Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Antonio Asaro open-jammed 85,000 under the gun and was called by Pascal Bohler in the hijack.

Antonio Asaro: K♦J♦ All in
Pascal Bohler: A♠Q♥

Neither player hit the board when 4♠5♦9♣9♠3♣ hit the felt, meaning Bohler's ace-high was good enough to eliminate Asaro.

Asaro was one of the shortest stacks at the start of the day, but ended the hand with a stack of 20 big blinds, slightly below the average.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action folded to Axel Ben Hamou in the hijack, who opened to 20,000. Julien Darmont was on the button, and he three-bet jammed to 102,000. Action folded back to Ben Hamou, who made the quick call with the covering stack.

Julien Darmont: A♠K♥ All in
Axel Hamou: 9♦9♥

Darmont needed some help from the board, and got it on the A♦5♠5♣ flop, the brick 4♥8♣ turn and river failing to alter matters.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Diogo da Silva had opened for 25,000 in middle position and was called by Giuseppe Tarsia in the cutoff. Jack Kingsnorth then went all in on the button for 149,000.

After a short while, da Silva rejammed. Tarsia was covered by his opponent, and he quickly let go of his cards before the other two showed down.

Jack Kingsnorth: 9♦9♣ All in
Diogo da Silva: Q♦Q♣

Kingsnorth was in bad shape with his underpair, and the K♦A♣5♠4♠6♦ runout sealed his fate as the next elimination.
