Big Hands:
Panayote Vilandos Gives Scotty Nguyen Impersonation
Steve Sung raised on the button and Panayote Vilandos called from the small blind. The flop came 26Q and Vilandos checked. Sung opted to check behind and the 8 hit the turn. Vilandos checked to Sung, who quickly fired out 520,000. Vilandos thought briefly before moving all-in and Sung instantly folded. Vilandos yelled out, “7 high, 7 high baby!” Sung started talking back to Vilandos, taunting him to show his hand. Vilandos mucked and took the small pot.
James Matz Eliminated In 3rd Place ($313,826)
James Matz was in the small blind when he threw out an additional 60,000 to complete the big blind. Steve Sung wasn’t willing to see a cheap flop as he fired out a 400,000 chip bet. Matz quickly called the raise from Sung and both players saw a flop of 105Q. Matz quickly led out for 475,000 and Sung went into the tank before raising to 1,100,000 total. Matz almost beat him into the pot by announcing he was all-in. Sung went into the tank once again and eventually made the call. Matz announced he had a pair when he flipped over the 54 for bottom pair, and was almost a coin flip against the KJ of Sung. Sung had plenty of outs to bust his opponent but none of them came on the turn as it brought the 8. Sung needed an ace or nine for a staight, or a jack or king to make a higher pair than the fives of Matz. The A fell on the river, giving him the nuts, and Sung added another final table elimination to his belt and entered heads up play with a substantial chip lead of 13,000,000 to just under the 5 million of Panayote Vilandos.

Big Hands:
Steve Sung Eliminates Nathan Mullen In 5th Place ($175,851)
On the first hand of the level, James Matz went all-in pre-flop and everyone folded. On the second hand, Nathan Mullen went all-in and everyone folded. The third time was a charm for an elimination, as on the third hand of play in level 30, Mullen moved all-in pre-flop for 1,580,000 and was called by Steve Sung. Larry Sidebotham went into the tank in the big blind before eventually folding. Mullen tabled the J10 and was about even money against the A7 of Sung. The flop was a beauty for Mullen as it came KQJ, putting him out in front with a pair of jacks. Sung needed to catch one of the remaining tens in the deck to make broad way, or risk doubling up an opponent at the start of the level. The 6 hit the turn and Nathan needed to dodge one more card to double up. The dealer burned and the 10 slid off the deck onto the felt, giving Sung the nuts, and eliminating Mullen in 5th. Sung is now up to 11,500,000.
Larry Sidebotham Eliminated In 4th Place ($227,254)
From the button, Larry Sidebotham moved all-in for 925,000 with QJ and was called by James Matz in the small blind with the A7. The flop was ugly for Sidebotham as it came 239, eliminating some of his outs. The turn brought the 3 and Sidebotham and his cheering section were down to their last card to avoid elimination. The 9 fell on the river and Sidebotham was the 4th place finisher in the massive field.

Big Hands:
Steve Sung Takes Another Pot Off Of Dan Heimiller
Steve Sung and Dan Heimiller both checked a flop of 4J8. The 5 hit the turn and Heimiller bet out 350,000. Sung contemplated briefly before announcing that he was all-in. Heimiller made another lay down to Sung who is picking up steam and looks poised to play heads up for the bracelet with one of the other remaining players. This was the second time Sung has made a huge all-in bet against Heimiller.
Dan Heimiller Eliminated In 6th Place ($145,009)
After limping in, Dan Heimiller was faced with a raise of 350,000 by Steve Sung and a call from Panayote Vilandos. Heimiller elected to go all-in over the top of Sung’s raise and try to double up to a stack closer to what he entered the final table with. Sung called the all-in bet and Vilandos folded. Heimiller exposed the AK and had Sung’s AQ dominated. The crowd gathered in anticipation as the flop of 3Q6 was magical for Sung, giving him a huge lead in the hand. Heimiller failed to catch up as the turn brought the 3 and the 2 hit the river. Heimiller was looking strong going into the final table but has now gone out in 6th place. Sung is now in command with 9,400,000 in chips.

Steve Sung Rebounds, Takes Out Jeff Oakes In 7th Place ($126,613)
Steve Sung made it 220,000 to go pre-flop and was moved in on by the short stack of Jeff Oakes. Oakes only had 465,000 total and Sung made the easy call with the AQ. Oakes tabled the 55 and the players were off to a race. The flop came AK4, giving Sung top pair and leaving Oakes with a runner-runner straight draw or the board bringing a five to avoid elimination. The 10 hit the turn and the A fell on the river to give Sung trips and send Oakes home in 7th placce. Sung has rebounded back up to 1,620,000 after falling below a million.
Larry Sidebotham Doubles Up
James Matz raised to 210,000 pre-flop and Larry Sidebotham moved all-in for 465,000 more. Matz went into the tank before finally calling with 76, and Sidebotham saw about the best he could hope for as he turned over his 109. The board ran out 3AAJJ and Sidebotham doubled up to 1,530,000 to the delight of his loud cheering section.
Steve Sung takes Over The Chip Lead
Dan Heimiller raised to 210,000 pre-flop and Steve Sung called from the big blind. Both players saw a flop of 8A10 and Sung bet out 300,000 into Heimiller. The former chip leader made the call and the turn brought the J. Sung fired out again, this time turning up the heat with a 650,000 chip bet. Heimiller announced raise and put out 1,500,000 total, for a raise of 850,000. Sung went into the tank before shoving the remainder of his chips into the middle. It didn’t take too long for Heimiller to fold, and Sung took down the huge pot. He is now the chip leader with 6,350,000.

Phong contemplated briefly before making the call. The 2 hit the turn and Fuhs led out again, this time for 400,000, the majority of his remaining chips.
