Level 34 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Mike Takayama

Mike Takayama departs in third place, in a fancy way, with another massive three-way pot. The tournament had just started after the break, and Takayama announced all in from the button, for approximately 2.8 million in chips. Florencio Campomanes called from the small blind, and Thijs Hilberts announced his call, to send the pot to almost eight figures.

The flop came {7-Clubs}{10-Spades}{5-Clubs}, and there were two players playing for a side pot now, while Takayama was standing up in front of his seat, waiting patiently for the time that they will open their cards and see where he is with his hand.

The flop followed by two quick checks, and the {8-Clubs} came on the river. This card brought some action, as Campomanes bet 600,000 and Hilberts called to create a 1.2 million side pot.

The {8-Spades} on the river completed the board, and this time Campomanes put out a 2 million-chip bet, in which Hilberts fold. Campomanes took the 1.2 million side pot, and he opened his cards along with Takayama, to determine who will win the side pot. Campomanes hand was very strong, with {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for the nut flush, while Takayama had only a {k-Clubs}{q-Spades} to show, with just king-high.

Takayama is eliminated, while Campomanes won a big pot, and will start the heads-up confrontation with a substantial lead.

The heads-up is getting prepared, and play will continue in five minutes.

In a limped pot Xinyu Wang bet 400,000 on a {k-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop and Florencio Campomanes raised to 1,050,000. Wang called.

The turn was the {8-Hearts} and Wang thought about his options. He initially counted out 1,500,000 before opting to move all in for 3,700,000.

Campomanes gave it some thought before calling.

Xinyu Wang: {k-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Florencio Campomanes: {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

Campomanes had flopped two pair against the top pair of Wang. Wang could still hit a king, six, eight or seven to stay alive but the river was the {5-Spades} and he was eliminated.

Duc Trung Vu

Florencio Campomanes opened to 500,000 on the button and called a shove from Duc Trung Vu in the big blind for the Vietnamese player's last 2,900,000.

Florencio Campomanes: {k-Spades}{9-Spades}
Duc Trung Vu: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}

"I folded a king," said Thijs Hilberts.

"Yes!" said Campomanes unexpectedly, "It's going to come out then!"

There was a king in the window of a {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} giving Campomanes the lead. The turn, unbelievably, was another king the {k-Diamonds}.

Tablemate Mike Takayama was pointing out the pay jump to his rail on the tournament screen, but Vu could still hit a queen on the river to stay alive. However, the river was the {8-Clubs} and he was eliminated as Campomanes chipped up to almost half the chips in play.
