Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Konstantinos Vatseris shoved for 860,000 on the button and was at risk after Florin Elisei called in the big blind.

Konstantinos Vatseris: Q♣8♦ All in
Florin Elisei: A♠9♥

Elisei found a pair on the 9♠10♠5♦ flop before hitting a second pair on the A♣ turn. That left Vatseris drawing to a straight, but the 10♥ was a brick to end his run in sixth place.

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Alexandru Brumaru moved all in for 400,000 from under the gun before Andrei Miron called in the small blind. Florin Elisei also made the call in the big blind, leaving Brumaru at risk against two opponents.

The flop of 5♥4♣3♣ saw Miron and Elisei check, with the action repeating on the 8♣ turn.

Miron checked again on the 2♦ river, folding once Elisei slid out a bet of 500,000. The hands were turned up and Brumaru saw the bad news.

Brumaru's 3♠3♥ had flopped a set, but the river produced a straight for Elisei holding A♠J♠ to score the knockout. Brumaru headed off the feature stage after a ninth-place finish.
