Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Arian Hassankashani opened to 4,000 from under the gun and Andrei Sediakin shoved for 36,500 from the cutoff. Edward Quinn then committed his stack of around 26,500 to the pot from the small blind, which left Hassankashani with a decision. After getting the counts of both stacks, Hassankashani elected to surrender his chance at eliminating two players, and folded.

Edward Quinn: A♣J♣ All in
Andrei Sediakin: A♦Q♠

Quinn was at risk and needed to come from behind if he wanted to survive. Some help arrived in the shape of a K♠2♠2♣ flop as plenty of chop outs were available. The 4♠ river didn't change too much, and Quinn failed to survive on the 7♣ river as Sediakin's kicker played.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Vadim Volkhonskiy shoved from under the gun for 18,000 and the action folded around to Sokratis Linaras in the cutoff, who moved all in for just under 40,000.

Vadim Volkhonskiy: A♣6♥ All in
Sokratis Linaras: A♠7♣

Linaras had his opponent pipped and found a good flop with 10♣2♦K♣ as his hand kept its lead. A 3♠ on the turn did bring a few chop possibilities, but the A♥ river meant Linaras' kicker played, sending Volkhonskiy to the rail.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Mohamadou Abilil opened to 4,000 and Berthold Winz called from the next seat before Mikhail Iakovlev shoved for around 20,000 from the blinds. Abilil called, and Winz folded.

Mikhail Iakovlev: A♥Q♥ All in
Mohamadou Abilil: 6♠5♠

Abilil certainly had the stack to afford the call and it looked to have paid off after the flop of 10♠3♣6♥ gave him a pair. A 7♠ on the turn changed nothing, and Iakovlev didn't improve on the 3♥ river, which meant he was eliminated.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Mats Ullereng got his last 30,000 into the middle preflop with Romain Retiere making the call to try and bust him.

Mats Ullereng: A♣K♥ All in
Romain Retiere: A♠Q♦

Ullereng was poised to double up when the flop of 6♣A♦8♥ was spread out on the baize by the dealer. The 9♥ turn meant only a rivered queen would send Ullereng out the door. The Q♥ fell on the river to give Retiere the winner with two pair, and Ullereng was out.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ramzi Karam raised from under the gun, receiving calls from Alexandr Khvan and Alexandre Reard, in the respective blinds.

The A♥4♥J♣ flop saw the action check to Karam, who continued for 4,500. Only Khvan called.

The 2♦ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Karam sized up to 23,000.

The 9♣ river prompted Khvan to play out of flow, leading for a small wager of 10,000. Karam moved all in for Khvan's effective stack of approximately 60,000 and Khvan went deep into the tank, eventually making the call for his tournament life.

Alexandr Khvan: A♣K♣ All in
Ramzi Karam: A♠A♦

Khvan was on the wrong side of this cooler, sending him to the rail.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The action was caught as Levente Szabo, in early position, had both Haiyang Yang, who was under the gun, and Ludovic Breau, in the big blind, all and at risk for their short stacks.

Haiyang Yang: A♦5♥ All in
Ludovic Breau: A♠Q♣ All in
Levente Szabo: 10♣10♥

The hand was practically over for both Yang and Breau on the 10♠4♣8♦ flop. The 6♦ turn and A♣ river confirmed Szabo was the victor, sending both his opponents to the rail.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Romain Retiere opened from the cutoff to 2,500 and Nikolai Mamut shoved for around 15,000 out of the small blind. Retiere called to put Mamut at risk.

Nikolai Mamut: A♥4♥ All in
Romain Retiere: A♣K♣

Mamut was in a lot of trouble against the Big Slick of Retiere. The board ran out 6♦3♣7♦J♠J♣ with no hearts or four, and Retiere's ace-king had ended Mamut's tournament.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Stoyan Madanzhiev got the action going with a raise to 2,400 from early position, attracting a call from Xiaohua Fu in the cutoff. The excitement didn’t stop there; Robbie Bull in the small blind decided to make it interesting with a three-bet to 10,500. Madanzhiev, holding just a bit more than that, opted to go all in. Fu quickly folded, but Bull snap-called, setting up a showdown.

Stoyan Madanzhiev: Q♥Q♦ All in
Robbie Bull: K♥K♦

Madanzhiev needed some help from the board, but it didn’t come as the cards ran out 10♦9♣8♠6♠10♣, providing no assistance and sending Madanzhiev to the rail. Meanwhile, Bull scooped up a nice stack to keep him in the tournament.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a flop of 2♣3♣Q♠, Alexandre Henry committed his stack of over 20,000 to the pot, and was put at risk by Vadzim Godzdanker.

Alexandre Henry: A♦Q♣ All in
Vadzim Godzdanker: Q♥J♥

Henry was well in the lead but was stunned by the J♦ on the turn, which gave Godzdanker a firm grip on the pot. Only an ace on the river could save Henry, but instead the 7♦ rolled off, which meant he was eliminated.
