Will Shillibier

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

It folded to Niklas Astedt who shoved blind on blind for 547,000 with Maksim Vaskresenski calling in the big blind for his last 496,000.

Maksim Vaskresenski: J♥J♦ All in
Niklas Astedt: A♦Q♦

Astedt flopped both straight and flush draws as it came 5♠4♦3♦ and although the turn 10♥ bricked, the 2♦ completed both draws and sent Vaskresenski to the rail.

Level 10 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Steve O'Dwyer got his 250,000 stack into the middle with Thomas Santerne making the call to try and bust him.

Steve O'Dwyer: J♦J♠ All in
Thomas Santerne: K♣K♦

O'Dwyer needed to find a jack if he was to remain in his seat. The flop of 6♦5♣8♥ didn't change anything, but the K♥ on the turn left O'Dwyer drawing dead as an inconsequential 6♠ came on the river to give Santerne a boat. O'Dwyer was eliminated and Santerne moved up the chip counts.

Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The action was missed but in a blind on blind confrontation, all of Igor Yaroshevskyy's stack had gone into the middle on the turn of a board showing J♠5♠3♠6♥. Teun Mulder was the player trying to bust him from the small blind.

Igor Yaroshevskyy: J♥6♠ All in
Teun Mulder: 8♠4♠

Yaroshevskyy had two pair but he was behind to the flush of Mulder. The 8♦ came on the river, which didn't improve Yaroshevskyy, and he was the first elimination of the day.
