Felix Schneiders raised it in the cutoff, with only Lurii Senchylo opting to call in the small blind.

The Ukrainian checked the 2♥8♣7♥, and pondered calling Schneiders' 6,500 flop bet, but ultimately folded, giving the PokerStars Pro some much-needed chips to add to his stack.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

With players heads up on a board reading J♠5♦4♥ and around 10,000 already in the middle, Jack Salter check-called a 6,000 bet from Alexandre Reard.

The turn came the 3♠. Salter checked, Reard bet 17,000 and Salter put in a check-raise to 41,000. Reard made the call.

The river came the J♥. After about one minute of thought, Salter pushed forward a stack of green 5,000 chips, enough to put Reard all in for his remaining stack of approximately 90,000.

Reard, who had forced a fold from Salter in another big pot during the previous level, was clearly faced with a difficult decision. After just over two minutes, he folded A♠2♠ face up and Salter took down a sizable pot from the French pro.

"It was a good fold," Salter told his opponent as he dragged the pot.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Alex Keating was in a heads-up pot against Bernat Carreras and faced a decision for his tournament life on a board of 2♦4♣8♣J♦.

With around 75,000 already in the pot, Carreras bet a stack of 5,000 chips to put Keating all in for his final 60,000 or so.

"My ace-high might be good. It would be crazy," Keating said. "You're about to have a lot of chips after this hand."

Someone at the table called the clock and Keating eventually called as his 30 seconds wound down. "Don't report this," Keating told PokerNews.

Alex Keating: A♦K♣
Bernat Carreras: 9♥9♣

Carreras was ahead with a pair of nines but Keating had overcard outs before the 8♠ bricked off on the river to mark the American's elimination.
