Gareth Cresswell shoved all in for 22,000,000 with {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} but was quickly called by Young Seo Yoon with {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}, putting Cresswell at risk.

Cresswell needed a lot of help to stay alive, but the board of {7-Spades}{q-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{9-Spades} did him no favors and he was eliminated in 8th place for a payout of £17,070.

Peter Norton

Peter Norton shoved from under the gun with {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for 15,000,000. It folded to Luke Cheslin in the big blind who folded {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}.

On the next hand, Charlie Tarimo raised to 2,500,000 in the hijack and Peter Norton three-bet all in for 17,000,000 from the big blind. Tarimo called.

Peter Norton: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Charlie Tarimo: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Norton would need his pocket pair to hold, but the {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} runout saw Tarimo spike a queen and send Norton to the rail as the first casualty at the Goliath X final table.

Balan Vasilica Eliminated in 10th Place (£11,950)

Level 39 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Balan Vasalica
Balan Vasalica

After Balan Vasilica limped with {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, David Reed raised to 14,000,000 with {a-Spades}{9-Clubs} to cover him, and Vasilica decided to make the call and himself at risk.

After a flop of {k-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, it was not looking good for Vasilica and the turn {6-Spades} left him drawing dead. The meaningless {3-Hearts} on the river completed the board and Vasilica was eliminated in 10th place which means it is down to the final table.

Level 39 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Young Seo Yoon opened to 2,400,000 with {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and David Reed defended his button with {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}.

On the {q-Spades}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds} Yoon continued for 2,000,000 and Reed called.

Yoon then bet 6,000,000 on the {k-Spades} turn and again Reed called.

The river was the {k-Hearts} and Yoon decided to check, to which Reed fired for 7,500,000 and Yoon made the fold.

Jade Walker moved all in from under the gun and was snap-called by Georgian Georgescu, putting Walker at risk.

Jade Walker: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Georgian Georgescu: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

Walker looked like the wind had been taken out of her when she realized what she was up against, and the runout did not help her with a {5-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{10-Clubs} board. Walker was eliminated in 11th place for a payout of £11,950.

David Roe was all in for 11,000,000 and was covered by just 100,000 by Gareth Cresswell.

David Roe: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Gareth Cresswell: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

Jacks would need to hold to keep Roe's hopes of winning the Goliath alive, but the {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{7-Spades}{10-Hearts}{k-Clubs} runout was not what he wanted, giving Cresswell two pair and sending Roe to the rail.
