Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Milad Langar opened to 24,000 from under the gun and found a call from the hijack. Walid Bou Habib also came along in the big blind to see the 2♥7♥A♦ flop.

Action was checked to Langar, who continued for 22,000. Habib was the only caller to the 4♥ turn, where he checked again.

Langar counted out another bet, this time for 60,000. That was enough to produce a fold on his right.

At nearby tables, Adrian State and Simone Andrian were both sent to the rail.

Level 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Action folded around to Iraklis Manikaros on the button, who moved his short stack all in. Darius Neagoe followed by shoving his larger stack from the small blind, with Jingxuan Zhu committing all of his chips from the big blind.

Other players gathered around the table as the hands were revealed.

Iraklis Manikaros: Q♠10♠ All in
Jingxuan Zhu: A♠K♦ All in
Darius Neagoe: 7♠7♣

Zhu found the help he was looking for by connecting on the A♣4♦3♣ flop. The J♦ turn changed nothing, while Neagoe's rail was asking the dealer for a "Seven from heaven."

The river brought the 2♥, leaving Zhu in front and eliminating Manikaros.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jingxuan Zhu	488,000 338,000	338,000
Darius Neagoe	223,000

Iraklis Manikaros	Busted
