Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
There were already over 30,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 4♥Q♣J♥ when Maxime Chilaud had 27,000 chips out in front of him and Alisa Sibgatova shoved for around 136,000. When the action got back to Chilaud, he thought for some time before he tossed in a chip to make the call.
Alisa Sibgatova: Q♠Q♥ 
Maxime Chilaud: A♥2♥
Sibgatova was ahead with her flopped set, but had to dodge hearts as Chilaud had the nut flush draw. The turn was red, but the 9♦ wasn't the right suit for Chilaud, which left him with one more chance to send Sibgatova out.
When the 2♣ hit the river, Sibgatova breathed a huge sigh of relief as her set held up, and she was pushed the pot.

Uladzimir Zhyharau was seen vacating his seat and his chips went in the direction of Chakib M'hiri after the two moved all-in on a flop of A♦J♥10♣.
Uladzimir Zhyharau: J♣10♠
Chakib M'hiri: A♣A♠
M'hiri had flopped top set and left the two pair of Zhyharua in dire need of a miracle. However, no such miracle occured as the Q♦5♠ runout sent Zhyharau to the rail.

When PokerNews got to the table, Yassin Mahmoud had 9,000 in front of him on the button and Nemo Koering had shoved for just under 100,000 from the big blind. Mahmoud didn't need to think for too long and flicked in a call.
Nemo Koering: K♦J♥
Yassin Mahmoud: Q♣7♣
Koering was only marginally ahead, but that changed when the flop came down 10♣A♥K♠, which gave him second pair. Mahmoud did have a gutshot, but he couldn't find it as the 3♣ turn and 9♥ river earned Koering a double-up.

: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Clement Bonnant opened to 10,000 and Angelos Michael three-bet to 25,000 from the next seat. When the action got back to Bonnant, he shoved for around 80,000, and Michael quickly called.
Clement Bonnant: A♠Q♦
Angelos Michael: 9♣9♠
It was a classic coinflip where Michael kept his advantage after the 5♦K♠10♣ flop, but Bonnant did pick up some extra outs with a Broadway draw. A 4♦ turn changed nothing, and neither did the 6♣ river, which meant Bonnant was eliminated.

Oleg Ustinovich opened from early position to 8,000 and got a call from Danielle Noja before Zhewen Hu made it 28,000 out of the blinds. Ustinovich then shoved for around 50,000, Noja folded, and Hu called.
Oleg Ustinovich: 10♥10♣
Zhewen Hu: A♥K♥
Ustinovich needed to win the flip to get back to starting stack, but got off to the worst start as the A♠5♠9♦ flop gave Hu top pair. A J♥ on the turn didn't offer much and Ustinovich was already up on his feet ready to depart. A 4♥ on the river locked up the pot for Hu, and send Ustinovich to the rail.
