Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Toni Kaukua
Toni Kaukua

Toni Kaukua had his stack of around 500,000 in the middle preflop, and was put at risk by Alf Martinsson.

Toni Kaukua: KJ All in
Alf Martinsson: 99

Kaukua needed to win a flip to remain in contention, but never improved as the 4A37Q runout meant he was eliminated in the closing stages of the day.

Maeda Makes Ill-Timed Bluff

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Akinobu Maeda
Akinobu Maeda

Akinobu Maeda raised to 60,000 in the cutoff and was three-bet to 160,000 by Georgios Tsouloftas on the button.

Maeda made the call to the 3K7 flop, where he check-called the bet of 110,000 that Tsouloftas put in the middle.

The 4 turn was then checked through before Tsouloftas bet 350,000 on the J river. Maeda shoved all in for 1,000,000 in response. Tsouloftas spent a short while in the tank before flicking in a calling chip.

Maeda tabled 55 for a pair of fives. Tsouloftas had that beat with KQ for top pair, raking in the big pot and ending up with more than 100 big blinds in his stack.

Gordo Falls Victim to Abelmasov's Late-Night Surge

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Marian Virlanuta raised to 60,000 in the cutoff. Igor Abelmasov called in the small blind before Guillermo Gordo three-bet all in for 475,000 in the big blind.

Virlanuta quickly folded but Abelmasov threw in a call.

Guillermo Gordo: A10 All in
Igor Abelmasov: 33

Gordo flopped some extra outs on 5QK, but neither his gutshot nor his pairs came in on the 2 turn or 9 river. He booked his exit while Abelmasov added more chips to his huge stack.

James Busts Banks

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Gary Banks moved all in from early position for 210,000. Action folded around to Bobby James who contemplated the call. He ultimately flicked in the chips.

Gary Banks: KJAll in
Bobby James: J8

"That's bad for me," said James before the dealer fanned the 8J7. Then he changed his tone, adding, "That's better for me." His two pair held across the 5 turn and 2 river to send Banks to the rail.

Taysi Eliminates Madanzhiev With Quads

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Muhtar Taysi
Muhtar Taysi

Stoyan Madanzhiev had gone all in for 425,000 from the hijack and was called by Muhtar Taysi under the gun.

Stoyan Madanzhiev: 99 All in
Muhtar Taysi: AA

The AKK left Madanzhiev needing a miracle, but the A turn made Taysi four of a kind to seal the deal. The 6 river did not matter as Madanzhiev dejectedly left the tournament area.

Virlanuta Closes in on 4 Million Chips

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Marian Virlanuta opened from early position to 50,000. Luc Van Der Beek moved all in from middle position for 300,000. Action folded around and Virlanuta called.

Luc Van Der Beek: AJAll in
Marian Virlanuta: A7

Virlanuta paired his seven on the turn of the 2Q67K runout to send Van Der Beek to the cashiers desk.

Korenev Busts Brecard

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Julien Brecard
Julien Brecard

Roman Korenev opened to 50,000 from middle position and short-stacked Julien Brecard defended his big blind, with about 120,000 left behind.

On the J109 flop, Brecard checked to his opponent. Korenev fired out a bet of 150,000, and Brecard got the rest of his chips into the middle.

Julien Brecard: QJ All in
Roman Korenev: AK

Brecard was ahead with top pair jacks but still had outs to fade.

The Q rolled off on the turn to put Korenev in front with the nut straight, and the K river completed the board, confirming Brecard's fate.

Steindel Left With One Out on the Flop, Stoyanov Approaches 2,000,000

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Radoslav Stoyanov
Radoslav Stoyanov

Aleksandr Razinkov opened to 55,000 from middle position and Christian Steindel shoved from the cutoff for 365,000. Radoslav Stoyanov then shoved from the small blind for around 1,400,000, which got Razinkov to fold.

Christian Steindel: KK All in
Radoslav Stoyanov AK

Steindel was in a great spot to double up, but that turned into an extremely unlikely scenario after the flop of 9A4 left him with just one out, as Stoyanov paired his ace and flopped a flush draw.

No miracle one-outer appeared on either the 6 turn or A river, which meant Steindel was eliminated.
