Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Jack Hardcastle in the small blind and Arthur Conan in the big blind both revealed their cards preflop, with Hardcastle being at risk for 44,000 chips.

Jack Hardcastle: A♣2♠
Arthur Conan: A♠8♠

"Deuce never lose," said a player at the table to support Hardcastle. Unfortunately for him, he didn't find any Deuce on the flop J♦4♥A♦. "You can split," added another player after the turn 9♠. But the 7♣ came on the river, leading to Hardcastle's loss.

"I can't believe it," he said ironically while smiling before leaving the table.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Ren Lin raised from under the gun and Antoine Saout reraised to 17,000, which Lin called.

The flop came 5♣7♣6♣. Lin checked and Saout bet 7,500, which Lin called.

The turn was the 2♠. Lin checked and Saout bet out again, this time for 28,000. Lin made the call.

The river was the 8♦. Lin switched it up with a lead for 35,000. Saout then pushed his stack into the middle for a bet of 105,000, leaving just a single 5,000 chip behind. Lin made the call to make it to showdown.

Saout showed K♣K♠ for pocket kings. Lin showed 8♥7♥ for two pair. He won the pot and chipped up to close to 500,000. Saout got his 5,000 in the middle a couple of hands later and busted the tournament.

Javey Timmer raised 6,000 in the hijack and called the three-bet of 22,000 from Guillaume Nolet from the big blind.

When the 8♣7♣5♠ flop hit the felt, Nolet continued for 24,000. Timmer responded with a raise to 60,000 and Nolet jammed for about 145,000. Timmer snap-called.

Guillaume Nolet: 10♥10♣
Javey Timmer: 8♦7♦

Nolet had an overpair but was behind as Timmer flopped two pair. The 4♠ turn and Q♣ river were no help for Nolet as he exited the tournament.
