Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Ariel Sebban opened to 1,000 from middle positon and was called by Nicolas Vayssieres and Laszlo Molnar from the cutoff and the button. Fatih Aydin and Frits de Boer also called from the blinds.
So, it was five-ways to the 
flop and action checked through to the 
turn. De Boer led out for 2,400 which folded out Sebban. Vayssieres called and then Molnar made it 9,200. Aydin quickly folded and De Boer followed suit but Vayssieres called again.
The 
river completed the board and Vayssiers led out for 10,100. Molnar toyed with his stack before calling.
Vayssieres tabled his 
for the nut flush and Molnar mucked.

The board ran out 
and Kamphues held on with aces to send Drake to the rail as Level 4 nears its end.

: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
There was around 35,000 in the pot on the 
completed board, with Tamer Kamel and Bruno Lopes heads-up on the river.
Kamel jammed for around 20,000 from under the gun and Lopes, who had around 15,000, snap-called for his tournament life.
"Wow," exclaimed Lopes as he saw Kamel's 
, which was good for a full house, tens full of jacks.
Lopes had nines full of tens, as he turned over his 
before exiting the Main Event in dramatic fashion.

: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
There was 5,000 in the pot on the 
flop, with four players active. Yann Brosolo and Mats Ullereng checked from under the gun and the hijack, respectively. Stylianos Kollatos bet 4,000 from the cutoff and was only called by Terry Jordon, who was on his direct left.
Kollatos fired for 15,000 on the 
turn and Jordan quickly called. The 
completed the board and Kollatos continued for another 10,000. Jordon was surprised by the bet but he eventually folded.

The all-in triangle was in front of Grzegorz Kozieja, who was at risk of elimination. He had jammed for 20,200 from middle position after Bogdan Munteanu had bet 5,500 on the 
flop from the big blind. Munteanu wasn't thrilled about the spot but called anyway.
Grzegorz Kozieja:
Bogdan Munteanu: 
Surprisingly both players had jack-high, but Kozieja was the slight favorite as he had an open-ended straight flush draw. Munteanu was behind, but had a double-gutter to the straight himself.
The turn completed the bigger stacks straight and had Kozieja on the verge of busting out. The 
was of no help to the at risk player and he quickly left the table.

The turn was
