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

Aleksei Savenkov raised from an early position to 13,000 and Claudio Gordon moved all in for 99,000 from the hijack. Savenkov made the call to cover Gordons stack, and the players flipped their hands.

Claudio Gordon: A♥J♣ All in
Aleksei Savenkov: 8♠8♥

Gordon stood from the table after seeing Savenkov's hand and grabbed his bag, preparing himself to leave the tournament. His opponent said "Sit down," but Gordon said "It's my lucky thing," and remained standing to watch the runout.

The 4♦8♦2♣ flop prompted Gordon to ask for a "Three at least, to sweat," after Savenkov had flopped the set.

The Q♦ fell on the turn and Gordon walked away from the table saying "GG guys, good luck," after seeing he was drawing dead.

The dealer placed the 6♠ and Savenkov pulled the pot, getting a significant chip up.

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

Preben Stokkan on the button shoved all in for 100,000 over an open-raise of Shakhabiddin Muradov in middle position. The action folded back to Muradov, who quickly called.

Preben Stokkan: Q♥10♥ All in
Shakhabiddin Muradov: Q♦Q♣

The last queen in the deck fell on the 6♣Q♠K♥ flop, and Stokkan was drawing dead after the 8♣ turn. The 4♥ river did not matter anymore, and Stokkan left the tournament to enjoy an early dinner.

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

Jack Kiriakus limped in from early position and Alexander Seibt shoved 54,000 from the hijack. Once the action got back to Kiriakus, he made the call which put Seibt at risk.

Alexander Seibt: A♠K♠ All in
Jack Kiriakus: A♦9♣

Seibt was in a great position to double up and his situation improved on the 5♠6♠J♦ flop as he picked up a flush draw, which removed one of Kiriakus' outs. Neither the 3♥ turn nor 6♦ river changed anything, which kept Seibt alive in the Main Event.

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

Luka Sorainen was in the big blind and had a tower of chips in front of him for a bet of 72,000 before Ahmed Karrim reraised to 145,000 on the button. Sorainen called and they went heads up to the J♣6♦4♠ flop.

Karrim continued for 65,000 and Sorainen again called. Both players then checked the K♠ turn. Sorainen also checked the 5♠ river, and Karrim peeked over at his opponent's stack before checking behind.

Sorainen turned over Q♠Q♦ and Karrim surrendered the big pot.
