Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

All the chips went in the middle before the flop, and Aliaksei Boika was at risk for about 425,000 against Joao Vieira.

Aliaksei Boika: 6♥6♣
Joao Vieira: Q♦Q♥

Both players missed the 8♦8♣7♥ flop, but the 5♥ turn gave Boika extra outs as he picked up a straight draw. However, the 2♦ river was no help as he stood up from his seat.

Kings into Aces for De Sousa for Painful Exit

Richard Hayes

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Ehsan Amiri opened to 25,000 and was faced with a three-bet to 75,000 by Kim De Sousa. Action folded to Oliver Weis in the small blind, who pondered his options before reaching for chips and producing a cold four-bet to 185,000.

That got Amiri out of the way but De Sousa wasn't going anywhere, pulling the trigger on the five-bet jam for around 500,000. Weis made the quick call, with De Sousa at risk.

Kim De Sousa: K♣K♦
Oliver Weis: A♠A♦

De Sousa had been extremely unlucky to run kings into aces and the J♥5♦4♦8♠Q♦ runout confirmed his departure.

Weis meanwhile moved close to the two million mark.

Oliver Weis	1,800,000 460,000	460,000

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Luis Faria shoved for his last 67,000 from under the gun and Nikita Kuznetcov three-bet to 132,000. Everyone else folded and a showdown was held.

Luis Faria: A♦8♠
Nikita Kuznetcov: A♠K♦

Faria found himself dominated and in need of help, but the Q♠2♠10♣A♣6♥ runout left Faria's pair of aces out-kicked by Kuznetcov and he was sent to the payout desk.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Boris Kolev and Timothy Adams were heads-up and the flop read 5♥4♦5♠. Kolev, who was under the gun check-called a bet of 40,000 from Adams who was on the button.

The 3♥ landed on the turn, and both players checked to the 4♥ river. Kolev announced all in, putting Adams deep into the tank. After thinking for a little over two minutes, he made the call.

Kolev tabled K♦Q♦, and Adams collected the double with A♦K♣.

Timothy Adams	676,000 9,000	9,000
Boris Kolev	360,000 215,000	215,000

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Marton Czuczor opened to 24,000 and Mikael Guenni moved all in for 53,000. Czuczor made the call to put Guenni at risk.

Mikael Guenni: A♥10♥
Marton Czuczor: A♦4♣

Guenni was in good shape with a dominating ace and the 10♣K♦8♥ flop improved him to a pair of tens, with the 5♥5♣ turn and river confirming his double-up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Marton Czuczor	320,000 112,000	112,000
Mikael Guenni	136,000 49,000	49,000

De Sousa Gets Value From Weissman

Dan O'Hair

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Kim De Sousa opened to 25,000 from the hijack and found one caller in Joey Weissman in the big blind.

Weissman check-called a 22,000 bet from De Sousa on the A♣7♥8♦ flop and then both players checked on the 6♣ turn.

Weissman checked a final time on the J♥ river and De Sousa bet 45,000. Weissman verified the bet before making the call and De Sousa turned over A♠9♦ for a pair of aces.

Weissman coulnd't beat it and mucked — conceding the pot to De Sousa.

Tyler Foran

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Elias Gutierrez opened 25,000 under the gun, and Robin Ylitalo three-bet 105,000 from the blind. Gutierrez went into the tank and eventually shoved all-in for about 490,000. Ylitalo snap-called, and both hands were tabled.

Elias Gutierrez: 10♥10♣
Robin Ylitalo: Q♣Q♦

Gutierrez ran into a bigger pair and couldn't catch up as the board ran out K♥9♣8♠5♠2♣, sending him to the payout desk.
