Daniel Clark:
Board:
Clark won the pot with top pair and Del Piero was the final player to take home £5,500. All remaining 24 have laddered up to a guaranteed £6,500.
Michael Chi Zhang was one of the tournament short stacks after folding to Steven Morris on the river just a few hands ago, and he has been unable to survive the end of the level.

Patrice Brandt:
Board:
It was two pair for Brandt and he took the pot as Zhang, winner of $800,000 during the partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Germany Super High Roller last week, made his way to the cash desk to receive his £5,500 prize money.
Daniel Clark raised to 140,000 and Ning Lu called. Enzo Del Piero three-bet to 475,000 and Lu was the only caller.
The flop came and Lu check-called a bet of 450,000. The turn was checked by both players. The river was the and Lu bet 595,000. He got the snap-call from Del Piero, but Del Piero mucked as soon as Lu turned over for a turned straight.
Michael Chi Zhang was playing from the under the gun position and up against Steven Morris who was on the button.
With the board showing , Zhang bet 295,000 into a pot of around 900,000. Morris was the bigger of the two stacks and moved all in. Zhang would have to risk his tournament life to call and thought for several minutes. Eventually, Morris' pressure was enough to get Zhang to fold.
Morris, who emulated Zhang by winning a partypoker LIVE Super High Roller event this week, was kind enough to show his opponent he held pocket-kings for a set and Zhang, in turn, revealed he had folded ace-ten.
On a board Daniel Morgan had checked to Enzo Del Piero who bet 900,000. A back-and-forth developed between the pair, with Del Piero promising to show "no matter what."
Eventually Morgan called and Del Piero showed . Morgan turned over and took down the pot.
Meanwhile, Chris Sly was all in for 1,850,000 with against the of Alex Harrison. There were no dramas on a board and Sly doubled up.
