Level 22
Blinds: 10,000/20,000 (20,000)
Nicolas Chouity made it 40,000 in middle position. Miroslav Rizov was next to act, and he pushed in his 300,000 from the hijack. It folded back to Chouity, who spent several time banks before calling.
Miroslav Rizov: A♦Q♣ 
Nicolas Chouity: A♥J♠
The board ran out 5♦7♦3♦A♣8♣. Rizov's kicker remained in play to double him up, virtually switching stacks with Chouity.
The 35 remaining players have been sent on their last 20-minute break of the day. When they return, they will play one more level of 90 minutes before the day concludes. The updates from the stream will continue during the break.
Listed below are some highlights from Level 23.
Toni Kaukua checked from the big blind on the 6♥2♥Q♦ flop and faced a bet of 55,000 from Victor Angelescu on the button. Kaukua went for the most aggressive option and check-raised to 165,000. Angelescu elected to continue with a call.
The K♦ arrived on the turn, prompting Kaukua to keep firing, this time for 150,000. Angelescu once again called.
The 2♦ completed the runout and, after a few seconds, Kaukua shoved. Angelescu had the effective stack of 570,000 and was visibly distressed by the spot he found himself in.
After putting his head in his hands and exhausting the majority of his time banks, Angelescu made the call.
Kaukua showed K♥Q♥ for top two pair, winning the pot and eliminating Angelescu, who revealed A♥Q♣ for a pair of queens.
At a nearby table, Ersin Ical was eliminated.
After a raise to 50,000 from Vinicius Goncalves in middle position, Arturo Rodriguez moved all-in for 160,000 from the hijack. The action folded back to Goncalves, who called.
Arturo Rodriguez: Q♠J♥
Vinicius Goncalves: 7♠7♦
There was little to worry about for Goncalves, as the 5♣A♠3♠A♥4♣ kept his pocket pair in the lead and ended Rodriguez's Main Event journey.
Level 22
Blinds: 10,000/20,000 (20,000)
Vinicius Goncalves raised 9♦8♦ to 40,000 under the gun. Romain Lewis flatted A♠Q♦ in the cutoff, and he called when Goncalves bet 80,000 on the 2♥6♥3♣ flop.
Goncalves fired another barrel on the Q♠ turn. He opted for a sizing of 150,000, which Lewis called as well.
The 9♠ river slowed the Brazilian player down. He checked it over to Lewis, who bet 400,000 in response. After a while in the tank, Goncalves laid down his rivered pair, sending the pot Lewis' way.
Level 22
Blinds: 10,000/20,000 (20,000)
After Nicolas Chouity had opened in early position, Miroslav Rizov shipped in his stack of 150,000 in middle position. It folded back to Chouity, who called.
Miroslav Rizov: A♦J♦
Nicolas Chouity: 10♦8♦
Chouity flopped an open-ender on K♣7♣9♣, but the 5♦ turn and Q♦ river provided no further help. Rizov's ace-high held, doubling him up.
Yurii Zabrodotskyi raised to 50,000 on the button, and Eduardo Kalil moved all-in from the small blind for 560,000. Once the big blind folded, Zabrodotskyi confirmed the bet size and then called.
Eduardo Kalil: Q♦10♦
Yurii Zabrodotskyi: A♦J♠
Zabrodotskyi retained his lead on the 4♥8♠5♣ flop, but the 10♠ turn left him looking for help as Kalil moved ahead. The 9♥ river was unforthcoming, and Zabrodotskyi had to slide a large portion of his stack one seat to his left.
Level 22
Blinds: 10,000/20,000 (20,000)
Grzegorz Kozieja was on the button and raised to 45,000. Arnaud Enselme flat-called in the small blind, and the flop fell J♣10♣Q♠. Kozieja continued for 80,000, and Enselme check-called.
The K♠ turn did not deter Kozieja from firing again. He pushed 210,000 in the center, which Enselme check-called as well.
The Q♥ river was checked to showdown. Enselme showed A♥K♥ for the flopped nuts, while Kozieja quietly returned his 2♥2♣ to the muck.
Matas Cimbolas raised the cutoff to 50,000, and only Xiaosheng Zheng called from the small blind.
Both checked the Q♠A♣J♦3♠8♣ runout all the way down and Zheng won the pot with K♥J♥ for a pair of jacks.
At a nearby table, Lei Yu was seen leaving the tournament and was eliminated.
