Saymon Dias: A♥7♣ All in

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Rania Nasreddine opened to 100,000 from the hijack and Yiannis Liperis three-bet to 315,000 from the button. Nasreddine made the call.

The flop came J♦6♦4♣ and Nasreddine check-called an 185,000 continuation bet from Liperis.

On the 9♣ turn Nasreddine led out with a bet of 300,000. Liperis thought for about a minute before opting to fold and Nasreddine took down a nice pot without showdown.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Christophe Pommier raised from early position to 100,000 and Fernando Valverde three-bet to 325,000 from the cutoff. When it folded back to Pommier, he four-bet-shoved for Valverde's remaining 1,300,000. Valverde called and the cards were revealed.

Fernando Valverde: A♣K♥ All in
Christophe Pommier: A♠Q♥

Valverde had Pommier dominated and needed to fade a queen to become one of the biggest stacks in the room. The runout of 3♦5♣2♠K♦10♥ was perfect for Valverde as he paired his king and doubled up.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Murilo Garcia was all in from the hijack and heads up against Sampirisi in the cutoff.

Murilo Garcia: Ax9x All in
Alex Sampirisi: K♠K♣

Garcia needed some help from the board to stay in the tournament but the help didn't come on the 2♦4♣Q♣ flop.

The luck didn't improve for Garcia on the 9♣ turn or the K♦ river, and he was eliminated in 39th place just before the break.

Tim Baker

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Salvatore Camarda raised to 100,000 from the button and Cherish Andrews shoved for 640,000 from the big blind. Camarda called and the cards were revealed.

Cherish Andrews: A♣J♠ All in
Salvatore Camarda: 10♦10♥

The flop of A♦2♠J♦ put Andrews in the divers seat, having improved to top two pair. Camarda couldn't find one of two remaining tens on the 6♣ turn or 4♦ river, and he had to send the majority of chips over to Andrews.
