Level 31 : Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Boris Kuzmanovic moved all in for 1,225,000 in the hijack and Yakiv Syzghanov called on the button.

Boris Kuzmanovic: K♠10♦ All in
Yakiv Syzghanov: A♣A♦

Kuzmanovic had run into Syzghanov's aces and found no help on the J♥4♦8♠J♠4♥ board as he was eliminated in 23rd place.

At the same time, at another table, Florens Feenstra had shoved for 1,600,000 on the button and Alexis Nicolai called in the big blind.

Florens Feenstra: 8♣7♣ All in
Alexis Nicolai: A♣K♣

Feenstra was already up from his seat as the A♠4♠4♣ flop left him drawing incredibly thin. The turn was the 3♦, and Feenstra was drawing dead before the J♦ fell on the river as he joined Kuzmanovic on the rail.

At the same time as Luciano Iacovella was being eliminated on another table, Adis Zukanovic and Pierre Simonin went to the turn on a board of 9♥9♣K♠4♦. Simonin then bet 450,000 from early position and Zukanovic moved all in for 1,475,000 in the big blind.

"Show me if I fold?" Simonin asked, while he eventually called to put Zukanovic at risk.

Simonin showed A♠A♣, but Zukanovic had 9♦8♠ for trips. The river was the 10♥ and Zukanovic doubled up.

Level 31 : Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Jeremie Descouts moved all in for 1,775,000 on the button and Efrim Erdinc called in the big blind.

Jeremie Descouts: J♠10♠ All in
Efrim Erdinc: K♥Q♣

Erdinc hit a pair on the A♠K♣8♣ flop, while Descouts picked up a straight draw. The 7♠ turn also gave Descouts a flush draw, but he missed everything on the 10♦ river and was sent to the rail.

"Never easy," Mengshi Tian said to Erdinc after the hand.

At another table, Chin Wei Lim opened to 300,000 in the hijack, Luciano Iacovella moved all in for 1,625,000 in the cutoff, and Lim called.

Luciano Iacovella: A♦A♣ All in
Chin Wei Lim: K♥Q♠

"Uno minuto," Iacovella said to the dealer as he took out his phone to film the action. The K♠7♠3♠ flop gave Lim a pair and flush draw, while the turn was the 3♦. The 2♠ fell on the river and Lim made his flush to crack Iacovella's aces and send him to the rail.

"That's it for me. This is how I die," Iacovella said as he headed to the payout desk.

Level 31 : Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

In a heads-up pot on a board of 9♣5♥8♥10♥, Joseph Bardakji moved all in from the small blind for 5,500,000, nearly double the 2,300,000 already in the middle, against Thibaud Martin in middle position.

Martin went into the tank and eventually folded A♥J♣ face up, good for the nut flush draw and an open-ended straight draw.

"Why won't you gamble?" Bardakji cried as he showed Q♦Q♣ before taking down the pot.
