Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Bernie Stang had already committed 11,000 chips in middle position before Stylianos Makariou moved all in from the cutoff and Callum Franciskovic's larger stack was also pushed forward on the button.

Stang took some time before painfully making the fold, showing the table his ace-king. Makariou and Franciskovic then tabled their hands.

Stylianos Makariou: Q♠Q♦ All in
Callum Franciskovic: A♠J♣

Makariou's pocket queens held through the 10♥6♣7♥7♦8♠ runout, earning the double through Franciskovic.

Level 7 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Joshua McSwiney limped in middle position before David McAllister raised to 3,000 in the cutoff. Patrick Yazbeck made the call in the big blind, as did McSwiney.

The J♦10♥9♥ flop brought checks from Yazbeck and McSwiney, with both players calling after McAllister fired 3,500. All three players then checked the Q♠ turn.

Yazbeck took the lead on the J♥ river, sliding out a bet of 13,500. McSwiney and McAllister let their hands go, with Yazbeck showing the 8♥ as he raked in the pot.

Level 7 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

David Sebesfi moved all in from under the gun for his last 12,500 and was at risk when Liet Ung shoved his larger stack in the cutoff. The rest of the table folded and the cards were tabled.

David Sebesfi: A♥J♠ All in
Liet Ung: 8♠8♥

Sebesfi's pocket pair was flipping, and the 9♣10♠7♦ flop brought Ung a straight draw. The J♣ turn completed that draw, with the 5♥ river cementing Sebesfi's elimination.
