Kai Cocklin

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 150,000 ante

Zhen Chen opened the hijack to 30,000 and Belarmino De Souza shoved from the button for 60,000. When it got back to Chen, he folded.

Belarmino De Souza: A♣J♥ All in
Zhen Chen: A♥10♦

De Souza was marginally ahead and looked set for a double-up on the K♥K♣7♥2♦ board, but then a 10♠ dropped on the river, which sent him to the rail at the hands of Chen.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 150,000 ante

With over 100,000 chips in the middle on a board of 4♥J♠8♥9♦, Apoorva Goel checked it over to Pascal Hartmann, who fired 65,000. Goel then shoved for 240,000, and Hartmann quickly called.

Apoorva Goel: 9♠8♦ All in
Pascal Hartmann: J♣10♠

Hartmann had his fair share of outs, but couldn't find any of them as the 6♠ on the river kept the two pair of Goel in the lead.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 150,000 ante

Masashi Oya raised to 30,000 on the button with roughly 250,000 behind. After the small blind folded Steve O'Dwyer shoved from the big blind with the covering stack and Oya instantly called.

Masashi Oya: K♣10♣ All in
Steve O'Dwyer: A♦10♦

Oya was dominated by O'Dwyer and looked poised to hit the rail. However, the K♦2♥J♣ flop put Oya in the lead with top pair, and the 8♣ turn gave him a flush draw. The A♥ peeled off on the the river, however, to give O'Dwyer a pair of aces, and Oya was out.

Simon Lofberg opened to 30,000 from the cutoff, and Jessica Teusl three-bet jammed to 115,000 from the button. Hannes Jeschka was in the big blind, and he four-bet to an amount covering Lofberg, who quickly got out of the way.

Hannes Jeschka: K♠K♣
