Ollie Garland

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Jun Lai moved all in for 1,030,000 from the button, Nichan Khorchidian moved all in himself for 1,150,000, from the small blind, and Ibrahim Ghassan, in the big blind, called to have them both at risk.

Jun Lai: K♠Q♦ All in
Nichan Khorchidian: K♥J♥ All in
Ibrahim Ghassan: 10♥10♣

This three-way all in looked all but over when the 9♥10♠5♣ flop gave Ghassan a set. However, Lai's screams for a jack were met on the J♦ turn, giving him the nut straight.

However, it wasn't to be as the 10♦ river improved Ghassan to quads to score a double elimination.

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Fintan Hand raised to 240,000 in early position. Michele Guerrini was in the hijack and three-bet to 700,000. The action folded back to Hand, who jammed all in for 2,800,000.

Guerinni snap-called with the covering stack and Hand sighed as the hands were tabled.

Fintan Hand: A♠3♠ All in
Michele Guerrini: K♠K♦

Guerinni flopped a set on 6♦3♣K♣. Hand needed a runner-runner runout to stay in the tournament, but the Q♠ turn had him drawing dead instead.

The 7♠ river meant nothing as Hand's fate was sealed. He quickly exited the tournament area as his deep run came to an end in 16th place.

Simone Demasi: 7♥7♣ All in
Michele Guerrini: J♠8♣

Demasi was ahead in this flip until the 10♦8♠Q♠ flop paired Guerrini's eight. The 4♦ turn and 5♣ river failed to improve Demasi and he was sent to the rail.

Nikita Voznesenskiy: A♦2♣ All in
Leonid Logunov: K♦9♣

Lugonov took a commanding lead as he improved to two pair on the K♣10♠9♥ flop. However the 2♥ on the turn gave Voznesenskiy a glimmer of hope. The 7♠ came on the river though, and Voznesenskiy was eliminated in 18th place.

Andras Matrai: 5♠5♦

He was given a 30-second countdown by the floor, at the end of which he called all in.

Juan Baraza: A♥3♥ All in
Santiago Nadal: A♣Q♦

The 2♠7♠8♣2♥ turn brought some chop outs, but the J♦ river remained clean for Nadal to score the knockout, eliminating Baraza in 21st place.

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Kirill Aleksandrov moved all in from early position for roughly 500,000 with Kostadin Kostadinov making the call from the button. Aleksandr Burov had just one big blind and called for his tournament life from the small blind.

Aleksandr Burov: Q♦Q♣ All in
Kirill Aleksandrov: 9♠9♥ All in
Kostadin Kostadinov: 8♣8♥

Kostadinov had a chance to send two players to the rail if he could spike an eight. The flop of 8♦7♥7♣ gave Kostadinov a full house and put him firmly in the lead. However, the Q♠ on the turn propelled Burov into the lead with a higher boat, and he could only lose to a one-outer on the river. The dealer put out the 8♠ on the river to give Kostadinov the winner with quad eights and bust both Aleksandrov and Burov.
