Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Markkos Ladev committed his last 75,000 into the middle preflop from early position with Elias Gutierrez making the call to try and bust him.

Markkos Ladev: Q♦10♣ All in

Level 12 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Patrick Leonard raised to 40,000 from the hijack with just 1,000 behind. Zhendong Li called from the cutoff and Dennis Schrijvers called out of the small blind.

The flop of 4♣5♦10♣ was checked to Li and he bet 75,000. Schrijvers folded, but Leonard called for his last yellow T-1000 chip.

Patrick Leonard: J♠10♥ All in
Zhendong Li: K♠10♠

Both players had flopped top pair, but it was Li's king-kicker that put him way ahead. The K♦ turn left Leonard drawing dead to the two pair of Li, as the J♦ came on the river and Leonard was out of the tournament.

Level 12 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

There was around 100,000 already in the pot as Enrico Camosci and Adrian Mateos went to the turn with the board showing 7♦A♠9♦K♦. Camosci then bet 36,000 from middle position and Mateos called in the cutoff.

The river was the 9♥ and Camosci bet 158,000, representing most of his remaining stack. As he buried his head on the rail of the table, Mateos went deep into the tank for several minutes. He ended up burning through four time banks before sliding his cards into the muck as Camosci took the pot.

At another table, Dmitry Yurasov had his last 130,000 in the middle against Yassin Mahmoud in a blind versus blind battle.

Dmitry Yurasov: A♠10♥ All in
Yassin Mahmoud: A♥K♣

Mahmoud had Yurasov dominated as the board ran out 2♠Q♣7♠6♦5♦, offering no hope to Yurasov as he was sent to the rail.

Tim Baker

Level 12 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Aliaksei Boika raised to 25,000 from early position and Yassin Mahmoud three-bet shoved for roughly 280,000 from the button. After the blinds folded, Boika snap-called.

Yassin Mahmoud: 6♥6♠ All in
Aliaksei Boika: K♣K♥

Mahmoud needed to find a six or he would bust just before the dinner break. The 5♥A♦K♦ flop gave Boika a set of kings and meant Mahmoud could only survive with runner-runner quads. The miracle didn't happen for Mahmoud as the rest of the board ran out 8♦J♣ and all of his chips were sent over to Boika.
