Daniel Myers Eliminated in 21st Place (£2,600)

David Salituro

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Daniel Myers moved all in for 141,000 from the big blind on a board of 9♦6♣A♠5♠ and Shan Jiang called on the button.

Myers showed 9♠8♠ for straight and flush draws, while Jiang had K♥K♦. Myers missed all of his outs on the 10♦ river and was eliminated in 21st place.

At the same time at another table, Bryan Taylor was all in for 350,000 from the cutoff and up against Terence Etim.

Bryan Taylor: K♠Q♥ All in
Terence Etim: 10♥10♣

"Deuce," Taylor yelled out as the flop came 2♦2♠2♥, opening the possibility of counterfeiting Etim's pair. Taylor didn't get a deuce, but he did spike a K♣ on the turn to make a full house and Etim couldn't connect with the 6♣ river as he handed over most of his chips right before break.

"GK" raised to 50,000 in the hijack and Andrew Mackenzie moved all in for 625,000 in the cutoff. Daniel Johnson reshoved on the button and "GK" got out of the way.

Andrew Mackenzie: A♠J♥ All in
Daniel Johnson: K♠K♦

Mackenzie was looking for an ace as Johnson woke up with kings, but he found no help on the J♦7♦4♦10♠3♠ board and was eliminated in 20th place.

Level 24 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Bogdan Pop moved all in for 300,000 in the small blind and Michael Broadhurst put him at risk on the button.

Bogdan Pop: A♣6♣ All in
Michael Broadhurst: A♦J♣

The 5♣K♦K♠ flop left open the possibility of Pop again surviving with a chop, but there would be no miracles this time as the board ran out 3♦Q♣ to send him to the rail.

"GK" moved all in for 425,000 in the big blind and Glen Gaines called in the hijack.

"GK": K♦Q♣ All in
Glen Gaines: 9♦9♣

The J♦10♦8♠ flop gave "GK" a straight draw, but it was Gaines who made a straight on the Q♦ turn. The river was the 4♦ and "GK" improved to a flush to win the pot and double up.

Terence Etim: Q♣J♥ All in
"GK": A♦10♦

Etim needed to improve to stay alive, but he couldn't connect with the K♦7♥4♥4♣8♥ board as "GK" took the pot with ace-high to send Etim to the rail.

Level 24 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Junxian Du moved all in for 270,000 in the cutoff and Maogen Fu called in the small blind.

Junxian Du: K♠7♣ All in
Maogen Fu: 7♠7♦

Du needed a king to survive against Fu's pair as the flop came Q♠9♣3♣. The Q♥ turn gave him outs to counterfeit Fu, but he missed the 8♥ river and was eliminated in 17th place.

The remaining 16 players are drawing for seats at the final two tables.

David Salituro

Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Martin Byrne raised to 50,000 on the button and Maogen Fu three-bet to 150,000. Byrne then four-bet to 325,000, Fu moved all in, and Byrne snap-called for 800,000.

Martin Byrne: A♦A♣ All in
Maogen Fu: Q♣Q♥

Byrne had woken up with aces and was poised to win the massive pot, but the 10♥6♥7♥ flop meant he had to dodge a flush draw. The J♠ turn was safe, while the river was the 2♦ and Byrne doubled up into the chip lead.
