Chattha had a pair of sixes, but Liperis flopped two pair to take a big lead as the Q♦ turn left him one card from the trophy.

David Salituro

Level 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

"I'm blind," Brandon Harris said, shoving all in for 2,900,000 in the small blind without looking at his cards but finding no callers.

Harris moved in again the next hand for 2,900,000 and this time was looked up by Yiannis Liperis in the big blind.

Brandon Harris: A♠6♦
Yiannis Liperis: A♥4♠

The flop came 2♥5♣K♥ and Liperis picked up a straight draw. He also got a flush draw on the J♥ turn, and spiked the 4♥ on the river to complete his flush and bust Harris in third place.

David Salituro

Level 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Brandon Harris raised to 160,000 under the gun and Min Ji, still standing up, put in his last 200,000 in the small blind. Yiannis Liperis called, as did Harris.

Liperis bet 125,000 on the 8♠Q♥4♦ flop and Harris called to create a side pot. The turn came the K♣ and Liperis fired out 2,500,000, forcing Harris to lay down J♠7♠.

Liperis turned over Q♣7♥ for top pair and already had Ji's J♠7♠ drawing dead before the 10♦ river, sealing Ji's elimination in fourth place.

David Salituro

Level 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Cosmin Penescu moved all in for 670,000 under the gun as action folded to Brandon Harris in the big blind, who tanked for a moment before calling.

Cosmin Penescu: A♣9♦
Brandon Harris: K♣Q♦

Penescu was ahead with his ace going to the 6♠9♣10♦ flop, which gave him a pair. The 4♦ turn left him one card from a double up, but Harris spiked the K♦ on the river to eliminate Penescu in sixth place.

Carl Shaw Eliminated in 7th Place (£10,430)

David Salituro

Level 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Yiannis Liperis raised to 200,000 on the button, then snap-called when big blind Carl Shaw moved all in for 2,000,000.

Carl Shaw: K♣10♣
Yiannis Liperis: K♥K♦

Shaw had run right into Liperis' kings as the 6♦J♦3♦ flop left him drawing only to running cards. The A♠ turn gave him some hope with a straight draw and he was looking for a queen on the river, but the dealer instead turned over J♠ and Shaw was sent to the rail in seventh place.

David Salituro

Level 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Action folded to Hong Pham in the small blind and she moved her entire stack of 615,000 into the middle. Yiannis Liperis snap-called in the big blind.

Hong Pham: K♦9♣
Yiannis Liperis: J♥J♣

Liperis had woken up with a big pocket pair and Pham was looking for a king to stay alive, but none came on the 3♦2♦3♠Q♥5♠ as Liperis busted another player at the final table to increase his chip lead.

Tuan Le Eliminated in 9th Place (£7,300)

David Salituro

Level 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Tuan Le opened to 125,000 in early position, Yiannis Liperis three-bet to 350,000 on the button, and Le called.

The flop came 5♣6♣Q♥ and Liperis continued for 275,000. Le then raised to 800,000 and Liperis called to the 5♠ turn.

Le then moved all in for 1,700,000 and Liperis snap-called, creating a nearly 6,000,000-chip pot between the players who began the hand first and second on the leaderboard.

Le showed A♠Q♣ for two pair, but Liperis had K♦5♦ and had spiked trips on the turn. Le was down to just two outs heading to the river, but no miracles arrived on the 6♥ and Le's tournament came to a crashing end.

David Salituro

Level 27 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Fabian Donovan raised to 100,000 on the button before Tuan Le moved all in from the big blind. "Make or break time. Let's do it," Donovan said, calling for his last 1,275,000.

Fabian Donovan: 8♦8♥
Tuan Le: A♠K♥

Donovan was racing with a spot at the final table on the line, but the 9♥A♣3♣ flop was disastrous as Le made top pair.

The board ran out J♥10♦ and Donovan was sent to the rail in 10th place. The remaining nine players are now drawing for seats at the final table, after which they will take a 20-minute break.

David Salituro

Level 27 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Yiannis Liperis shoved a tower of chips in the middle from the button as action folded to big blind Shapiur Rahman, who used up his entire 30-second clock before calling for his last 950,000.

Shapiur Rahman: 4♥4♦
Yiannis Liperis: A♣8♠

Rahman was racing for his tournament life, but he saw the 7♦A♥K♣ come on the flop and Liperis jump in front with a pair of aces.

The board ran out 8♣Q♥ and Liperis finished with two pair to eliminate Rahman in 11th place.
