Wilska Wins, Garcia Gone, Another Cooler

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Jaako Wilska made it 45,000 from early position and was raised to 95,000 by Jose Antonio Gascon Garcia two seats further round.

Wilska raised all-in and Garcia called it off, but leapt up out of his chair in disgust when he saw what he'd done.

Jose Antonio Gascon Garcia: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Jaako Wilska: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

The flop of {7-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} opened up four more outs for Garcia, with any nine or jack good for the winning hand if it could hold. That didn't happen across the {7-Diamonds} turn or {5-Diamonds} river, however, and while Jaako Wilska leaped to one of the top five chip-stacks in the room, Garcia was gone.

Garcia Martin Doubles Through Khuu

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

The stack of Francisco Jose Garcia Martin has dwindled down to all but 168,000 and he got that in with the {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}. Chuc Khuu looked him up with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} and the roller coaster board of {Q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{10-Spades}{J-Diamonds} gave Garcia Martin a straight.

Tran's Aces Bust Sanchez Miguel

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Over on the feature table, Do Chung Tran has been doing some work and just picked up a big hand to knock out Javier Sanchez Miguel. The Spaniard jammed for some 200,000 with {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and was unfortunate to find Tran in the small blind with {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}.

The board came {A-Clubs}{7-Spades}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and Sanchez Miguel has been eliminated.

Hakli Finds a Double

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Marco Hakli was all in and at risk for 187,000 with the {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} and Alessio Sardone took the flip with {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. The flop of {K-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts} was as good as it could get for Hakli, and the {7-Diamonds} turn and {6-Spades} river changed nothing anymore.

Graells Loves the Ladies

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Ricardo Juan Graells moved all-in from late position for over 70,000 and was called by the player in the big blind with {A-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} .

The board of {J-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} gave Graells the lifeline the desperately needed and with no time for vengeance either, as the table was broken. Graells joked to Cate Hall that she was assured of a final day place already, but Hall wasn't counting any chickens. Graells suggested they stick together....and they both got sat at Table 3. Who know how long both players will survive, but Hall has roughly ten times Graells stack.

Navarro Nicely Poised for Comeback

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

David Xarau Navarro called Daniel Soler's bet of 37,00 pre-flop, with Soler on the button and Navarro in the big blind.

The flop of {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{2-Hearts} saw Soler continue for 33,000 and get a call. On the turn {5-Clubs}, both players checked, and they did likewise on the {6-Clubs} river.

Soler flung his cards into the muck upon seeing Navarro's {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, which was the winning hand. Navarro, silent, impassive, simply but slowly pulled the new chips into his hands and ignored all attempts at discussion before focusing on the next hand.

Vazquez Gomez Flushed Away

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Alejandro Vazquez Gomez
Alejandro Vazquez Gomez

Over on the feature table, Alejandro Vazquez Gomez was all in with {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs} on a flop of {7-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and Besmir Hodaj looked him up with the {K-Spades}{2-Spades}. The {3-Spades} turn instantly left Vazquez Gomez drawing dead, and that rendered the {Q-Hearts} river to a minor formality.

Eriksson Finds a Double

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Stefan Eriksson
Stefan Eriksson

Javier de Vicente Miquel raised to 36,000 and called the shove of Stefan Eriksson from one seat over for around 320,000 for most of his stack.

Stefan Eriksson: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Javier de Vicente Miquel: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and that left de Vicente Miquel short.

Hall Flushes Away Soler Puig

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Jaime Victor Soler Puig
Jaime Victor Soler Puig

From under the gun, Jaime Victor Soler Puig moved all in for his last 157,000 and Cate Hall called out of the big blind.

Jaime Victor Soler Puig: {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Cate Hall: {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

The {J-Spades}{K-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop gave Hall the nut flush draw and the Spaniard middle pair. It was all over after the {6-Clubs} turn, making the {6-Hearts} river a formality.

Only two minutes later, Sofian Benaissa sent his stack over to Marco Regonaschi and the Italian is the joint chip leader alongside Hall in the last two levels of the night.
