Mikkel Nielsen shoved for approximately 5,000,000 first to act and action folded around to Martin Tsvetanov in the big blind, who asked for a count and tanked a while before putting in a call to put Nielsen at risk.

Mikkel Nielsen: A♥10♦ All in
Martin Tsvetanov: A♣J♥

Nielsen found himself out-kicked, and the 5♣2♥9♦3♦2♠ runout provided no help to eliminate him in ninth place.

Level 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Konstantinos Nanos: A♣8♦ All in
Alexantr Spatharis: A♥K♦

Nanos had been unfortunate to run into a bigger ace behind him, and the king kicker played on the A♦4♣3♣3♥Q♠ runout.

Caridade turned over 6♣5♠ for a stone bluff and Karlic revealed Q♦J♠ for aces and queens to claim the sizable pot.

Level 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Jack Sinclair and Ryan Plant got into a preflop raising war that ended with Plant all in for a bit under 15 million from the cutoff against Sinclair, who had Plant covered from under the gun.

Ryan Plant: K♠K♥ All in
Jack Sinclair: A♥Q♠

The 8♥K♦K♣ flop upgraded Plant to an unbeatable four-of-a-kind and Sinclair flung his cards into the muck.

The 10♣ turn and 3♣ river made Plant's double up official and he was sent the massive pot to overtake the chip lead.

Ryan Plant	30,000,000 19,000,000	19,000,000

Level 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Jack Sinclair raised from the cutoff and action folded to Andris Rasins, who shoved for a bit under two million from the small blind. Sinclair quickly called to put Rasins at risk and a showdown was held.

Andris Rasins: 8♦8♠ All in
Jack Sinclair: A♣K♣

The 10♦J♠2♥ flop kept Rasins in the lead with his eights, but the Q♣ turn upgraded Sinclair to Broadway and left Rasins drawing dead.

An irrelevant 7♣ completed the board and Rasins was eliminated in 12th place.

Richard Hayes

Level 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Alexantr Spatharis opened to 900,000 from the cutoff and was faced with a three-bet jam to 5,150,000 from Magnus Persson in the big blind, with Spatharis making the call with the slightly covering stack.

Alexantr Spatharis: K♦J♦ All in
Magnus Persson: A♥A♦

Persson had woken up with the goods, but the 8♦8♥2♦ flop spelt danger, Spatharis picking up a flush draw. The 5♥ turn was a brick but Spatharis binked the 7♦ river, hitting the table in celebration as he did so.

Persson was left cursing his misfortune, and was forced all-in from the small blind in the next hand. Konstantinos Nanos opened to 825,000, but folded to a three-bet to 2,250,000 from Jack Sinclair.

Magnus Persson: K♣Q♦ All in
Jack Sinclair: Q♥Q♠

Persson only had an overcard and exited after he ultimately missed the A♣10♣6♠3♠9♠ runout.
