In the cutoff, Ami Barer opened for 92,000 in the last hand at 40K and Andrii Novak defended big blind. They saw a {6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop and Novak checked. Barer bet 79,500 and Novak came back with 249,500. Barer reraised right back to 468,688. Novak peeled and the turn was the {5-Spades}.

Barer barreled tiny for 176,000 and Novak folded.

Rudolph Loses a Chunk

Level 22 : 25,000/50,000, 7,500 ante

Renan Bruschi completed the blind and Christian Rudolph raised to 165,000. Bruschi peeled and the flop came {2-Hearts}{2-Spades}{k-Diamonds}. Bruschi check-called 125,000 then 340,000 on the {7-Hearts}. The {3-Spades} checked through and Bruschi's {a-Hearts}{2-Clubs} was a winner against {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}.

That got a "not sure if" emoji from Rudolph.

Enrico Camosci Eliminated in 8th Place ($56,064)

Level 23 : 30,000/60,000, 9,000 ante
Enrico Camosci
Enrico Camosci

Action folded to the button, where Enrico Camosci crammed in 810K. Andrii Novak looked him up in the big blind with {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Camosci had to be disappointed to see he was pipped with {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

The {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{q-Spades} flop brought some chopping potential for Camosci but low cards fell on the {8-Spades} turn and {6-Hearts} river.

Volkmann Doubles Through Rudolph

Level 23 : 30,000/60,000, 9,000 ante

Bruno Volkmann had about 700K left when he opened for a min-raise under the gun and called a shove from Chris Rudolph in the small blind.

Volkmann: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Rudolph: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The {a-Spades}{4-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop was bad for Rudolph and things got worse on the {5-Hearts} turn. The one-outer didn't come home for him.

Wei Zhao Eliminated in 7th Place ($58,106)

Level 24 : 40,000/80,000, 12,000 ante

Andrii Novak opened under the gun for 160,000 and Wei Zhao shoved for about 1.1 million in the cutoff. The button and blinds folded but Novak called with {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}.

Zhao had overcards with {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts} and they came home on the {3-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} flop.

However, Novak had flopped way the best of it with his set. The {k-Diamonds} gave Zhao a shot but the {7-Hearts} didn't do it.
