Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Chang Tan raised to 50,000 in the cutoff and Paul Minzariu three-bet to 130,000 on the button. Tan took a minute before moving all in for 560,000 and Minzariu snap-called.

Chang Tan: K♥Q♠ All in
Paul Minzariu: A♥Q♥

Tan was dominated going to the flop, which came 6♣3♣8♠. The A♠ turn left him drawing dead, and the Day 1 chip leader was sent to the rail once the Q♣ completed the board on the river.

With 24 players remaining, a table is being broken and updates are going on a 30-minute delay to match the dstream.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Bernat Carreras raised to 50,000 in early position, Hong Zhu put in his last 85,000 on the button, and Carreras called.

Hong Zhu: 8♠8♣ All in
Bernat Carreras: A♦9♣

Zhu remained ahead through the turn on a board of 6♥5♣6♣7♠ and picked up a straight draw to go with his pair, but Carreras spiked the A♣ on the river as Zhu flung his arms in the air in frustration.

"Well played. Unluckky," tablemate Axat Mawji told him.

"The ace was the only thing," Zhu added on his way to the rail.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Razvan Morar raised to 50,000 in the hijack and Tiago Luis moved all in from the small blind. Morar took a few minutes and burned through several time banks before calling for 440,000.

Razvan Morar: 7♥7♦ All in
Tiago Luis: 10♣10♠

Morar slammed down his sevens, but Luis showed him the bad news when he revealed two tens. The board ran out A♦J♦8♠5♣5♣ and last year's 888poker Live Bucharest champion was eliminated.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Joan Morgo moved all in for 250,000 in the hijack, Alexander Sokolovsky reshoved in the cutoff, and big blind Cipriano Bonet tanked for a moment before folding A♠9♠.

Joan Morgo: 7♥7♦ All in
Alexander Sokolovsky: Q♠Q♥

Sokolovsky had Morgo crushed with his queens and the board ran out 10♥9♥6♠2♠9♦ to send Morgo to the rail.

"You like those nines. You're a dangerous man," Sokolovskky told Bonet, who would've made trips if he called.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Three players went to a flop of 7♦6♣5♠ where Marc Oller moved all in for 350,000 under the gun. Jordi Conejos put in his last 280,000 on the button, while Hector Garcia called to put both players at risk.

Jordi Conejos: A♦A♠ All in
Marc Oller: 10♦10♥ All in
Hector Garcia: 8♦6♦

Conejos remained ahead with his aces going to the turn, which came the J♣. The river was the 9♠ and Garcia improved to a straight to win the pot and send both opponents to the rail.

Sergi Escote, who won the High Roller event earlier this festival, and Filippos Avramidis were also recently eliminated.
