Miranda and Penev Bust in Cruel Fashion

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Fabio Miranda
Fabio Miranda

Derek Lawless raised and called the shove of Fabio Miranda for more than 32 big blinds and the table was somewhat stunned to see Lawless turn over the {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. Miranda had the {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} and saw the board run out {10-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs}.

Soon after, Attila Havacs raised and called the shove of Zlatin Penev, who got the remaining 145,000 in the middle with the best of it.

Zlatin Penev: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}
Attila Havacs: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}

The board came {Q-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and Penev busted in very unfortunate fashion.

In the meanwhile, the live stream has caught up on the eliminations of Romain Lewis and Andrew Hulme, who were ousted in 50th and 48th place.

Ahluwalia and Miranda Double

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Fabio Miranda was all in and at risk for 167,000 with the {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and John Cynn had the slightly inferior pocket pair in {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. The board came {K-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs} and Miranda doubled.

Shay Ahluwalia also ended up all in for 89,000 and initial raiser Arvydas Merfeldas called with the {A-Clubs}{j-Clubs}. Ahluwalia and his {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} fell behind on the {J-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop, but the {Q-Diamonds} turn and {10-Clubs} river restored the preflop order.

Down to nine big blinds, 90,000 to be exact, Zlatin Penev moved all in from early position and he faced Aleem Kanji in the showdown.

Alejandro Perez Torres won a flip for 49,000 with {A-Spades}{10-Spades} against the {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} of Jun Young Park on a board of {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}.

Muehloecker called with {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and the {K-Diamonds} river was a blank.

The board came {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and Muehloecker scored back-to-back eliminations.
