Daniel Moran shoved from middle position for 63,000 and action folded around to Geoffrey Van Beest who rejammed all in for 105,000. Dinesh quickly folded and Pardo tanked for a moment before eventually folding.

Daniel Moran: 8♥8♦
Van Beest: A♣K♣

Van Beest took the lead on the J♥A♥J♠ flop leaving Moran drawing to two outs. The J♦ left Moran drawing dead to Van Beest's jacks over aces full house and confirmed Moran's exit from the flight. The inconsequential 2♣ was dealt on the river.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Dinesh Alt opened from under the gun to 8,000. Nils Pudel went all in from middle position for 23,000. Action folded back to Dinesh who made the call.

Nils Pudel: 7♠7♣
Dinesh Alt: Q♣10♣

The flop of 2♣K♣9♠ left Pudel's pocket pair at risk to a flush draw and two over cards. The 6♥ turn was safe for Pudel and Dinesh declared "too many outs" before spiking the Q♠ on the river to sent Pudel to the rail.

Daniel Rezaei: 2♠2♦

Action was picked up on the flop of K♦2♦4♣ which Adi Rajkovic checked to Vladimir Shabalin who bet 11,000. Hakim Chniyat made the call and Rajkovic folded.

After a moment in the tank, Shabalin tossed in a chip to make the call and Chniyat tabled K♣K♥ for trip kings to scoop the pot.

Shabalin tabled the K♠ and tossed his second card into the muck.
