Julien Sitbon moved all in under the gun for his last 120,000 and Siarhei Chudapal made the call on the button to create the following showdown:

Julien Sitbon: {a-Spades}{3-Clubs}
Siarhei Chudapal: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

Sitbon has some hopes but found no help on a board {2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}{k-Spades}{5-Clubs} and had to make his way to the cashier.

Double Elimination for Davies; Bedell's Aces Cracked

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Tom-Aksel Bedell
Tom-Aksel Bedell

Tom-Aksell Bedell has spent the last several levels blinding out until he was all in automatically for 13,000 from the big blind.

Seth Davies limped and Murad Akhundov then three-bet all in. Davies called putting two players at risk.

Davies showed {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} while Akhundov showed {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. Bedell made a big show of revealing his cards one at a time; firsrt the {a-Clubs} and then the {a-Spades}! He had woken up with aces.

The flop {2-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades} was looking good for Bedell, but the {10-Hearts} turn on the river turned the tables and the {k-Clubs} sealed the double elimination with Davies moving up to 1,200,000.

Farrell Cracks Aces AND Kings; Eliminates Diaz

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Niall Farrell Jack Sinclair
Niall Farrell Jack Sinclair

There was a three-way all in between Guillaume Diaz, Ivan Luca and Niall Farrell with Luca the big stack and Diaz the short stack.

Niall Farrell: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Ivan Luca: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Guillaume Diaz: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}

Diaz was in a good spot to triple up, but the {5-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop gave Farrell a flush draw. The turn {10-Clubs} gave him even more outs, with any king completing his straight.

The river {4-Diamonds} completed his flush, however, eliminating Diaz and doubling through Luca.

"It's alright guys," he said, "I'm back to being the best in the world again."

"One day I'll get you," said Diaz as he left the table.

"I'm so fucking lucky!" said Farrell in response.

Lucky River for Nevded

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

The action began with Michael Soyza raising to 35,000. The small blind player called and so did Johnny Nedved in big blind.

The flop appeared {7-Spades}{4-Clubs}{10-Spades} and Nedved bet 45,000 after the small blind checked. Only Soyza called.

Things heated on the turn {2-Hearts}. Nedved bet 53,000 and Soyza raised it to 200,000. Nedved pushed all in and it was snap-called by Soyza. Holding {10-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}, Nedved was in bad shape against Soyza with {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for the best kicker but a {j-Hearts} came on the river, giving Nedved two pair.
