Adrian Vinuela opened on the button and Betanzos Guerrero shoved for his last 35,000 from the small bind. Vinuela quickly called to put Guerrero at risk and hands were revealed.

Betanzos Guerrero: A♥5♠ All in
Adrian Vinuela: A♣10♥

Guerrero found himself dominated and in need of help, but the J♠6♣9♦7♥6♠ runout kept Vinuela best with his ten kicker and Guerrero was sent to the rail.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The action was unclear, but when PokerNews arrived at the table, Thomas Haverstad was all in for about 60,000 and Artyom Smbatyan had called, putting Haverstad at risk of elimination.

Thomas Haverstad: A♣Q♠ All in
Artyom Smbatyan: A♥K♣

The flop of 4♦K♦5♥ gave Smbatyan a pair of kings and meant Haverstad needed running cards to stay alive. The 6♦ on the turn left him drawing dead. An inconsequential K♥ hit the river, improving Smbatyan to trips and eliminating Haverstad from the tournament.

Gil Siebenaler: A♦A♣ All in
Mattheus Veerman: K♠Q♠

Siebenaler's aces remained ahead following the A♥Q♣8♣ flop and the J♣ turn. Veerman was drawing to Broadway but the 8♥ river filled up the at-risk player and Siebenaler collected a much needed double up.

Ladislao Dalfo opened 4,500 in early position and received calls from Philippe Le Touche and Alf-Inge Olsen before Raviteja Obili jammed 31,500 on the button. All three players stuck around with a call.

When the 9♣9♥6♥ flop hit the felt, Dalfo led for 20,500. Both Le Touche and Olsen made the call.

The 3♠ fell on the turn and Dalfo continued for 30,000. Le Touche took a few seconds while piling up a raise of 80,000 and sliding it across the line. Olsen and Dalfo both tossed their cards into the muck.

Raviteja Obili: K♣Q♣ All in
Philippe Le Touche: Q♠J♣

Olsen let out a cry as he saw the hands, announcing that his six was good.

The board completed with the 8♥ on the river and Obili pulled in the quadruple-up with king-high.

"‘You're so f***ing lucky," Olsen muttered as Obili raked in his chips

"Say thank you,’" Le Touche added with a laugh while gathering the side pot.
