Heads-up on a flop of Q♠2♣J♠, Timothy Rutherford bet 23,000 from the button before Eero Rantala raised to 52,000 in middle position. Rutherford called to see the 8♥ turn.

Rantala then moved all in and Rutherford called for 136,000. Rantala showed A♦Q♣ for top pair, but Rutherford had K♠K♣. The river was the 10♦ and Rutherford doubled up while Rantala, who began the day in the top five on the leaderboard, dropped down to around 80,000.

Jamil Wakil opened to 11,000 form the cutoff and was three-bet to 30,000 by Jamie Nixon on the button. It was folded back to Wakil, who called.

Both players checked on the K♠Q♠10♥ flop and then Wakil led out for 15,000 on the J♣ turn. Nixon called.

The 6♠ completed the board and Wakil bet 10,000. Nixon cut out a raise to 45,000 and placed it into the middle, which got a quick fold from Wakil.

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Tom Middleton opened to 11,000 with the A♣J♣ from an early position, Alexander van der Swaluw called with the K♠Q♠ and so did Salvatore Camarda in the small blind with the 6♠6♥. Benjamin Spragg also came along in the big blind with the 7♦ showing.

The 8♣5♣2♠ flop was checked to Middleton and he bet 25,000 into 49,000. Van der Swaluw folded, Camarda called and Spragg folded. The 8♦ turn paired the board and Camarda checked, as did Middleton, who then hit the 7♣ river to make the ace-high flush.

Camarda opted to lead for 16,000 but Middleton raised to 95,000 to force out the italian.

[Removed:551] moved all in for 78,000 on the button and Tarmo Tammel called in the big blind.

[Removed:551]: 9♥9♣
Tarmo Tammel: K♠K♥

Tammel pulled even further in front as the 4♣K♣8♣ flop gave him top set. "Clubs," [Removed:552] pleaded, and he got his wish on the 6♣ turn to make a flush.

The river, though, was the 6♥ and Tammel improved to a full house to send [Removed:552] to the rail.

Peter Jorgne raised to 10,000 in middle position and Barny Boatman called in the hijack. Eero Rantala three-bet to 35,000 on the button and Jorgne four-bet to 135,000. Boatman got out of the way, but Rantala moved all in and Jorgne called for 324,000.

Peter Jorgne: A♠K♣
Eero Rantala: Q♠Q♣

Cameras swarmed around the table as last year's runner-up needed to win this classic flip to stay alive. The flop came J♦3♦K♦ and he spiked a king to take the lead. The 6♦ turn was safe, while the A♣ river improved Jorgne to two pair and he doubled up.

Barny Boatman opened to 10,000 from the hijack and was three-bet to 32,000 by Eero Rantala on the button. Action folded back to Boatman, who called.

Boatman proceeded to check-call Rantala down on every street. First for 36,000 on the 8♥8♠7♦ flop, then for 63,000 on the 4♥ turn, and finally for 100,000 on the 5♦ river. Rantala could only show K♦J♥ and Boatman turned over 6♣6♠ for a straight and was sent the pot.

"The river made it easier, but I had already decided [to call]," Boatman said.
