David Salituro

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Andriy Lyubovetskiy raised to 100,000 on the button and Yisha Chen moved all in for 1,695,000 in the big blind. Lyubovetskiy called to put her at risk.

Yisha Chen: 7♥7♦ All in
Andriy Lyubovetskiy: 9♠9♥

Lyubovetskiy had Chen dominated with a chance to bring Day 4 to a close, and he pulled further in front on the 9♦5♣4♠ flop by hitting top set. The Q♠ turn left Chen already drawing dead as the A♥ fell on the river to send her to the rail in 17th place.

Chakib Mhiri opened to 100,000 from the cutoff before Georgios Tsouloftas three-bet to 300,000 from the button. The latter then snap-called when Mhiri jammed for around 1,600,000.

Chakib Mhiri: 10♠10♣ All in
Georgios Tsouloftas: K♦K♣

Mhiri departed in 18th place after the kings remained best following the A♦Q♦8♣5♠5♣ runout.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Lander Lijo min-raised from the cutoff to 100,000 and Georgios Tsouloftas called on the button.

They both went to a flop of K♠7♣7♦ where Lijo made a continuation-bet of 80,000, and Tsouloftas called.

A 2♠ came on the turn and after thinking for a few moments, Lijo made a bet of 225,000. Tsouloftas called.

When the 2♥ double-paired the board on the river, Lijo gathered most of his chips and fired 680,000 into the middle, leaving just 5,000 behind. Tsouloftas then shrugged his shoulders and shoved, and Lijo reluctantly called off his last chip.

Tsouloftas showed 7♠6♠ for a full house, and Lijo's A♣A♥ went into the muck.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Artsiom Lasouski raised to 400,000 in the cutoff, leaving himself 20,000 behind, and Georgios Tsouloftas moved all in from the big blind. Lasouski quickly put in his last chips.

Artsiom Lasouski: K♣10♥ All in
Georgios Tsouloftas: A♥Q♥

Tsouloftas hit top pair on the A♠J♦7♦ flop, while Lasouski was left looking to complete a straight draw. The 7♠ turn was no help, while the 2♥ fell on the river and Lasouski was eliminated in 20th place.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Santhosh Suvarna moved all in for 200,000 under the gun as action folded to Damir Zhugralin who snap-called in the big blind.

Santhosh Suvarna: J♣9♣ All in
Damir Zhugralin: Q♥Q♦

The 7♠6♠5♥ board gave Suvarna some hope with a straight draw, but he missed the 5♦ turn and 10♦ river as Zhugralin's queens stayed in the lead to send Suvarna to the rail in 21st place.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Stefan Toderita shoved from the hijack for a little over 400,000, and Damir Zhugralin also shoved from the button.

Stefan Toderita: K♥Q♦ All in
Damir Zhugralin: 9♥9♣

Toderita was facing a crucial flip that he needed to win if he wanted to remain in the Main Event. The flop of 4♣3♣2♦ was low and changed nothing, and the J♠ wasn't the paint that Toderita was looking for. When the 8♥ hit the river, Toderita wished his tablemates good luck and headed to the payout desk.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The action folded around to Adrien Quetelart in the small blind, who shoved for around 170,000. Timo Kamphues snap-called from the big blind.

Adrien Quetelart: Q♥10♣ All in
Timo Kamphues: K♦7♦

Quetelart was live and did pair his queen on the Q♦8♦K♣ flop, but Kamphues paired his king and picked up a flush draw. The 6♠ river changed nothing, and neither did the J♣ river, which meant Quetelart was eliminated.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Kirill Shcherbakov was all in for his last 135,000 out of the big blind, and Ivan Banic also had his stack of around 300,000 in the middle. Eleftherios Sinnos put them both at risk and was in prime position to score a double knockout.

Kirill Shcherbakov: 9♠4♦ All in
Ivan Banic: K♥K♣ All in
Eleftherios Sinnos: A♣A♦

Banic surely thought this was his moment to double up, but unfortunately for him, Sinnos had picked up aces. The board of 3♦2♥10♦J♣8♦ brought no surprises, and Sinnos secured the double elimination of Banic and Shcherbakov.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Marta Miquel Munoz opened the cutoff to 60,000 and Roeland Peeks shoved from the big blind for 330,000. Munoz thought for just a short time before she called.

Roeland Peeks: A♣8♥ All in
Marta Miquel Munoz: A♥9♦

Peeks was at risk, but did find some chop possibilities on the J♥3♦K♥ flop, and even more on the 10♣ turn. However, the 2♥ river meant Munoz's kicker played, which sent Peeks to the rail.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Georgios Skarparis raised to 55,000 in early positon. Artsiom Lasouski then three-bet to 165,000 in the cutoff, which big blind Georgios Tsouloftas cold-called.

Skarparis quickly tossed in his stack of 645,000 for a four-bet jam. Lasouski used some time banks before he found a fold with 10♥10♦, after which Tsouloftas snap-called.

Georgios Skarparis: Q♠Q♦ All in
Georgios Tsouloftas: A♦A♣

The 7♣6♦K♣2♣ turn left Skarparis with one out. It did not arrive on the K♠ river, resulting in the end of his Main Event run.
