Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Erik Seidel pushed in his last 35,000 in middle position and was called by Mustafa Al Sayegh in the cutoff.

Erik Seidel: A♠J♠ All in
Mustafa Al Sayegh: A♦Q♦

The 10♠10♥7♦ flop brought some chop outs for Seidel's inferior ace while the J♣ turn gave the Hall of Famer the lead with two pair.

The K♦ river made Al Sayegh Broadway, however, and Seidel said his goodbyes before picking up his min-cash.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Jelle Moene opened to 9,000 from the hijack with A♠4♠ and action folded around to Mats Ullereng who was in the big blind with 40,000 behind. Ullereng was sitting with A♣5♥ and used a time card before moving all in. Moene made the call and the players went to the flop.

The dealer placed the J♣9♦4♥, putting Moene ahead with a pair of fours.

Ullereng didn't improve on the 6♠ and 2♥ runout, eliminating him from the tournament after making the money, with around 243 players remaining.
