Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The flop read {7-Spades}{j-Spades}{q-Clubs} with 21,000 in the middle already.

Jans Arends checked in mid-position and Raman Afanasenka bet 10,000 from the hijack. Arends took a few seconds before making the call.

The turn was the {3-Spades}, Arends checked again and Afanasenka now shoved, having Arends covered. Arends tanked for a while but opted to fold in the end.

Nevanlinna Busts Abatino

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jussi Nevanlinna opened the hijack for 4,500 and small blind Matteo Abatino shoved for 18,000. The big blind folded, Nevanlinna called.

Jussi Nevanlinna: {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Matteo Abatino: {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The {K-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop was a blow to Abatino and he was drawing dead after the {K-Spades} hit the turn. The {4-Diamonds} on the river was there just for good measures and Nevanlinna started stacking.

The player in the under-the-gun position raised to 4,500 and Maxime Chilaud shoved in mid-position for 41,000 in total. Hon Cheong Lee did the same from the hijack with the bigger stack. The initial raiser contemplated for a bit before folding.

Maxime Chilaud: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Hon Cheong Lee: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The flop came {5-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} for Chilaud to hit a pair of kings to take the lead.

The turn was the {10-Clubs} for both of them to pick up a straight draw.

The river completed the board with the {8-Clubs} to keep Chilaud ahead to double up through Lee.

Muskan Sethi Eliminated

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Muskan Sethi
Muskan Sethi

Evangelos Bechrakis opened the action with a raise to 4,500 from middle position. It folded to Muskan Sethi in the small blind who committed her last 37,000 by shoving all in. The big blind folded and Bechrakis, though not overly excited, called right away.

Muskan Sethi: {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Evangelos Bechrakis: {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The flop brought {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts} pairing Bechrakis twice. The {J-Hearts} on the turn brought Sethi some fresh outs but the {4-Clubs} on the river wasn't one of the cards she was looking for.

Fatima Moreira de Melo Eliminated

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Fatima Moreira de Melo
Fatima Moreira de Melo

With Muskan Sethi eliminated not too long ago, Fatima Moreira de Melo was Team PokerStars Pro's last hope. Well, those hopes are now squashed as she too has hit the rail.

Moreira de Melo told us how she opened the hijack to 4,500 holding {J-}{J-}. The player in the cutoff three-bet to 15,500 and the button and both blinds gave up. Moreira de Melo shoved for around 60,000 or so and the cutoff called.

The cutoff showed {A-}{Q-} and hit a queen right on the flop. Moreira de Melo received no help on the turn or river and packed her things and made her exit.
