Demetriou Busts Denuzzo

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Picking up the action on the {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Spades} turn, George Demetriou bet 48,000 and Michele Denuzzo moved all in foir around 200,000.

"How much is that?" Demetriou immediately asked and then mentioned in table chat he had nothing and "just a drawing hand." However, he made the call to create the following showdown:

Michele Denuzzo: {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
George Demetriou: {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

It was a big double draw for Demetriou, who got there thanks to the {q-Diamonds} on the river to join the chip millionaire club.

Miller Slipping

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Gary Miller still had a very healthy stack of 1.3 million after the final three tables were balanced but he dropped some of that when he tried to get Valdir Cordeiro dos Santos off a pocket pair.

Miller bet the {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades} river for 164,000 and picked up a call to reveal {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds} for ace-jack high, which Cordeiro dos Santos had beat with the {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}.

Khatri Busts Saliba in Battle of Premium Hands

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Vivian Saliba
Vivian Saliba

Vivian Saliba had been down to as low as 100,000 on the final four tables and managed to double once, then spin it up some more. Ultimately, the run of the 888poker ambassador came to an end in 26th place when she got into a raising war with Bhavin Khatri and ended up all-in for more than 500,000.

Vivian Saliba: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Bhavin Khatri: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{j-Clubs} board failed to improve Saliba and she headed to the payout desk.

Tsui Eliminated by Luk

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Man Luk had jammed twice to boost his stack past 200,000 and as a result, he had Justin Tsui covered by a few big blinds when the two shorter stacks went at it.

Justin Tsui: {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Man Luk: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}

The {j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop gave Luk top pair and he retained the lead on the {k-Diamonds} turn and {4-Diamonds} river to eliminate Tsui in 25th place.

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Down to his last 98,000, Guillaume Chiron moved all in from late position and was called by Valdir Cordeiro dos Santos in the big blind.

Guillaume Chiron: {j-Spades}{8-Spades}
Valdir Cordeiro dos Santos: {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}

Ace-high remained supreme on a {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts} run out and that spelled the end for Chiron in 24th place.

The field was on the verge of losing yet another player in quick succession but the {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{4-Diamonds} board came to the rescue for Louis and Khatri bumped fists with him.
