Level 34: 200,000-400,000, 25,000 ante
Esfandiari raises to 800,000, Robl quickly moves all in, and Esfandiari quickly calls with K
J
. Robl shows Q10, and he'll need to improve to stay alive.
There is a fairly long delay before the flop comes out, as the crowd goes completely wild on both sides. Antonio's friends sing a full verse of "Happy Birthday."
The flop comes AK6, giving Esfandiari a pair of kings to Robl's diamond flush draw.
The turn card pairs the board with the 6, and Robl needs a diamond on the river to stay alive.
The river card is -- the 5
!
There is pandemonium in the room as Antonio Esfandiari wins the pot -- and the tournament -- with two pair, kings and sixes. Esfandiari leaps into the arms of his friends on the rail, and one of them lifts him into the air as they all gather around him. A few seconds later, Esfandiari was crowd surfing above his friends.
Level 30: 80,000-160,000, 15,000 ante
Vanessa Rousso completes the small blind to 160,000, and Andrew Robl checks his option in the big blind. The flop comes JJ8, Rousso checks, Robl min-bets 160,000, and Rousso calls.
The turn card trips the board with the J, Robl bets 500,000, and Rousso thinks for about a minute before she min-raises to 1,000,000. Robl thinks for nearly two minutes before reraising to 2.5 million. Rousso quickly folds, and Andrew Robl takes the pot.
Seat 1. Antonio Esfandiari - 2,745,000
Seat 2. Vanessa Rousso - 7,645,000
Seat 6. Andrew Robl - 7,165,0000

6, Robl checks, Esfandiari bets 595,000, and Robl thinks for a bit before he moves all in. Esfandiari immediately folds, and Robl takes the pot.

The turn card is the 7, and Rousso quickly says, "I'm all in." Robl tanks for nearly four minutes before he says, "Alright, I call."
Robl shows 105 for a pair of tens, but he's dominated by Rousso's Q10 (pair of tens, higher kicker). Robl needs a five on the river to bust Rousso here.
The river card is the Q, and Rousso wins the pot with two pair, queens and tens, to double up in chips. Vanessa Rousso has reclaimed the chip lead that she started the final table with.

Seat 6. Andrew Robl - 5,675,000
Level 29: 60,000-120,000, 15,000 ante
The button wasn't moved after the last hand, and as a result, Robl mistakenly gets the button twice in a row.
Andrew Robl raises from the button to 300,000, Antonio Esfandiari reraises from the small blind to 910,000, and Robl thinks for a bit before he calls.
The flop comes 1084, Esfandiari bets 1.6 million, and Robl thinks for less than a minute before he moves all in. Esfandiari asks for the 1.6 million to be brought in, and then to get a count of Robl's remaining stack. Robl has 3.16 million behind, and Esfandiari has him covered by more than 2.2 million.
Esfandiari thinks for more than three minutes before he folds, and Robl takes the pot -- and the chip lead.

Vanessa Rousso moves all in from the small blind, and Andrew Robl quickly calls with AK. Rousso shows AQ, and she's dominated as she faces elimination.
Robl's friends start chanting, "Robl! Robl!" Robl!" for about 10 seconds, and then quiet down for the flop.
The flop comes Q108, and now it's Rousso's cheering section that explodes as she pairs her queen to take the lead. But Robl picks up a gutshot straight draw for additional outs.
The turn card is the -- K! It's Robl's section that takes the cheering lead back.
The river card is the -- Q! Rousso's cheering section goes crazy as she wins the hand with trip queens to double up in chips.

The turn card is the 9, and Robl thinks for a few moments and says, "I'm all in." Morrison calls with AJ (pair of aces), but Robl turns over 55 for a set of fives. Morrison is drawing dead. (The meaningless river card pairs the board with the 10, giving Robl a full house, fives full of tens.)

Rousso says, "I have a feeling that this is so going to be like the last hand," and she goes into the tank.
After about three minutes, Rousso asks, "Do you want me to do this?" Robl says nothing, and Rousso adds, "I have a big hand. A really, really, really big hand."
Rousso starts to stretch her arm and says in a drawn-out voice, "Okay … I'm going to …" and then she pulls back her arm and seems to start thinking thru the hand some more.
A few moments later, she calls the clock on herself. (She did the same thing yesterday in a huge spot against Antonio Esfandiari, and she ended up calling to win the pot.)
Rousso says, "Did you think you were good here with top pair?"
Finally, when the countdown gets down to the final three seconds, Rousso pushes her cards forward to fold. (Total time in the tank was nearly eight minutes.) Robl's friends cheer from the stands as he takes the pot, and as you'd expect, he doesn't reveal anything about his hand.

Rousso shows 99, and if it holds up, Robl will be eliminated.
