Level 21
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Euan McNicholas raised to 160,000 from the cutoff, which only Vester Vergeest called, on the button.
The action checked through on the 4♠Q♥5♦ flop, and the dealer added the 7♠ turn to the board.
McNicholas checked again before calling a bet of 225,000 from Vergeest.
The river 2♦ completed the board, seeing McNicholas check once more, and Vergeest snap-check behind.
A♣5♣ was shown by Vergeest, which was unable to beat the 10♠10♣ of McNicholas.

: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Jesper Joldher raised in early position to 160,000, which met resistance from Benjamin Nicault in the cutoff, who three-bet to 425,000. Joldher responded with a four-bet shove for around 1,000,000, which Nicault called.
Benjamin Nicault: A♠4♠ 
Jesper Joldher: A♣Q♦
The flop brought some chop opportunities for Nicault, coming out J♥J♠3♣.
The turn K♥ and river J♦ saw just that outcome, as the players split the pot, sparing Joldher's tournament life.

Level 21
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Gary Wilson moved all in for 825,000 from the cutoff and was called by David Deltreuilh on the button. The players in the blinds folded, and the players flipped their cards over.
Gary Wilson: 7♥7♣
David Deltreuilh: A♠J♣
Everything was going well for Wilson, with the 9♠4♠6♥ flop and 2♣ turn causing his pocket sevens no problems.
The river J♠ was another story, seeing Deltreuilh leapfrog him into the lead, sending him to the rail.

: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Darren Harbinson moved all in from under the gun for 450,000. The action folded to Richard Broda in the big blind, who called.
Darren Harbinson: A♠9♥
Richard Broda: 3♠3♦
The flop J♣2♠10♠ didn't change the state of affairs, with Harbinson still needing to connect with the board to stay alive.
Alas, the turn 3♥ saw him drawing dead before the river J♥ had even been dealt.

: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
The action was joined as Per Hansen had his 410,000 all in and at risk versus Vester Vergeest.
Per Hansen: 9♠9♣
Vester Vergeest: A♥7♣
There was immediate service for Hansen on the K♦9♥4♠ flop, seeing him improve to a set.
There was no coming back from that with Vergeest already drawing dead, meaning the J♠ turn and 3♦ river were purely a formality.
