Mark "AceSpades11" Radoja Eliminated in 3rd Place ($52,240 + $10,000)

Level 22 : 30,000/60,000, 7,500 ante

Before the break, Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi opened to 128,400 on the button and Mark "AceSpades11" Radoja three-bet to 474,000 in the small blind. Mike "SirWatts" Watson folded, Shakerchi jammed, and Radoja called off his 2,030,584 remaining chips.

Mark "AceSpades11" Radoja: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

It was a classic race and the {j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop kept Shakerchi ahead but gave Radoja two more queen outs for Broadway. The {10-Hearts} turn took away those outs as they would give Shakerchi a full house, and the {6-Clubs} completed the board to keep the ladies in front and send Radoja out in third place.

Heads-up play now begins with Shakerchi starting with the chip lead over Watson, but the trophy is up for grabs for either of them.

Eelis "EEE27" Pärssinen Eliminated in 4th Place ($39,127 + $15,625)

Level 22 : 30,000/60,000, 7,500 ante

Eelis "EEE27" Pärssinen opened to 129,000 in the cutoff and Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi three-bet to 510,000 in the big blind. Pärssinen then shoved for 2,426,046 and Shakerchi called.

Eelis "EEE27" Pärssinen: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Pärssinen was in rough shape against the ladies and found no help on the {k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop. The {q-Diamonds} turn meant it was all over as Shakerchi made a set, and the meaningless {a-Spades} sent Pärssinen to the rail and made Shakerchi the chip leader.

Level 21 : 25,000/50,000, 6,000 ante

"v0I<u": {a-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

"v0I<u" was dominated and was still behind on the {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop. The {q-Spades} turn meant he was drawing dead to the {5-Clubs} river, as Shakerchi took the big bounty and chipped up.

Level 21 : 25,000/50,000, 6,000 ante

Mike "SirWatts" Watson opened to 110,000 from the hijack, Eelis "EEE27" Pärssinen called on the button, and Samuel "€urop€an" Vousden moved all-in for 1,638,801 from the big blind. Watson reraised and Pärssinen folded.

Samuel "€urop€an" Vousden: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Mike "SirWatts" Watson: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}

Vousden ran into rockets and was looking for a ten. The {8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Spades} changed nothing, and neither did the {q-Clubs} turn. The {3-Clubs} completed the board to confirm Vousden's elimination as Watson extended his chip lead.

Conor "1_conor_b_1" Beresford Eliminated in 7th Place ($16,441 + $13,750)

Level 21 : 25,000/50,000, 6,000 ante

Eelis "EEE27" Pärssinen opened to 107,500 in the hijack and Conor "1_conor_b_1" Beresford three-bet to 374,750 from the small blind. Pärssinen then jammed for 1,756,787 and Beresford called.

Eelis "EEE27" Pärssinen: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Conor "1_conor_b_1" Beresford: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Pärssinen was well ahead and the board ran out {k-Hearts}{5-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{6-Spades} to confirm the double for Pärssinen and leave Beresford with short stack.

A few hands later, Beresford jammed in his remaining 164,089 chips from the hijack. Samuel "€urop€an" Vousden re-jammed for 630,356 from the cutoff, and "v0I<u" re-jammed on the button. The blinds folded and hands were revealed.

Conor "1_conor_b_1" Beresford: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Samuel "€urop€an" Vousden: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
"v0I<u": {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}

All players had a pocket pair but it was Beresford with the best of it. The {j-Spades}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs} kept the ladies out in front, but the {10-Clubs} hit the turn to vault Vousden into the lead. The {6-Hearts} completed the board to send the pot and bounty to Vousden, as Beresford was eliminated in seventh.

Conor "1_conor_b_1" Beresford: {7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

The board ran out {k-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{9-Spades} to confirm the double for Greenwood.

A few hands later, Greenwood opened to 100,000 from middle position and Mike "SirWatts" Watson defended the big blind.

Sam "Str8$$$Homey" Greenwood: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Mike "SirWatts" Watson: {j-Spades}{9-Hearts}
