Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 300 ante
Salvatore Bonavena has hit the rail. He picked up big slick and moved in over the top of a Salman Behbehani raise for 68k total. Not that Behbehani asked for a countdown - he instacalled and flipped over 
at the same second.
Bonavena shrugged, knowing his 
was likely to be his last hand. Some perverse table mates called for 'ten of hearts' when the flop came 
, but instead they got 
.
Behbehani is up to 270,000.
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 300 ante
Ilya Gorodetskiy raised and faced a shove from the gentleman to his left, across the dealer. It folded back around to Gorodetskiy who made the call, and they were on their backs.
Gorodetskiy: 
Gentleman Opponent: 
Board: a very exciting 
Gorodetskiy's opponent couldn't find his flush on the turn or river and Gorodetskiy's set of tens was good to take the pot. He's at over 190,000 now and looking good for a second consecutive deep run in this tournament.

A short-stacked Matt Affleck has been knocked out after he pushed with 
from the button and got called by the small blind's dominating 
. The TV crew scrambled in with the cameras to catch what became Affleck's last appearance in this tournament after the board came down 
but the boom microphone followed the youngster around for a little longer as he tried to escape the maze of chairs and tables.

Arnaud Mattern has been eliminated by compatriot Hugo Lemaire after the Frenchman Team PokerStars Pro raised to 8,500 then called all-in when Lemaire put him to the test with

The board read 
when we got there and the player out of position had bet out 25,000. On the button, Salman Behbehani was tanking. After a little while he made the call.
They saw a river which brought in any potential flushes out there, and the out-of-position player asked how much Behbehani had behind. Behbehani would only tell him that he'd had 130,000 at the start of the hand, but he would soon find out exactly how much he had left - Out-Of-Position checked, and Behbenhani shoved for what the dealer counted at 93,500. The young gent tanked for some time but ultimately folded, and Behbehani, who'd taken a serious hit, is back up to around 175,000.
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 300 ante
He probably thought that this was a great chance for a double up to over 200,000, but William Ross was about to get a shock, and a boot out the door. He'd three-bet a relatively new player to the table Giuseppe Pantaleo (16,000 over 6,300) and there was a pause while this was considered. Active and with just over 100,000 chips, a decision formed in Player Two's mind to get rid of Ross. He moved all in, covering him. Ross immediately called and showed . His opponent could only table 
.
Flop: 
Turn: 
River:
With barely a nod and a cold expression, Ross headed off, shaking Kristijonas Andrulis' hand (the neighbours seemed to have a mutual respect). The usual response to having beaten aces with nine-high commenced.
"It was three-bet, four-bet all the time. I thought he was pushing me as I was new to the table." Pantaleo stacked his 300,000+.

There was perhaps 30,000 or 40,000 in the pot and a flop reading 
on the felt by the time we arrived at Jan Heitmann's table; the German Team PokerStars Pro had bet 25,000 and faced a shove for another 40,000 from Vegard Vestvik. Heitmann tanked up for some minutes, occasionally apologizing to the table for how long he was taking over his decision. Eventually he called, and he was soon ruing the decision as he dropped back below 90,000. Vestvik doubled to 160,000.
