"buttonclickr" and Mattsson Next to Fall

Level 28 : 45,000/90,000, 11,250 ante
buttonclickr eliminated
buttonclickr eliminated

Soon after the final eight tables were reached, Finland's "buttonclickr" took a flip with the {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} in a pot of nearly 4 million. They faced "DingeBrinker" with the {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} and the Estonian got there on a board of {a-Spades}{9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{2-Clubs}.

An even bigger pot emerged when Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson limped the small blind and "TTWIST" shoved for 11,545,250 in the big blind. Mattsson called it off for more than 3.2 million and they were off to the races.

Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
"TTWIST": {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}

Plenty of broadway cards showed up on the {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Spades} board, however, Mattsson found no help and departed in 63rd place.

Another Three On the Rail

Level 28 : 45,000/90,000, 11,250 ante

Germany's "chininhaltig" had to settle for 62nd place and they were followed to the rail by Dante "dantegoyaF" Goya and "Janiizzl".

Goya open-shoved a shorter stack with the {a-Spades}{8-Clubs} and was dominated by the {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} of "TheDegenFund" on the button. The kicker problem left Goya drawing dead on the turn of a {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} board.

Last but not least, "Janiizzl" ran out of chips when their severe short stack with the {10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} in the small blind picked up no help. David "EzPaTuLa" Cabrera called with the {q-Spades}{6-Clubs} in the big blind and queen-high was good on a {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}{4-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} board.

Aerts eliminated by Czuczur
Aerts eliminated by Czuczur

A short-stacked Pieter "XMorphineX" Aerts three-bet jammed for the last 1,201,636 and was called instantly by initial raiser Marton "noirduck" Czuczor.

Pieter "XMorphineX" Aerts: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Marton "noirduck" Czuczor: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}

Aerts found some help on the {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop but it was not enough as the {5-Clubs} turn and {2-Diamonds} river followed.

The UK's "Grazza" had raised to 190,000 and continued for the same amount on the {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop. Liviu "0Human0" Ignat check-called once and bet the {j-Hearts} turn for 350,100, then called the shove of his opponent.

"Grazza": {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Liviu "0Human0" Ignat: {q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The {7-Hearts} river completed the runner runner flush and "Grazza" was gone next.

Kanit Leaves Colillas Short

Level 28 : 45,000/90,000, 11,250 ante

Mustapha "lasagnaaammm" Kanit made it 194,400 to go and was called by Ramon "RamonColillas" Colillas in the big blind, who had dropped to just over 2.1 million since the start of the day.

Colillas led the {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop for 157,140 and picked up a call by Kanit to then check-call the {10-Spades} turn for 328,421. Colillas check-called another 478,384 by Kanit on the {6-Hearts} river and mucked when the Italian turned over {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}.

"TTWIST" Loses Huge Pot to "tikidiii"

Level 28 : 45,000/90,000, 11,250 ante
TTWIST vs tikidiii
TTWIST vs tikidiii

Canada's "TTWIST" had been playing large pots preflop and it all came crashing down in a big pot prior to the break when "tikidiii" flat-called a raise to 198,000 by Fabio "hdjgkfkgsdl" Sperling. "TTWIST" three-bet to 634,021 in the big blind and "tikidiii" was the only caller.

A first bet worth 528,344 by "TTWIST" on the {q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop was called and they fired another 1,200,111 on the {8-Clubs} turn, which was called once more.

"TTWIST" jammed the {4-Clubs} river for an effective 7,586,804 and received the call to turn over {a-Spades}{8-Spades} for fours full of eights, which "tikidiii" had beat with the {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}.

The UK's "StupidFr3nch" check-called all-in for 1,125,652 out of the big blind on a flop of {9-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs} with 495,000 in the middle when Rodrigo "seijistar" Seiji jammed the button.

Seiji was trailing with {10-Spades}{8-Spades} versus {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs} but nailed the {7-Diamonds} turn, the {7-Hearts} river was a blank.

"23noraB" defended the big blind with a shorter stack and check-called three barrels by Toby "sadface11" Joyce on a board of {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{9-Spades} to reveal {a-Hearts}{4-Spades} for aces and fours. However, Joyce had the {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} for a set and scored the knockout.

"Sjaaakiii" then bowed out shortly after and that reduced the field to the final 53 contenders.
