Nimylovych Falls to Lee

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

Hon Cheong Lee opened the button and then called the shove of Taras Nimylovych in the small blind, who ripped in around 20,000.

Taras Nimylovych: A♦4♦ All in
Hon Cheong Lee: A♥K♦

Nimylovych's situation went from bad to almost insurmountable as the K♥K♣5♥ flop gave Lee trips. Running cards were needed for the Ukrainian player, but the 5♦ turn left him drawing dead. A meaningless 3♣ filled out the board on the river, and Nimylovych was sent on his way.

The dealer fanned a board of 3♣9♦2♥10♣10♠ and Moreno was sent to the rail.

Anton Kraous led out for 3,000 on a flop of 9♠6♥5♣ and Andres Korn called in the big blind. Ivo Bartoletti then raised to 8,000 in the cutoff, and both opponents called.

Kraous bet another 12,000 on the 4♥ turn, and this time Korn got out of the way. Bartoletti, though, called to see the K♣ river. Kraous then pushed forward a stack of his blue 5,000 chips, enough to put Bartoletti all in.

Bartoletti didn't take long before calling for around 25,000. Kraous then showed 8♥7♥ for a flopped straight, and Bartoletti threw his cards into the muck and got up from the table. Because he was all in, the dealer retrieved his cards and turned over Q♦9♦ before sliding the big pot to the EPT Cyprus finalist.

Palma Out; Camargo Has a Stack

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Nicholas Palma had just a few big blinds in his stack, and they were already in the middle while Gaspare Sposato and Claudio Di Giacomo battled for the side pot.

The full board read Q♦10♠8♣8♥7♣, and Sposato's J♥9♥ was good as he flopped a straight. Palma's 2♥2♦ were no good, despite him calling for a deuce on the river.

Di Giacomo's hand was already in the muck, which meant Sposato raked it in. Kaio Camargo is seated at the same table and has over 150,000 in his stack as the final break approaches.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Jun Lai raised to 2,500 under the gun and Marco D'Ippolito called in early position.

The flop came 7♥8♦8♠ and Lai bet 3,800. D'Ippolito called and the Q♥ fell on the turn.

Lai checked and D'Ippolito bet 4,600. Lai then raised to 11,500, and D'Ippolito called.

The river was the J♦ and Lai moved all in for around 30,000. D'Ippolito snap-called and turned over Q♦Q♠ for a full house, while Lai could only show 10♦9♦ for a no-good straight as he headed to the rail.

With that pot, D'Ippolito moved up to almost 200,000. David Coleman, coming off a runner-up finish in the Super High Roller, is also at this table, as is Santhosh Suvarna.

Ortega Picks Off Petrus

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Yurii Petrus shoved his last 11,000 in from middle position and Jacques Ortega called from the small blind.

Yurii Petrus: A♦10♣ All in
Jacques Ortega: 10♠10♥

Petrus needed to find that ace, but the 10♦Q♠Q♦ flop all but sealed his fate as Ortego flopped a full house. A queen was Petrus' best chance at survival as that would ensure at least a chop, but the 2♥4♥ runout meant he was eliminated.

Fintan Hand

Heads-up on a flop of J♣10♠2♣, Igor Pihela bet 1,000 from the button and Fintan Hand raised to 5,500 in the big blind. Pihela then moved all in, and Hand let out a sigh before calling for 26,500.

Fintan Hand: K♦J♦ All in
Igor Pihela: J♥10♦

Hand showed top pair, but Pihela had flopped two pair to take the lead. The turn was the 7♠, while the J♠ river improved Hand to trips but also gave Pihela a full house as Hand was sent to the rail.

The PokerStars Team pro was already on his second bullet of the day, so his Main Event officially came to an end.

On a flop of 8♠A♣9♠, Ian Pelz in the big blind found himself at risk for 36,000 against Ian Pelz on the button.

Ian Pelz: A♠8♣ All in
Juri Mereu: A♥A♦

Pelz thought he found the perfect spot with two pair, but he ran into Mereu's set of aces. The 7♣J♥ runout didn't bring him any more help, and he was eliminated.

Benjamin Jones raised to 2,000 in early position and Oleksandr Shevchenko called in middle position. Igor Picone then moved all in for 21,000 in the cutoff, Endrit Geci reshoved in the big blind, and both Jones and Shevchenko folded.

Igor Picone: A♣10♥ All in
Endrit Geci: 9♠9♥

Picone needed to overcome Geci's pair to stay alive, but he missed the 4♦3♣4♣2♥3♠ board and was sent to the rail.
