Level 30 : Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

Kirill Burtin led out for 125,000 in the big blind on a board of K♥5♦3♦Q♠ and Dashinka raised to 375,000 in the cutoff. Burtin called.

The river was the 9♥ and Dashinka asked Burtin how much he had behind before moving all in. Burtin snap-called for 1,300,000.

Dashinka turned over Q♣Q♦ for a set, but Burtin showed J♦10♣ for a rivered straight as Dashinka slammed the table in frustration before handing over the pot.

Level 30 : Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

Action was heads-up to the 9♣8♠J♠ flop, where Adrien Buetas and Mohamed Mokrani traded raises until Mokrani's stack was in the middle.

Mohamed Mokrani: 7♠6♠ All in
Adrien Buetas: Q♠Q♦

Mokrani could not complete his flush or straight draws on the J♦ turn or 6♣ river, ending his run in 28th place.

That left the 27 players to redraw for the final three tables.
