Robert Bull opened 15,000 in the hijack, and the cutoff called before Roberto Musu shoved his 36,000 from the big blind. Bull announced all-in as well, forcing the cutoff to muck his hand.

Roberto Musu: A♦Q♦
Robert Bull: A♠10♣

The flop came 10♠7♣6♦, pairing Bull's ten and the 5♣ turn and 5♦ river meant Musu was eliminated from the tournament.

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

With over 400,000 chips in the middle, both Razvan Sabau who was all-in, and Georgios Zachmanidis patiently waited for the floor to say they could open their cards. Eventually, they were given the go-ahead.

Razvan Sabau: A♥J♦
Georgios Zachmanidis: K♥J♣

Sabau had Zachmanidis dominated, but unfortunately for him the K♠3♥3♠ flop hit Zachmanidis' only live card and Sabau couldn't find an ace as the dealer completed the board with the 2♠ turn, and 2♥ river.

Straight Flush vs Nut Flush On Stone Bubble, No One Busts

Ollie Garland

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Two players were looking at a full board that read J♠8♠7♠A♦6♦.

The action was caught as Nikolaos Iliakis, in middle position, was facing a bet of 80,000 from Juan Carlos Vecino, in the hijack. Iliakis thought for some time, explaining out loud as he did so. Given it was the stone bubble and "anything is possible", Iliakis decided to just flat call the bet, leaving himself 60,000 behind.

Vecino tabled 10♠9♠ for a flopped straight flush, while Iliakis showed A♠Q♠ for a flopped nut flush. Much to the whole tournament floor's amazement, Iliakis' flat call saved him from being the stone bubble.

Player	Chips	Progress
Juan Carlos Vecino	365,000 125,000	125,000
Nikolaos Iliakis	60,000 140,000	140,000

Level 17 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Rory Jennings was seen all-in with just two players to go for the min-cash, and it was Adrian Strobel looking for the knockout.

Rory Jennings: A♥A♦
Adrian Strobel: 5♥5♠

Jennings had the best possible hand, but the J♦8♣5♦ flop gave Strobel a set and left Jennings drawing thin. The 4♣ turn and 9♠ river were no help as he stood up from the table.

Patrick Cole

Level 17 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Vladimir Troyanovskiy opened to 10,000 from under the gun and was called by Adam Martinsson in early position and Alexandru Danes in the highjack.

After tanking for a minute, Nicklas Krohn Dehli on the button reraised to 75,000, leaving 6,000 behind.

Action folded back around to Danes who called and tabled his hand, not aware that Dehli wasn't all in. He flipped his cards back over as hand for hand play was in effect.

When play resumed, Danes bet 10,000 on the flop of 10♦Q♦8♦. Dehli made a quick call and tabled J♦J♥ and Danes showed 9♠9♥.

Dehli's jacks held through the 10♠ turn and on the 7♠ river to gain a full double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Adam Martinsson	300,000 1,000	1,000
Alexandru Danes	280,000 95,000	95,000
