Dan O'Hair

Level 38 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

In what would be the final hand of the tournament, Frederick Anastasiades shoved for his last 2,400,000 on the button and Leo Worthington-Leese called to put Anastasiades at risk.

Frederick Anastasiades: K♠2♠ All in
Leo Worthington-Leese: J♠3♥

Anastasiades was the favorite to double and remained that way on the 4♣7♣5♣ flop and 9♣ turn; however, the 6♦ river left Worthington-Leese with a straight to eliminate Anastasiades in second place.

Level 37 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Recep Aydemir shoved for his last 5,800,000 on the button and it was folded to Frederick Anastasiades in the big blind, who asked for a count and called after a bit of deliberation.

Recep Aydemir: 4♥4♦ All in
Frederick Anastasiades: A♠9♥

Aydemir was flipping and maintained his lead on the 8♠3♥8♥ flop, but the 9♠ turn paired Anastasiades' nine to leave Aydemir drawing to two outs.

The 7♣ river bricked out for Aydemir and he was eliminated in seventh place.

Level 36 : Blinds 200,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Alexey Badulin shoved for his last 3,400,000 from early position and just behind him, Aleksandr Razinkov also went all in for more. Everyone else got out of the way and hands were revealed.

Alexey Badulin: A♣J♥ All in
Aleksandr Razinkov: 10♣10♠

The A♠K♣Q♦ flop vaulted Badulin into the lead with a pair of aces, but the J♣ turn put Razinkov back out in front with a straight.

Badulin held outs to a full house, but the 8♣ river bricked out and he was eliminated in eighth place.
