There are fewer than 150 players remaining and the below list contains various casualties of the last half an hour.

Jozonis Scores a Big Double

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Tomas Jozonis
Tomas Jozonis

A preflop raising war in a battle button versus big blind saw Tomas Jozonis open to 6,000 and Gary Miller made it 16,000 to go. Jozonis clicked it back to 36,000 only for Miller to reraise to 80,000. Jozonis moved all in for 149,500 and Miller eventually called after some consideration.

Tomas Jozonis: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Gary Miller: {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The board ran out {8-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Jozonis held up with his kings to more than halve Miller's stack.

Altman Jumps Above Average

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Brian Altman
Brian Altman

After having grinded a short stack in the early levels of the day, Brian Altman has just jumped above the average after scoring a double through Vlad Darie. The latter had opened to 5,500 on the button and Altman three-bet to 19,500 in the big blind. Darie moved all in and Altman called for 84,500.

Brian Altman: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Vlad Darie: {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

The board came {K-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{K-Hearts} and Altman's trip kings won the pot.

Francois Evard check-raised all in after a {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{3-Clubs} turn against Christoph Vogelsang and the latter asked for a count after having bet 15,000. The all in was for 49,000 and Vogelsang sighed "why didn't I check?" before sending his cards into the muck.

Dumont Jumps to Half a Million

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Denis Timofeev left the tournament area and briefly mentioned in Russian to another countryman that he had busted, and his former table showed a massive stack in front of Nicolas Dumont. According to Dumont, he had five-bet shoved with pocket kings into the pocket aces of Timofeev and got there to skyrocket up in the counts.

Soon after, Thomas Lilamand was all in for 23,000 and Dumont called from two seats over with the flop reading {8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}.

Thomas Lilamand: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Nicolas Dumont: {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

The {9-Diamonds} turn and {5-Diamonds} river run out gave Dumont the nut flush and Lilamand exited with a sigh. While that boosted Dumont to half a million, it's still not good enough for the overall lead, Mark Demirdjian still has that beat.

Patel on Fumes

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

After a raise to 6,000, Emil Patel shoved all in for a little over 50,000 in middle position. From the blinds, Ermo Kosk called all in for 44,500 and the raiser folded.

Emil Patel: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}
Ermo Kosk: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

The board ran out {9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Kosk spiked his queen on the turn to survive. Patel, the former star of "2 Months 2 Million", was left with mere crumbs but doubled the hand afterwards to get to 10 big blinds.

Tedeschi No More

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Paul Tedeschi
Paul Tedeschi

Paul Tedeschi, who had won the flip out before the start of Day 2 and earned a Platinum Pass, was lurking in the tournament area. After grinding a short stack for a long time, he was all in with {A-}{9-} against pocket eights and flopped a nine only for an eight to show up on the river.

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

In the break, the feature table has been moved back into the regular playing area. For Juri Mereu, the journey back into the outer field was cut short, as he busted against Mateos straight away. Mereu was holding pocket tens against Mateos' {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}, but a queen on the river ended his Main Event attempt.

Patrik Antonius is the top dog at the table with 220,000, where Josip Simunic and Christophe de Meulder are also seated at.
