Nagy was drawing dead against the full house of Lampropoulos and exited the tournament area as the 6♦ river completed the board.

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

"Phil Ejri" had raised in the cutoff before Daniel Montagnolli three-bet all-in for 350,000 in the small blind. "Phil Ejri" made a quick call and the cards were revealed after the other tables completed their hands.

Daniel Montagnolli: A♥A♦9♥5♣ All in
"Phil Ejri": A♣Q♠10♣6♥

Montagnolli had a solid lead with his aces. However, "Phil Ejri" made trip queens on the 2♠Q♣2♣3♥Q♦ runout to crack Montagnolli's aces and send him to the rail as the last person without a cash to their name.

Dimitrios Amoiridis, under the gun, made a pot-sized bet of 710,000 on a completed board of 8♥7♠4♦6♠J♠. Harun Ertural was his opponent, and he spent some time banks on the button before calling off.

Amoiridis showed A♣K♠Q♠8♠ for a flush and raked in the huge pot when Etural mucked his cards.

Level 16 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

A big pot of 1,250,000 had been built between Dimitrios Amoiridis in the big blind and "Diego Armando" in the cutoff.

Amoiridis checked to "Diego Armando" on a turn of 2♥5♠3♦6♣, who bet 250,000. Amoiridis then swiftly jammed all in and "Diego Armando" called off for his stack of 900,000.

"Diego Armando": A♥5♥5♣3♥ All in
Dimitrios Amoiridis: K♦K♣10♣7♠

Amoiridis had just two outs left in the deck, and one of them came on the K♠ river. "Diego Armando" could not believe what had happened as he remained seated for a little while before standing up to collect his payout.

During the hand, Chris Dowling was eliminated at another table to bring the field down to 15 players across two tables.

Level 16 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

"Pie Sie" limped in from early position. Aaron Pahlawani followed suit in the hijack and Vasil Medarov also came along in the cutoff. "Appie" then three-bet to 260,000, leaving 185,000 back.

"Pie Sie" got out of the way but Pahlawani and Medarov came along to a flop of Q♦6♦J♣. It checked to "Appie", who tossed in his remaining chips. Pahlawani raised to 650,000, after which Medarov three-bet shoved.

Pahlawani spent some time banks before folding what he claimed was a set of jacks with a flush draw.

"Appie": A♠A♥K♥8♦ All in
Vasil Medarov: Q♥Q♣5♦3♣

Medarov made quads on the 2♠Q♠ river to eliminate "Appie" in style. Pahlawanie, meanwhile, breathed a sigh of relief as he had avoided disaster.

Level 17 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

"Phil Ejri" raised to 100,000 in the cutoff. The short-stacked Ka Kwan Lau then three-bet all in for 255,000 before Harun Ertural called in the big blind. "Phil Ejri" also called, and Ertural and "Phil Ejri" checked down the 2♣3♠2♦ flop and 7♦ turn.

The 5♥ river saw Ertural check again, but "Phil Ejri" decided to bet 200,000. Ertural gave it some thought but ultimately decided to fold.

Lau showed down K♠J♠J♣9♥ for jacks and deuces, but it was no good against the A♦10♣6♦4♥ of "Phil Ejri", who had rivered a straight and subsequently eliminated Lau.

Phil Ejri	5,400,000 1,300,000	1,300,000
