Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Mustafa Simsek raised 40,000 in early position before Dario De Paz three-bet all-in for about 460,000. Adrian Andritz was on his immediate left and called off his stack of 250,000 before Simsek mucked his hand, flashing a Kx.

Adrian Andritz: K♣K♦
Dario De Paz: A♥Q♣

The K♥7♥5♦ flop gave Andritz a set of kings, but he hadn't sealed the victory as the Q♥ turn gave De Paz a flush draw. Luckily for Andritz though, the 8♣ river was a brick.

"It's always a sweat," Said Andritz as he pulled in the pot.

Adrian Andritz	640,000 291,000	291,000

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The bustouts are coming thick and fast in the FPS Main Event, the field now reduced to 162 players.

In one hand, Jean Montury was all in preflop against Scott Margereson, who had him covered as players turned over their cards.

Jean Montury: J♥J♣
Scott Margereson: A♥Q♦

The board ran out 8♠7♠10♣3♣A♣. Montury stayed ahead until Margereson paired his ace on the river to win the pot, sending Montury to the rail.

Over on another table, Daniel De Sousa Custodio moved all in from late position with a short stack and was taken up by Dinesh Alt on the button.

Daniel De Sousa Custodio: K♦7♦
Dinesh Alt: A♣J♥

The board ran out 6♠2♦8♦4♣A♠. Custodio picked up a flush draw to go with his pair possibilities, but he couldn't improve. Alt made a pair of aces on the river to chip up to close to 1,000,000 and bust Custodio.
