Talbot continued for 5,000 on the 7♥7♦3♣ flop and Colomina raised to 14,000. Talbot then moved all in for 60,000.

Colomina used up a time bank before folding as Talbot took the pot.

The next hand, Balakrishna Patur three-bet to 22,000 on the button and Talbot moved all in again, this time for 99,000 in early position. Patur called to put him at risk.

Parker Talbot: A♠A♣ All in
Balakrishna Patur: A♦Q♣

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

Claudio Gordon and Rafael Pardo built a pot of around 120,000 as they went heads-up to the J♠5♣7♣ flop. Gordon then bet 45,000 from the big blind. Pardo came back with an all-in shove from early position, and Gordon called for 147,000.

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

Francis Beauregard made it 8,000 from early position then Michael Kil shoved for 46,000. Once it got back to Beauregard, he made the call.

Michael Kil: Q♥Q♠ All in
Francis Beauregard: K♥Q♦

Kil's pocket queens held on as the runout of J♥4♣5♥3♥5♣ left Beauregard unimproved. Although, the dealer didn't seem to think this as he announced that there was an elimination, much to the surprise of Kil. After looking at the board, the dealer realized that Kil had in fact won, and pushed him the pot.

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.

Laura Fryer

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

Grzegorz Wyraz moved all in from the cutoff for 71,000 with A♠K♣ and got a call from Giovanni Giudice in the big blind holding K♦Q♥.

Wyraz was at risk but ahead pre-flop and looking to hold.

The 6♣9♥K♥ flop didn't change much as both players were sat with a king but the 3♥ turn gave Giudice a flush draw and brought in a bit more of a sweat for Wyraz.

The 3♦ river didn't bring the flush and secured the double for Wyraz, leaving Giudice short.
