Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Heitor Maciel moved all in for 155,000 in the cutoff and Lauri Saaskilahti called on the button.

Heitor Maciel: J♣10♦ All in
Lauri Saaskilahti: A♠4♥

The flop came 2♥Q♦7♣, while the A♦ turn improved Saaskilahti to top pair and left Maciel needing to complete a straight on the river to survive.

The river instead was the A♣ and Saaskilahti made trips to earn the pot and send Maciel to the rail

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Rifat Palevic made it 55,000 from under the gun and Tobias Leknes three-bet the cutoff to 175,000. Tan Le called off his stack in the big blind, and Palevic also called.

The flop came 10♥10♣3♠ and Palevic checked it over to Leknes, who bet 60,000. Palevic folded A♦Q♠.

Tan Le: K♣K♥ All in
Tobias Leknes: K♦10♦

Le was drawing to just one out, the last remaining king in the deck, but that never appeared as the 3♥Q♣ runout sent him to the rail.

David Salituro

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Andre Plaza Marcano moved all in for 205,000 from the cutoff and Martin Nielsen called in the small blind.

Andre Plaza Marcano: A♠2♥ All in
Martin Nielsen: A♦J♣

Plaza Marcano was dominated and at risk as the 5♥10♠3♥ flop gave him outs to a straight. The turn was the 9♠, while the 4♣ river completed his straight and earned him a double-up.

At another table, Juan Carlos Vecino and Olivier Fazio went heads-up to the turn on a board of A♣5♣Q♣4♦. Both players then got all their chips in the middle.

Fazio showed A♠Q♠ for two pair, while Vecino had A♦10♣. Fazio was poised to take the pot until the 7♣ fell on the river, giving Vecino a flush. The stacks were counted down, and Vecino had Fazio's remaining 715,000 barely covered, sending him to the rail.

Juan Carlos Vecino	1,300,000 560,000	560,000

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Cards went on their backs with Evgenii Sboev and his 660,000-chip stack on one side and Luka Bojovic on the other side.

Luka Bojovic: 4♦4x All in
Evgenii Sboev: Q♠Q♣

Sboev's queens held on a board of 3♦A♠5♠6♠3♥ so he won the pot. Both stacks were pretty close, so they were both counted. Bojovic was slightly covered and he was eliminated.

Kai Cocklin

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Lauri Saaskilahti raised to 40,000 from the hijack with J♥9♥ and Tobias Leknes called in the cutoff with K♥Q♦. Tomasz Brzezinski flicked in the call from the button with 6♠6♥, and John Woods used some extra time before he called from the big blind with Q♠J♣.

The quartet saw the flop of 2♥Q♣7♦ hit the felt and when it got to Leknes, he bet 45,000. Brzezinski folded his pocket sixes, Woods called, and Saaskilahti folded.

The 6♣ came on the turn, which would have given Brzezinski a set, and Woods checked it over with 250,000 behind. Leknes then bet 100,000, Woods shoved, and Leknes called.

Woods needed a jack on the river to survive, but the 5♣ wasn't it, meaning he was out.

Player	Chips	Progress
Tobias Leknes	3,180,000 350,000	350,000
Lauri Saaskilahti	2,220,000 40,000	40,000

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Ramon Colillas raised to 40,000 in the middle position before Oskar Jonsson three-bet to 130,000 in the hijack. Colillas called and they saw a flop of Q♣Q♦6♠.

Jonsson then bet 55,000 and Colillas came back with a raise to 150,000. Jonsson used up a time bank before moving all in for 480,000, and Colillas snap-called.

Oskar Jonsson: A♠K♦ All in
Ramon Colillas: K♠Q♠

Colillas had flopped trips and left Jonsson drawing only to running cards. Jonsson was drawing dead after the 5♠ turn, while the river was the 10♦ to earn Colillas the bustout.

Joris Ruijs: A♣J♣ All in
Artus Gimenez: A♠Q♠

The flop of Q♣9♣Q♥ hit both players, but the A♦ turn had Ruijs drawing to a chop as Gimenez made a full house before the teasing J♥ river confirmed Ruijs elimination in 50th place.

Petrus Brandt opened to 40,000 from under the gun. Leo Worthington-Leese called from the hijack, then Nolan King raised all-in for 250,000. Brandt went into the tank but folded, while Whorthington-Leese quickly called.

Nolan King: 3♦3♣ All in
Leo Worthington-Leese: 8♦8♣

Worthington-Leese kept the lead all the way through a board of Q♥J♠6♦10♥2♠ and King was eliminated.
