Elias Misses Two KOs

Level 17 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Darren Elias tried to burst the bubble twice but failed.

First, Andras Nemeth doubled through him with pocket eights holding against ace-king.

Then, Elias flopped a set of sixes against the queens of Evaldas "Man14c" Aniulis only for a queen to arrive on the river. The bubble rolls on.

Aniulis Can't Find River Help Again

Level 18 : 12,500/25,000, 3,500 ante

Evaldas "Man14c" Aniulis bubbled as he once again was all in, this time for about 400K with {a-}{k-} against the {j-}{j-} of Renan Bruschi. The board brought nothing for Aniulis this time, and he bowed out in 21st as the last player to leave empty-handed, bounties excepted of course.

Zhang First One Paid

Michael Zhang was down to 119K and shoved second to act. Wiktor Malinowski reshipped in the small blind to iso with {a-}{q-} and dominated Zhang's {q-}{10-}. Zhang turned a gutter but improved no further and accept the first payout, one he can't be too unhappy with since he was only in for one shell.

Bruno Volkmann opened for 60,000 on the button and Darren Elias shoved about 420K. Enrico Camosci tanked and stuck in a bigger stack of 434K and Volkmann called.

Elias: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Camosci: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Volkmann: {6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

It wasn't the worst spot for Volkmann but he only found a missed gutter on the {8-Spades}{2-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} runout.

Gonzalez Can't Find a Club

Level 19 : 15,000/30,000, 4,500 ante
