Dan O'Hair

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Conor Beresford shoved for his last 6,000 from middle position and Marc Delimal also went all in for 27,200 from the hijack. Everyone else folded and hands were revealed.

Conor Beresford: A♦J♥
Marc Delimal: A♠5♣

Beresford was in good shape to double up, but the 8♣7♣4♠7♦5♠ runout paired Delimal's five on the river to eliminate Beresford.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Following an initial raise by Nemanja Lukovic, John Kyte three-bet to 4,000 in the cutoff. Fahredin Mustafov reraised for all but the last few chips on the button and Lukovic then pushed all-in with the biggest stack. Kyte was not pleased and sigh-folded, Mustafov called it off for around 34,000.

Fahredin Mustafov: K♠J♠
Nemanja Lukovic: A♥K♣

Mustafov took the lead with the Q♣J♦8♠ flop and 7♠ turn but Lukovic got there with the A♣ river.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A shorter-stacked Piotr Wiecek got it in with a pair as he revealed the 7♦7♣. He was up against the A♣5♣ of Cesar Garcia Dominguez and the Spaniard got there until the J♥3♦2♣4♠ turn to make the 4♥ river a formality.

The vacated seat of Wiecek was filled by Lander Lijo.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Mihai-Emil Isar opened to 2,200 from early position and was called by PokerStars ambassador Maria Konnikova in the hijack, Mario Trattou in the cutoff, and Luka Bojovic in the big blind.

Bojovic checked to Isar on the Q♣9♣6x flop and he continued for 6,000. Only Konnikova called.

The 10♠ fell on the turn and Bojovic bet 7,600. Konnikova announced she was all in, which was enough to put Bojovic all in for 17,600 total. Bojovic quickly called and a showdown was held.

Luka Bojovic:A♣A♥
Maria Konnikova: Q♥10♥

Bojovic would need some help against Konnikova's turned two pair, but the 3♥ river bricked out and Bojovic was sent to the rail.

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On the three-way turn of K♦J♦3♥10♣, Christina Solli check-called a bet of 3,000 by Gediminas Uselis while Hans Bosman was already all-in and awaited his fate. Solli then led the 9♦ river for 7,000 and Uselis folded.

Solli showed her Q♦10♦ for a straight flush and the 6♠3♣ of Bosman were no good, as he was ruled out of the tournament.

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Nicola Danselmo shoved for his lset 23,000 from early position and just behind him, Kasper Mellanen shoved for slightly less. Everyone else folded and a showdown was held.

Kasper Mellanen: A♠K♣
Nicola Danselmo: 8♥8♣

It was coin flip, but the 8♦6♣6♥ flop left Mellanen drawing to runner-runner.

The 9♥ turn sealed the deal, and a meaningless 6♦ river completed the board — eliminating Mellanen from the tournament.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Marc Uzan was all-in for the last 4,000 and Maciej Gut three-bet from one seat over in the hijack. Arthur Conan then four-bet to 21,500 in the cutoff to force out everyone behind, Gut called.

On the A♣Q♠10♠ flop, Gut check-raised from 8,000 to 20,000 and called all-in when Conan pushed all-in.

Marc Uzan: A♦3♠
Maciej Gut: K♠J♠
Arthur Conan: A♥Q♥

Gut had flopped the best of it and held up on the 5♣ turn, he then hit the 9♠ river for a straight flush as the cherry on top. Both stacks of Gut and Conan were counted with the former doubling or 69,500, leaving Conan on a mere 1,000.

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Mohamed Djezzar was all-in for a shorter stack and awaited his fate as Felix Schneiders had jammed right in front of him. William Hani as the preflop three-bettor was in the tank and then called, as Schneiders' camera crew came closer to film the showdown.

Mohamed Djezzar: J♦J♠
Felix Schneiders: Q♦Q♥
William Hani: Q♠Q♣

The two bigger stacks chopped up the chips of Djezzar on a board of K♥8♦8♠2♠A♣ and then bumped fists after.
