Level 14 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Kayhan Mokri moved all in from the cutoff and Quan Zhou called for his last 45,000 in the small blind.

Quan Zhou: 9?9?
Kayhan Mokri: K?9?

Mokri couldn't connect with the 4?J?6?2?9? board as Zhou made a set on the river to double up yet again.

Left with just 22,000, Mokri was in the big blind the next hand and called when small blind Ottomar Ladva raised.

Kayhan Mokri: 7?5?
Ottomar Ladva: A?K?

Mokri could only laugh after running into another big hand. Ladva made top pair on the 7?A?2? flop as the K? fell on the turn. The J? river, though, improved Mokri to a flush and kept him in the tournament.

"How do you do it?" Felipe Ketzer joked with him afterward.

Level 14 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Quan Zhou was down to just 30,000 when he moved all in under the gun. Kayhan Mokri reshoved on the button and the rest of the table got out of the way.

Quan Zhou: K?J?
Kayhan Mokri: A?6?

Zhou was looking for help and found it on the J?4?10? flop with top pair. Mokri was already cutting out the chips to call as the 8? fell on the turn, followed by the 9? river as Zhou doubled his short stack.

Kayhan Mokri raised to 16,000 from the hijack before Bruno Volkmann moved all in for 82,000 in the cutoff. "No ace," Mokri pleaded as he called.

Bruno Volkmann: Q?Q?
Kayhan Mokri: A?4?

Volkmann smacked another flop, hitting a set on K?Q?4?. Mokri made trips on the 4? turn but Volkmann improved to a full house and secured a double up following the 10? river.

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

In a blind versus blind battle, Felipe Ketzer bet 56,000 on a board of 2?6?2?3? and Bruno Volkmann called.

The river came the J? and Ketzer assembled a bet of 215,000, representing most of Volkmann's remaining stack. Volkmann burned through a time bank before he called.

Ketzer turned over 4?2? for flopped trips and Volkmann mucked as he watched nearly his entire stack slid in Ketzer's direction.
