driscoll: AK

The superior kicker stayed ahead and Dowling made the higher flush on the 87254 runout.

Soon after on the same table, there was a three-way all-in. David Kilcoyne jammed for 175,000 and was called by Namit Patel. Benjamin Aminoff then went all-in over the top and Patel called.

David Kilcoyne: A5 All in
Benjamin Aminoff: 33 All in
Namit Patel: 99

The highest pocket pair held on the 762K4 board to send two players to the rail.

In a five-way limped pot with 165,000 in the middle, the flop read 922.

Namit Patel: QQ All in
David Kilcoyne: A9

Patel had set the trap by limping first-in and Kilcoyne went with his flopped top pair. The board ran out JK, keeping Patel's queens best to win a pot of over two million chips.

The Madness Continues

Level 18 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Lawrence Abrams was knocked out over on table two while Jaret Tambling earned the bounty.

On the same table, Michael Lazarowitz raised to 60,000 and called a three-bet to 180,000 by Kaifan Wang.

The QJ2 flop saw Lazarowitz check-call for 125,000 and then check the 5 turn. Wang bet 275,000 and called the shove by Lazarowitz.

Michael Lazarowitz: KJ All in
Kaifan Wang: AA

"Wow, you got me," Lazarowitz said and couldn't connect on the 9 river. Both stacks were counted and Wang had the covering stack.

Soon after that, Wang raise-called the shove by Nicholas Falcone for 270,000.

Nicholas Falcone: 99 All in
Kaifan Wang: K4

The J52Q10 board kept the pocket pair in the lead.

Back-to-Back KOs for Kilcoyne

Level 18 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

David Kilcoyne opened to 55,000 under the gun before a player jammed for 215,000 on his direct left, and Kilcoyne called once it folded back to him.

Early Position: A7 All in
David Kilcoyne: AK

The 642 flop offered no help to either player with Kilcoyne maintaining the advantage. The K turned sealed the bounty for Kilcoyne as the 10 river was irrelevant.

The next hand, it folded to Jean Paul Norero in the small blind who jammed for an even 200,000, and Kilcoyne snapped it off in the big blind.

Jean Paul Norero: A5 All in
David Kilcoyne: K10

Norero held the slight advantage as the Q75 flop kept him in the lead. The J turned opened up way more outs for Kilcoyne, who found the 10 on the river to eliminate another opponent as he collects his fourth of the day.

Todd Lewis: AQ All in
Colbert Silva: A9

The J847J board gave Lewis the winning flush on the turn.

No longer on the table is Xiang Zou who busted not long ago.

The board ran out Q94610 and Lazarowitz paired his queen to leave Abrams on fumes.
