Dos Santos Destroys Aledmir
Andre Dos Santos won a battle of the short stacks against Koray Aledmir and now has over 100,000 chips
Koray Aledmir open-shoved for 38,200 from under the gun and although he queried how much it was to call Joe Ebanks folded. Bryan Piciolli followed suit before Dos Santos re-shoved for 57,400 in total. Next to act was Koen De Visscher and asked for counts of both stacks but came to the conclusion he was not receiving the proper odds and his holecards hit the muck and when the remaining players folded the cards of the all-in players were revealed.
Aledmir: 
Dos Santos: 
The 
flop kept Dos Santos' queens in front and the 
turn changed nothing at all. The river was the 
, completing the hand and eliminating Aledmir.

Stelmak Eliminates Two Players in One Hand, Almost
Peter Jepsen was eliminated and Kevin Vandesrmissen was all but eliminated in a three-way pre flop showdown.
Dmitry Stelmak was the villain in this piece. The Russian opened to 6,000 from mid position and watched as Jepsen shoved for 30,800 from the hijack and Vandersmissen shoved for 87,200 from the button. Stelmak tanked for a few minutes and made the call all-in. Before Stelmak opened his hand Vandermissen said, "You should've folded jacks!"
Showdown:
Stelmak: 
Jepsen: 
Vandersmissen: 
The board ran 
to hand the pot Stelmak.
After a count down Vandermissen had 1,100 chips left. They went it the next hand and it was Stelmak that fisnished him off.

Hicks Four-Bets From The Blinds
The action folded around to Joe Ebanks in late position and he opened the betting with a raise to 6,500. One player folded and Senal Egziabher made it 15,000 to play from the hijack. The button and small blind folded an after Kenny Hicks double checked Ebanks' stack he four-bet to 31,600.
Ebanks instantly got out of the way, as did Egziabher albeit after 20 seconds of deliberation.

David Vamplew Off To A Good Start At His New Table
David Vamplew has just been moved to a less than idea seat, to the direct right of Joe Ebanks and two to the right of Bryan Piccioli but he seems to have got off to a good start.
That good start was helped by the addition of some chips from Andreas Vlachos. They duo shared a flop reading , Vlachos checked from the small blind and Vamplew checked in the big blind. The turn brought the into play and Vlachos bet 7,400 into the young Scot only to see him raise it up to 19,100. Vlachos re-checked his cards, rubbed his mouth then flicked his cards towards the muck.

Calvin Ander-gone
Anton Wigg has taken care of Calvin Anderson is a cold hand less than 20 shy of the money.
Being the secondary feature table, the cameras were on Andersen as he opened from early position. Another player three-bet before Wigg put in a four-bet. Andersen five-bet shoved and Wigg made a quick call after the third party folded.
Anderson:
Wigg: 
The board ran out 
. Wigg seemed genuinely sorry for busting out Anderson and the two embraced.
