Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

In a blind versus blind battle, Benjamin Chalot got in his last 160,000 and was up against Mitch Garshofsky.

Benjamin Chalot: Q♣10♦ All in
Mitch Garshofsky: 8♥8♠

Garshofsky hit a set on the A♣K♣8♣ flop, while Chalot was left looking to complete a flush draw.

"Red," Garshofsky pleaded with the dealer, but while two black cards came on the turn and river, they were the harmless 10♠ and 7♠ to give Garshofsky the knockout.

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Juan Pinero raised to 20,000 in the hijack before Tomas Jozonis three-bet to 55,000 in the cutoff. Alexis Lucarini then moved all in for 148,000 in the small blind and Pinero folded, but Jozonis called to put him at risk.

Alexis Lucarini: K♣K♦ All in
Tomas Jozonis: A♣2♣

Jozonis was looking for an ace to send Lucarini to the rail, but he couldn't improve on the Q♥8♦2♦8♥Q♣ board and instead handed over a double.

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Preflop, hijack Viet Vo had three-bet an earlier open and called when Hugo De La Fouchardiere put in a four-bet from the small blind. With around 250,000 in the pot, the pair saw the dealer spread the 2♠2♥5♣ flop.

De La Fouchardiere continued with a bet of 55,000, which Vo called. De La Fouchardiere sized up to 100,000 on the A♦ turn. Vo took some time, spending one time bank before calling again.

De La Fouchardiere completed his triple-barrel by shoving all in on the 7♣ river. Vo quickly committed his remaining 220,000 to the middle for a call.

De La Fouchardiere showed A♥5♥ for two pair, aces and fives, besting the A♠K♠ of Vo and sending him to the rail.

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Alex Keating raised to 20,000 in early position and Jessica Teusl called on the button. Hanan Tabrichi then moved all in for 180,000 in the small blind and Keating folded, but Teusl snap-called.

Hanan Tabrichi: A♥5♦ All in
Jessica Teusl: J♦J♠

The J♥ fell right in the window to give Teusl a set, followed by 9♥8♦. "Heart on the turn for a sweat. Nothing against you, just for the sweat," Sami Bechahed said, but the 2♣ turn offered no help to Tabrichi. He was left drawing dead going to the 6♠ river, and Teusl scored the knockout.

"Wow, you would've set-over-set me," Keating told her, revealing he had two eights.

"Table of death, just like yesterday. Started with eight, left with three," Diogo Duarte added as only he, Bechahed, and Jakub Sterba remained at the table from those who started the day.

Guillermo Gordo had opened from middle position when Alexandre Bermon three-bet all in for 145,000 from the small blind. Gordo immediately called with the covering stack.

Alexandre Bermon: 6♥6♣ All in
Guillermo Gordo: K♠K♥

Gordo locked up the pot by making a set on the 3♥7♥10♦K♣ turn. Bermon said his goodbyes as the meaningless 3♠ river rolled off and he headed to the payout area.

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

"I'm getting really short. I have to play another pot with Jessica," Alex Keating said.

"No, go after my neighbor," Jessica Teusl replied, pointing at Endrit Geci.

"He's so tight, though. He's the perfect player to finish fourth in this tournament," Keating added.

Geci decided to open things up by raising to 20,000 in middle position. Keating then three-bet to 105,000 in the small blind, and Geci folded.

"Pick one," Keating said, and Geci choose the Q♥.

The next hand, Keating opened to 20,000 on the button and Leo Worthington-Leese called in the big blind.

"He takes in all the information and gives away none," Keating said about Worthington-Leese, who remained silent with his headphones on. Keating continued for 30,000 on the Q♥9♠8♥ flop, and Worthington-Leese called.

The turn was the A♥ and Keating bet another 80,000. Worthington-Leese again called, and they both checked the A♣ river.

Worthington-Leese showed J♠8♣ for two pair, and Keating mucked.

Diogo Duarte raised to 22,000 under the gun and received three callers, including Sami Bechahed in early position, Alex Keating in middle position, and big blind Hanan Tabrichi.

The flop came K♠5♠3♦ and action checked to Keating, who bet 65,000. Only Bechahed called.

The A♣ turn was checked through, and the 10♥ fell on the river. Bechahed checked again, and Keating quickly checked back.

Bechahed turned over Q♣Q♦, and Keating mucked.

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

A small pot of 83,000 between Ricardo Alves in the big blind and Adrian State on the button had reached the 8♥A♦10♣7♣4♣ river. Alves fired a bet of 55,000, which State raised to 175,000.

Alves did not take long before flicking in a calling chip. State tabled 4♠4♥ for a set of fours, and Alves' cards were sent into the muck.
