Table 3

Hand #59: Leif Force moved all in from the button for around 2.4 million and action fell on Christopher Greaves in the small blind. He announced an all in over the top, prompting a fold from Oscar Kemps in the big blind.

"I hope you're weak," said Greaves before the hands were tabled.

Greaves: {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Force: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}

"Come on! Come on!" chanted Force before the flop was dealt.

The dealer fanned {9-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts} on the felt.

"F**K!" yelled Force, seeing the flop gave Greaves trip tens.

Force was looking for a jack on the subsequent streets, but found no help from the {5-Hearts} turn or {8-Spades} river. He was eliminated from play in 21st place while Greaves boosted his stack up to 6.65 million.

Table 2 Hands #41-42: Queen-High Wins for Velador

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Hand #41: Jorryt van Hoof opened to 375,000 and both William Tonking and Luis Velador called from the cutoff and button, respectively. The flop came {J-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, and when van Hoof led for 1,000,000 that prompted two swift folds from Tonking and Velador.

Hand #42: From the cutoff, Luis Velador opened to 320,000 and both Dan Smith and Scott Mahin made the call to see a {3-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop. The action was checked to Velador who bet out 450,000 which only Mahin called. Both then checked the {A-Spades} turn.

The river brought the {8-Hearts} and again both players checked with Mahin tabling his {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for a busted straight draw as Velador scooped the pot with his {Q-Spades}{10-Hearts}.

Hand #34: Craig McCorkell opened for 350,000 from the hijack and took down the blinds and antes.

Hand #35: McCorkell raised to 350,000 for the second hand in a row, and once again he swiped the blinds and antes.

Hand #36: Bruno Politano opened for 350,000 from the hijack only to have Martin Jacobson three-bet to 850,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Politano and he called to see a flop of {2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-}. Both players checked, the {K-Clubs} appeared on the turn, and the Brazilian checked. His Swedish opponent did the same and the {Q-Spades} completed the board on the river. Politano led out for 975,000 and Jacobson folded.

Hand #37: Felix Stephensen raised to 350,000 from the button, Craig McCorkell called from the big blind, and the flop came down {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. McCorkell checked, Stephensen bet 250,000, and McCorkell made the call. When the {6-Hearts} appeared on the turn, McCorkell checked and Stephensen fired out 530,000. McCorkell called and the two watched the {3-Clubs} complete the board on the river.

McCorkell checked for a third time, and Stephensen kept the pressure on with a bet of 850,000. McCorkell gave it some thought but ultimately conceded the hand.

Hand #38: Stephensen raised to 350,000 from the cutoff and swiped the blinds and antes.

Yorane Kerignard Eliminated in 23rd Place ($286,900)

Table 3

Hand #53: Yorane Kerignard raised to 330,000 from the hijack and it folded over to Christopher Greaves in the small blind. He three-bet shoved for 2.7 million and it folded back to Kerignard who called.

Kerignard: {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}
Greaves: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}

The board ran out {7-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades}{J-Clubs}, keeping Greaves' jacks in the lead with a full house of jacks full of fours and allowing him to double. Kerignard was crippled to just 125,000.

Hand #54: Kerignard moved all in for his last 105,000 from middle position and Androni Larrabe raised to 525,000 from the next seat over. It folded to Christopher Greaves who announced that he was all in over the top. Action folded back to Larrabe and he called for his own tournament life of 2.495 million. Greaves had both of his opponents covered heading to the community cards.

Kerignard: {J-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Larrabe: {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}
Greaves: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}

The players received a huge sweat on the {2-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop, giving Greaves outs to make the wheel and a club flush, as well as keeping his overcard outs.

"Are these flops even real?" remarked chip leader Dan Sindelar as he watch his opponents sweating their fates.

The {4-Hearts} paired the board on the turn and Larrabe's jacks were still in the lead. He needed to dodge Greaves' many outs in order to scoop the entire pot. He did exactly that as the {9-Spades} came down on the river, allowing him to eliminate Kerignard and double through Greaves.

Kerignard was eliminated in 23rd place while Larrabe brought his stack up to 5.25 million in chips.

Table 2 Hands #38-40: Pots for Palmer and Tonking

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Hand #38: From the hijack Scott Palmer opened to 320,000 and both William Pappaconstantinou and William Tonking made the call from the button and big blind respectively.

On the {7-Hearts}{2-Spades}{Q-Spades} flop, Tonking checked and Palmer continued for 480,000 which was enough to produce folds from Pappaconstantinou and Tonking.

Hand #39: Scott Mahin entered the pot with a raise to 350,000 from the hijack and Jorryt van Hoof called in the cutoff before William Tonking three-bet to 1,150,000 from the small blind.

Both Mahin and van Hoof folded and the pot was pushed to Tonking.

Hand #40: From the small blind Luis Velador limped and Maximilian Senft checked to see a {2-Spades}{J-Spades}{10-Diamonds} flop. Velador bet out 200,000 and Senft called as the {J-Diamonds} landed on the turn and Senft bet 350,000 with Velador check-calling.

The river landed the {5-Clubs} ad both players checked with Velador tabling his {10-Clubs}{4-Clubs} to chop with Senft's {10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}.

Table 2 Hands #36-37: Velador Slipping

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Hand #36: Luis Velador kicked things off with a raise to 320,000 only to have Maximilian Senft three-bet next to act in the hijack to 800,000. The action folded round to Velador and he made the call.

The flop came {4-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Velador checked. Senft pushed out a bet of 800,000 and Velador made the call. The turn brought the {5-Diamonds} and Velador checked again to Senft who bet out 1,400,000. Velador opted to fold, and he slipped to 13.9 million.

Hand #37: From the cutoff Scott Palmer raised to 320,000 and William Pappaconstantinou raised to 925,000 from the small blind. Palmer released and Pappaconstantinou was pushed the pot.

Feature Table

Hand #33: Action folded to the button once more, and it was 350,000 this time from Bruno Politano. This time, the blinds fought back, with Kyle Keranen making it 775,000 from the small. Unlike many of the recent three-bets though, this one was met with a four-bet by Politano: 1.2 million. Keranen responded by jamming it in, and Politano called.

Keranen: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Politano: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

It was the worst possible scenario for Keranen. He needed help in a hurry. The {6-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop provided nothing immediate, though the {10-Hearts} was a start suggesting backdoor possibilities. But the {3-Diamonds} ended it on the turn, with the {2-Spades} as the meaningless river.
