"justholdplz" Doesn't Hold

Level 22 : 17,500/35,000, 4,500 ante
justholdplz eliminated by vladxxxro
justholdplz eliminated by vladxxxro

Within quick succession, the field was reduced to the final 167 contenders and another table broke once "justholdplz" was sent to the rail.

With their apt nickname, they needed to hold with the {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} out of the big blind when facing "vladxxxro" in the small blind with the {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}. However, the Romanian made trips jacks on a board of {j-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{7-Hearts} to score another knockout close to the money bubble.

Maximum Pressure Near the Bubble

Level 22 : 17,500/35,000, 4,500 ante

With 799,600 in the middle, the two Swedish players Jerry "Perrymejsen" Odeen in the big blind and "WhatIfGod" had reached the {j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{q-Diamonds} river and Odeen checked. "WhatIfGod" moved all in with the covering stack and Odeen reluctantly folded.

At the same time on another table, Will "hellzito" Arruda opened to 70,000 and was called by Pascal "Päffchen" Hartmann on the button. The {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop brought a continuation bet for 110,000 and a call. On the {k-Diamonds} turn, Arruda bet 153,000, Hartmann raised to 516,225 and Arruda's reraise to 879,450 was called by Hartmann.

The {9-Clubs} fell on the river and a shove by Arruda forced a fold from Hartmann.

On a {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop, Ignat check-folded to a bet and the three-way all-in kicked off.

Lijo eliminated by Hollink
Lijo eliminated by Hollink

The last player to bust prior to the scheduled five-minute break was Lander "tua133" Lijo and he has a bad beat story to tell.

Lijo was at risk with the {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades} and Rob "batoelrob" Hollink looked him up out of the big blind with the {a-Spades}{8-Spades}.

The board ran out {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{9-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Hollink paired his ace.

Right after, the remaining 160 players went on the break and will return to hand-for-hand play on the money bubble.

"RokiRo3" and "Bashov" Up on the Bubble

Level 22 : 17,500/35,000, 4,500 ante

Three ways to the limped {q-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop, "vladxxxro" in under the gun check-called a bet of 43,050 by "RokiRo3" and did so again for 175,000 on the {6-Clubs} turn. On the {3-Diamonds} river, "vladxxxro" check-called another 490,000 and mucked when "RokiRo3" tabled {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for two pair.

At the same time, "Bashov" and Gleb "Ti0373" Tremzin played out a pot of more than 2.9 million to the {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{a-Spades} river. Eventually they checked the final community card and Tremzin tabled {k-Spades}{j-Spades} for a missed gutshot, which "Bashov" had beat with the {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}.

Aerts Busts "shipittohk"

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Canada's "shipittohk" had survived the money bubble among the shortest stacks and was all-in soon after with the {q-Clubs}{9-Spades}, facing the {k-Spades}{2-Diamonds} of Pieter "XMorphineX" Aerts in the small blind. On a board of {a-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades}{q-Hearts}{k-Hearts}, the queen on the turn was not enough as Aerts rivered the superior two pair.
