Maxime Taldir

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

After Ran Ilani, under the gun, bet 15,100 and was called by Alen Sabic to his left, PokerStars Team Pro Barny Boatman in the small blind three-bet all in for 69,500. Ilani jammed with the 14,000 he had left and Sabic called, finding himself at risk for 53,500.

Ran Ilani: A♥K♣ All in
Alen Sabic: K♦10♦ All in
Barny Boatman: 8♠8♦

Sabic flopped two pair on 10♥K♠3♥, and the runout kept him in the lead so he tripled up while Ilani was eliminated. Moments later, Boatman was seen walking away as well.

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

Felix Schlott had a shot at a 100,000-chip stack, but instead was eliminated in the penultimate level of the day.

The full board of 6♠10♥9♦5♥Q♣ was already showing with Schlott's Q♥J♥ having rivered a pair of queens after missing an open-ended straight draw. However, Mohamad El Rais had flopped a set of sixes with 6♥6♣, and after the stacks were counted down, Schlott had just 700 remaining.

Those 700 found their way into the middle in the next hand and Silvio Vitelli rivered a flush, which dispatched Schlott.

Player	Chips	Progress
Mohamad El Rais	100,000

Silvio Vitelli	100,000
Milos Petakovic	35,000 3,000	3,000
Felix Schlott	Busted

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Daniel Zadok open-raised to 2,500 from middle position and picked up two calls before Philipp Wood moved all in from the button for 25,000. Only Zadok called and had the covering stack as players flipped their cards.

Philipp Wood: 7♣7♦ All in
Daniel Zadok: 8♣8♠

Wood was dominated and found no help as the board ran out K♦A♠K♠5♦4♠. Zadok held with his pocket eights, making two pair with the kings on board to win the pot, while Wood was eliminated as the tournament reached the last level of play.

Maxime Taldir

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a flop of 9♠5♥2♥ with 7,800 in the pot, Kerryjane Craigie in the big blind moved all in for 22,900. Bruno Bernardino, who checked from the small blind, went into the tank and eventually made the call.

Kerryjane Craigie: 7♠5♠ All in
Bruno Bernardino: A♥10♥

"Hold," Craigie said, with her pair against Bernardino's flush draw. The 3♦ didn't change anything, but the A♠ river gave the best pair to Bernardino, sending Craigie to the rail.
