Dinesh Alt checked to Vasileios Zisis on a flop of 6♥6♦8♦. Zisis fired a bet of 13,000, which Alt raised to 29,000. Zisis put in a call and snap-called when Alt put in his stack of roughly 50,000 on the 6♣ turn.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Seamus Cahill had put in his remaining 35,000 or so from the cutoff, after which Dongwoo Ko rejammed for around 85,000 from the button. Nils Pudel called on the button, covering both opponents.

Seamus Cahill: A♥9♣ All in
Dongwoo Ko: A♣Q♣ All in
Nils Pudel: A♦K♣

Cahill and Ko were rooting for the board to double-pair after the 5♣4♦5♠ flop, but the A♠ turn brought the last remaining ace instead. The 2♥ river did not change anything, seeing Pudel score a double knock-out.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

PokerStar's Alex Romero had open-raised preflop and saw Leonel Guerra Garza defend his big blind. Romero then continued for 7,000 on the 5♠A♣9♦ flop, which Guerra Garza check-raised to 27,000.

Romero put in a call to the 4♣ turn, where he called the 45,000 bet of Guerra Garza. Romero only had 48,000 behind, which Guerra Garza put in on the 4♦ river.

Romero quickly let his hand go, leaving himself with less than ten big blinds.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Ashleigh Naisbitt had gotten her final 75,000 or so in from under the gun and was looked up by Pavlos Xanthopoulos in the big blind, who had her covered.

Ashleigh Naisbitt: A♦10♦ All in
Pavlos Xanthopoulos: 9♠9♣

Naisbitt could not pair up on the Q♣4♣7♥6♠6♣ runout, eliminating her from the tournament. Xanthopoulos, meanwhile, started the day with just ten big blinds but ended the hand with more than ten times his starting stack.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Arriving on the 5♣7♥8♦K♥ turn in a three-way pot worth 90,000, Nikolaos Mastrantonas pushed all in from the big blind for 85,000.

Zhicheng Miao made a quick fold from the cutoff, after which button Gareth Magee asked for a count and spent some time in the tank. Eventually, he made the call, and the cards hit their backs.

Nikolaos Mastrantonas: 10♥6♥ All in
Gareth Magee: 9♦7♠

Mastrantonas had plenty of outs against the pair of Magee, but the 5♦ river paired the board and left him empty-handed instead.

Bull Charges to Double-Up

Level 16 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Robbie Bull in the hijack and Mark Spelman in the small blind were battling over a pot of 35,000 when Spelman checked the 2♠K♦5♠ flop to Bull. Bull put in a bet of 8,000, which Spelman raised to 22,000.

Bull flicked in a call to the 7♣ turn, where he instantly called when Spelman put him all-in for 64,000.

Robbie Bull: 5♥5♣ All in
Mark Spelman: K♣Q♣

Spelman's top pair was drawing dead against the set of Bull, rendering the 6♣ river meaningless. Bull doubled to a healthy stack, while Spelman was left short with a stack of only seven big blinds.
