Li Felts Dubanov

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

It's been a rollercoaster of emotions over the last orbit for Vladislav Dubanov as he first doubled up, then bluffed off most of his stack, and now he has been eliminated by Shankui Li.

Vladislav Dubanov: 10x10x All in
Shankui Li: 8♣8♦

Dubanov had the best of it, but couldn't hold onto his lead as the K♦4♣8♥2♦9♥ runout meant Li hit a set, which sent Dubanov to the rail.

Lev Margolin got his last 150,000 into the middle with Daniel Myers being the player trying to bust him.

Lev Margolin: A♥Q♦ All in
Daniel Myers: A♠K♥

Margolin looked poised to hit the rail unless he could find a queen. The board ran out 6♦2♦2♣A♦Q♥ to give Margolin two pair on the river, and he earned the much-needed double-up.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Jelle Moene opened from under the gun to 40,000 and Lev Margolin shoved for 395,000 from the small blind. Upon receiving the count, Moene made the call.

Lev Margolin: A♠9♦ All in
Jelle Moene: 9♠9♣

Margolin needed a lot of help and didn't find any on the 2♣K♥5♦ flop. The 10♣ put Margolin one step closer to the rail, but the A♥ on the river kept him alive at the last possible moment.
