Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

James McCreanor had three-bet jammed from the big blind for 805,000, being called by Simon Wilson in the hijack.

James McCreanor: A♦3♦ All in
Simon Wilson: A♣Q♥

The pot seemed destined for a chop after the 8♥8♠K♥A♥ turn gave both players the same hand, but the 7♥ river made Wilson a flush to secure McCreanor's elimination anyway.

Action was picked up with Ruurd Nauta all in and at risk versus the covering stack of Riku Koivurinne.

Ruurd Nauta: A♠9♦ All in
Riku Koivurinne: Q♥J♠

Nauta's ace-high was good across the 6♥8♣8♥5♠8♠ runout and he doubled up.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Simen Gulbrandsen had moved in for 605,000 from the button and was called by Patrick Lynn in the cutoff.

Simen Gulbrandsen: 9♦9♣ All in
Patrick Lynn: A♥10♥

All seemed well for Gulbrandsen after the J♠5♣5♦ flop, but the 10♣ turn saw Lynn make a higher pair. The J♣ river changed nothing, leaving Gulbrandsen to pick up his cash.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Under the gun, Stephen Cullen moved all in for 340,000. The action folded to Timothy Chung in the big blind, who made a swift call.

Stephen Cullen: Q♥10♦ All in
Timothy Chung: A♥Q♦

Cullen seemed to be bailed out by the 10♣6♠5♠ flop, but Chung retaliated on the A♦ turn, making him the higher pair. The 4♦ river changed nothing, sending Cullen to the rail.
