Level 33 : 75,000/150,000, 18,750 ante

"MechaREcorta" came in for a raise to 250,000 and action folded around to "GoMore21" who committed almost all of his 3,450,914 chips stack. "MechaREcorta" mulled it over for a moment before calling with {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}, but wasn't happy to see the {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs} of his opponent.

Board ran out without any surprises - {9-Hearts}{2-Spades}{A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} - and "GoMore21" dragged the massive pot.

Level 32 : 62,500/125,000, 15,625 ante

Argentinian player "MechaREcorta" came to the final table with the biggest stack, and have been the most active player throughout it. "MechaREcorta" was even over ten million chips for a while, but just lost a flip with {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} to the {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} of Enigmasility.

With more than eight million chips the Argentinian is still the overwhelming chip leader and still sports a stack of double the average.

Level 31 : 50,000/100,000, 12,500 ante

"Spider4444" raised to 275,000 from the hijack before "poohmanCZ" in the big blind committed all of it from the big blind for at total of 1,233,265 chips. The Belarusian quickly called with {A-Clubs}{K-Spades} and were well in front of the {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} of his opponent, but the {Q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop changed everything.

All of a sudden "poohmanCZ" were the overwhelming favorite to win the hand, but yet another twist and turn to the hand come on the turn where the {K-Diamonds} rolled off. The river was the {A-Spades}, making both players two pairs and sending the pot to "spider4444".

"PoohmanCZ" was instead eliminated in 8th - good for a cool $30,000.
