Level 21
: Blinds 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Juan Diaz-Caneja moved in for 475,000 from the small blind and received a quick call from big blind Jorden Verbraeken.
Juan Diaz-Caneja: 8♣7♠
Jorden Verbraeken: A♦4♠
The A♣2♣4♦ flop gave Verbraeken two pair, but the 3♥ turn brought some chop outs. The J♠ river did not bring them, however, and the Spanish player took his exit in 50th place.

Jonathan Condron moved all in from early position for 299,000.
Action folded round to Ivan Tononi in the small blind who moved all-in for around 700,000 to put Condron at risk.
Jonathan Condron: A♥8♥
Ivan Tononi: A♠K♠
Condron's ace was dominated by his opponent and the 4♣9♦4♥5♦3♥ runout resulted in him heading for the exit.

Stephen Callaghan squeezed in his stack of 100,000 in from the button and Ivan Tononi, who was the initial raiser, rejammed to create a heads up showdown.
Stephen Callaghan: 10♥9♥
Ivan Tononi: A♥K♦
Tononi was confident in winning the all-in as he had already lost the previous three of the day. The board indeed ran out 3♠6♣J♥5♦Q♦, giving him the win and eliminating Callaghan.
Level 21
: Blinds 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Kevin Hayes had moved all in from early position for 296,000 and Jamie Flynn called in the cutoff to put Hayes at risk.
Kevin Hayes: A♦8♦
Jamie Flynn: A♠Q♦
Hayes was dominated with a worse ace and remained behind after the Q♣8♠6♣7♦2♣ runout, his pair of eights not enough to prevent Flynn scooping the pot with a pair of queens and moving above the 1 million mark.

There were already 265,000 chips in the middle when Bram Kuppens bet 210,000 from the small blind on a board of 5♠Q♠J♦4♥10♥.
His opponent was Douglas Culligan, who had the calling chips in his hand but thought about the situation for a while.
"Alright, I'll give you one," Culligan stated before slamming in the call.
Kuppens' cards immediately hit the muck, upon which Culligan showed his A♠10♣ for a call with third pair. Winning this pot elevated Culligan's stack to more than 100 big blinds, seeing him become the chipleader.
Level 21
: Blinds 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
The board read K♠5♣5♠J♣ with around 350,000 in the pot.
Pawel Madynski had checked to PokerNews Ambassador Lukas Robinson, who overbet jammed for 570,000. Madynski had around 280,000 left behind and was in the tank.
Madynski eventually made the call and was at risk.
Pawel Madynski: Q♠10♠
Lukas Robinson: A♦Q♥
Robinson only had ace-high and a gutshot but still had the best hand, although Madynski's up and down straight draw and spade flush draw meant he had plenty of outs with one card to come.
However the 10♦ river gave Robinson the straight and sent Madynski to the exit.
