Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Stefan Dimitrov raised to 5,000 in early position and Artem Kokoriev called in middle position. Candido Cappiello then three-bet to 20,000 in the small blind and Dimitrov moved all in for 40,000. Kokoriev folded, while Cappiello quickly called.

Stefan Dimitrov: A♥Q♠ All in
Candido Cappiello: 9♠9♥

Dimitrov needed to win the coin flip to stay alive, but he couldn't connect with the 8♦4♥5♠J♥10♣ board and was eliminated.

At the same time at another table, Paul Patouilliart moved all in for 60,000 from the cutoff and Steve O'Dwyer called under the gun.

Paul Patouilliart: A♦Q♣ All in
Steve O'Dwyer: A♥K♠

O'Dwyer had Patouilliart dominated as the A♠5♠2♣ flop gave both players top pair. The turn was the 3♥, while O'Dwyer improved to two pair on the K♣ river to send Patouilliart to the rail.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

William Kassouf moved all in for 21,000 from early position and Gerard Carbo called on the button.

"Thank you. Just what I needed, a double up. Maybe a triple up," Kassouf said, but the blinds got out of the way to leave him heads-up with Carbo.

William Kassouf: Q♣10♥ All in
Gerard Carbo: A♣Q♥

"I'll take the ten of diamonds," Kassouf said as the flop came Q♦J♠3♣.

"Oh, cooler," he added after hitting top pair.

Carbo's ace-kicker remained in the lead on the 7♥ turn, and Kassouf again asked for the 10♦, but he instead saw the A♦ as Carbo improved to two pair to send Kassouf to the rail.

"Write it was a set-over-set cooler. It's all good. I was short anyway," Kassouf said on his way to the exit.

Ilya Nikiforov: A♥7♣ All in
Nina Krasilnikova: A♣10♣

The board ran out Q♥Q♣10♠4♣6♥ and Krasilnikova made two pair on the flop, tens and the queens on board. She won the pot and Nikiforov was eliminated.

"What can I do?" said Krasilnikova. "I must call."

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Vitalijs Korhs raised to 4,000 in the cutoff and Jeremie Beneteau called on the button. Miguel Lorenzo then three-bet to 18,000 in the small blind and only Beneteau called.

The flop came 10♣3♦2♥ and Lorenzo continued for 20,000. Beneteau called and both players checked the 10♠ turn.

The river was the K♣ and Lorenzo moved all in for 73,500. Beneteau spent nearly five minutes in the tank before Korhs called the clock. Beneteau took a few more seconds and eventually called as Lorenzo showed A♣7♣ for ace-high. Beneteau turned over 6♥6♣ and won the pot with two pair to send Lorenzo to the rail.

Luke Schwartz raised to 4,500 in the hijack and Rafael Navas three-bet to 11,500 on the button. Leo Worthington-Leese then moved all in for 100,000 in the small blind and Navas couldn't call fast enough after making sure Schwartz had folded.

Leo Worthington-Leese: 8♥8♣ All in
Rafael Navas: A♣A♦

Navas had woken up with aces to leave Worthington-Leese at risk as the board ran out 6♠5♥2♠4♦10♥, sending Worthington-Leese to the rail.

Boris Angelov bet 13,000 from the button on a board of K♣J♣6♥4♣ and Stephane Guelpa raised to 27,000 in the big blind. Angelov then moved all in and Guelpa tanked for a few minutes before calling for 20,500 more.

Guelpa showed K♥5♣ for top pair, but he was already drawing dead as Angelov had 10♣2♣ for a flush. The river was the J♥ and Guelpa was sent to the rail.
