Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ruben Picazo announced all in from under the gun for 21,500. Kristian Dahl, to his direct left, also pushed his stack of 33,000 into the middle, and everyone else folded.

Ruben Picazo: K♦Q♥ All in
Kristian Dahl: A♦Q♠

Picazo needed a king to stay alive, but the A♣5♥4♠ flop made his task even harder. The J♠ on the turn gave him a gutshot straight draw, but the 6♣ on the river sealed his exit from the tournament and Dahl collected the pot.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

On the turn with the board showing A♠4♣8♥6♣, Matthias Auer was first to act from the small blind and put out a bet that was big enough to put Niklas Astedt all in. Astedt had roughly 9,000 in his stack and after thinking it over for a few moments, put in the call.

Niklas Astedt: Q♠8♠ All in
Matthias Auer: A♣J♣

Auer was ahead with top pair, but Astedt could hit a non-club queen or eight on the river to win the hand. The dealer put out the 2♣ on the river to give Auer the nut flush, and Astedt was sent home.

Yuhang Chen raised to 4,500 from under the gun, Thomas Hunt called on the button, as did the big blind.

The 9♥Q♥7♣ flop saw the action check to Hunt, who took the lead for 7,000. The big blind folded and Chen called.

The 7♦ turn saw Chen check again. Hunt moved all in and Chen snap-called.

Thomas Hunt: K♠Q♠ All in
Yuhang Chen: A♥7♥

The river landed the 3♣; Hunt's two pair was no match for Chen's trip sevens and Hunt was sent to the rail.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Kanchan Sharma opened from the cutoff to 5,000 before Davide Ceglia shoved for 18,000 from the small blind. Sharma snap-called.

Davide Ceglia: A♥8♥ All in
Kanchan Sharma: A♣A♠

Cegila ran into the worst possible hand and needed some hearts to survive. The flop of 6♥K♥Q♦ offered Cegila with a flush draw, but the 6♣ turn and 5♦ river didn't help him and Sharma's aces won the pot.

Ollie Garland

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The action was caught as Dylan Lambert, in the big blind, was all in and at risk for his effective stack of around 22,000, against Simas Karaliunas, in the small blind.

Dylan Lambert: Q♠7♣ All in
Simas Karaliunas: Q♣6♣

Lambert was in a commanding lead and the A♠2♦J♣ flop changed nothing. However, the 6♦ turn put Karaliunas way out in front and the 4♦ river confirmed Lambert's departure.
