Level 18: 8,000-16,000, 2,000 ante
Scotty Nguyen rebuilt his stack a bit after doubling up Faraz Jaka, getting his stack back up over the 900,000-chip mark. Then he played this hand against Mike Sowers.
Mike Sowers raises under the gun, Scotty Nguyen reraises an additional 150,000 from the button, and Sowers moves all in for another 371,000 on top of that. Scotty calls with A
Q
, and Sowers turns over J
J. Sowers will need it to hold to survive.
The board comes KQJ4A
, and Mike Sowers wins the pot with a set of jacks over Scotty's two pair.
Mike Sowers - 1,150,000
Scotty Nguyen - 390,000
Level 18: 8,000-16,000, 2,000 ante
Scotty Nguyen raises under the gun to 70,000, and Faraz Jaka calls from middle position. The flop comes Q103, Scotty checks, Jaka bets 100,000, and Scotty calls.
The turn card is the 8, Scotty checks, Jaka bets 250,000, and Scotty check-raises to 650,000. Jaka moves all in for 1,022,000, and Scotty calls with KJ (open-ended straight draw). Jaka shows 1010 for a set of tens, and he'll need it to hold to stay alive.
The river card is the 7, and Jaka wins the biggest pot of the tournament (2.2 million) with his set of tens.
Faraz Jaka - 2,247,000
Scotty Nguyen - 600,000
Level 18: 8,000-16,000, 2,000 ante

Level 19: 10,000-20,000, 2,000 ante
Steven Landfish moves all in from middle position for 226,000, and Scotty Nguyen asks for an exact count from the cutoff. Scotty thinks for about a minute before he picks up his cards to recheck them and folds.
In rapid succession, Eric Hershler (button), Joe Elpayaa (small blind), and Jeremy Brown (big blind) all fold. Scotty raises up his arms in frustration, claiming he only folded because he didn't want someone to wake up with a big hand behind him.
Landfish tells them he had a small pair, and Scotty tells everyone he folded pocket tens. (I can vouch for that fact, because he held his cards up high enough to be seen from my angle before he folded.) At that point, the three guys who folded are the ones who are shocked, wondering why Scotty didn't call considering he has about 2 million in chips.

Level 18: 8,000-16,000, 2,000 ante
The action has slowed down so far in Level 18, with small pots and few river cards. Here's one of the bigger recent hands:
Joe Elpayaa raises from the small blind to 45,000, and Jeremy Brown calls from the big blind. The flop comes 853, Elpayaa bets 56,000, and Brown calls. The turn card is the K, Elpayaa checks, Brown bets 80,000, and Elpayaa folds.
Jeremy Brown takes the pot, proudly saying he will always defend his big blind no matter what two cards he has, and he says that the 8-5-3 flop was right in his wheelhouse.
Jeremy Brown - 805,000
Joe Elpayaa - 1,090,000
The next hand, Scotty Nguyen raises from middle position to take the blinds and antes. When Brown folds his small blind, Scotty asks him why he's not defending. Brown says he'll only defend his big blind, and only when the small blind raises.
Level 16: 5,000-10,000, 1,000 ante
