Christopher Johnson moved all in for 875,000 from middle position and Jeevandeep Singh called out of the small blind.
Christopher Johnson: Q♦9♦
Jeevandeep Singh: 8♥8♣
It was back-to-back coin-flip hands for Singh, and for the second time in a row, the proverbial coin came down in his favor as it ran out 7♥4♣K♠7♠2♥.
Level 26
: Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Christopher Rudd raised to 300,000 from middle position and Jeevandeep Singh three-bet to 700,000 from the big blind. Rudd responded by four-bet jamming for 1,400,000 and Singh quickly called.
Christopher Rudd: K♥Q♠
Jeevandeep Singh: J♠J♣
It was a flip and the 10♠3♦7♦ flop missed Rudd. The A♦ turn gave him an added straight draw to go with his overs, but the 10♣ river was a brick.

Level 26
: 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Elijah Obel-Jorgensen raised to 400,000 from the cutoff, and Daeng Vang used his time extensions waiting for a possible elimination at the other table before sending his stack of 475,000 into the middle. Obel-Jorgensen called, and the cards were turned up.
Daeng Vang: Q♠10♠
Elijah Obel-Jorgensen: K♠K♣
Vang was in bad shape, but picked up some extra outs on the J♣Q♦8♣ flop. Obel-Jorgensen's pocket kings held through the 4♣ turn and 8♥ river, sending Vang out on the final table bubble.
Level 26
: 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Xiong Thao raised to 250,000 from the button only to have Dylan Anderson move all in for 1,725,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded and Thao, who had just a bit more, snap-called.
Dylan Anderson: A♥9♥
Xiong Thao: Q♠Q♦
"You actually had it this time," Anderson admitted.
"I actually had it," Thao responded.
The 6♥5♥K♠ flop made things interesting by delivering Anderson a heart flush draw, but that was all the help he got as both the 10♠ turn and J♠ river bricked out.
Level 26
: 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Dylan Anderson moved his stack of 1,100,000 into the middle from the hijack, and Vy Nguyen made the call in the big blind.
Dylan Anderson: K♠Q♣
Vy Nguyen: 5♥5♦
Nguyen's pocket pair stayed ahead through the 10♥10♠3♣ flop and 6♠ turn, while Anderson celebrated as the K♦ river gave him the better two pair.
Anderson won the flip to survive, doubling up through Nguyen.
