Zhang and Lynskey Eliminated

Level 12 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

At almost the same time and on two different tables, Ye Zhang and Alexander Lynskey have been eliminated. Lynskey moved all in from the button for 95,000 with the {Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades} and Thiago Crema called in the big blind with {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and that was it for Lynskey.

Kempe Busts in Three-Way All In

Level 12 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Rainer Kempe shoved from the cutoff for around 11 big blinds and Christoph Vogelsang reraised all in from the button for more than double of that. In the small blind, Daniel Dvoress looked up both with the superior stack and the cards were turned over.

Kempe: {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Vogelsang: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Dvoress: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

The board ran out {6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{9-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and the pair of eights held for Vogelsang, who knocked out Kempe and doubled through Dvoress for 286,000.

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

The cards of Anton Astapau were already in the muck and the board showed {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{9-Spades}. Parker Talbot's stack, who had the {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} showing, was counted and the Canadian doubled up for 128,000.

According to Talbot, he had opened to 22,000 from early position and Astapau three-bet with {8-}{7-}, then jammed the flop when Talbot checked to him. The straight draw didn't complete and Talbot held up.
