Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Borja Martinez opened to 12,000 from early position and was three-bet to 26,000 by Jari Mahonen in the hijack. Action folded back around to Martinez, who announced he was all in. Mahonen quickly called all in for approximately 130,000 total and hands were revealed.

Jari Mahonen: Q♦Q♥All in
Borja Martinez: A♦K♥

The 2♥5♠A♠ flop paired Martinez's ace and sent Mahonen out of his seat to gather his belongings.

The K♠ turn and K♦ river needlessly improved Martinez to a full house and Mahonen exited the tournament area.

Konakchiev checked to Nadal on the 9♣5♠5♦ flop and he bet 8,000. Konakchiev then check-raised to 30,000, which got a fold from Nadal after a bit of thought.

Tudor Zapsa opened 11,000 in the cutoff and Walid Boudjedra called on the button before Manuel De Sousa did the same from the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of A♦J♣7♠, and once checked to, Zapsa continued for 13,000. Boudjedra snap-mucked, and De Sousa took about 30 seconds before tossing his cards into the muck as well.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jacques Dan opened to 13,000 from early position and Francisco Ruiz shoved for approximately 70,000 from the hijack. Action folded back around to Dan, who tanked for some time before eventually announcing a call to put Ruiz at risk.

Francisco Ruiz: A♦10♣All in
Jacques Dan: 9♠9♥

It was a fair fight, but the Q♦3♠K♠5♥6♦ runout favored Dan's pair of nines to eliminate Ruiz.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Barny Boatman opened 10,000 under the gun and Jose Nadal defended the big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of K♣6♣2♣, and Nadal check-called a bet of 8,000.

When the 2♦ paired the board on the turn, Nadal checked once again and Boatman fired 15,000 across the line. Nadal responded with by splashing 37,500 into the middle. Boatman thought about it for roughly a minute, and decided to surrender the pot.

Sylvester Kubiak opened to 10,000 from the hijack and was three-bet to 25,000 by Valentino Konachiev in the cutoff. Jose Nadal four-bet to 65,000 from the small blind and Kubiak called all in for approximately 50,000 total. Konachiev shoved for 262,500 and Nadal called to put both players at risk.

Sylvester Kubiak: Q♣10♣All in
Valentino Konachiev: K♠K♥All in
Jose Nadal: J♦J♥

Konachiev was well ahead with his cowboys, and the 3♥3♣10♦6♥3♦ runout kept him best to send the monster pot his way and eliminate Kubiak as the Day-2 bubble nears.
