Having recently been with under three big blinds, Victor Fryda was all in from the small blind and called by Mohamed Mokrani in the big blind.
Victor Fryda: K♥J♥
Mohamed Mokrani: 7♣2♣
Mokrani made a pair of sevens while Fryda failed to connect with the board, resulting in his elimination in 21st place while Mokrani collected the last of his chips.
Level: 29
Blinds: 50,000/100,000
Ante: 100,000
Three players saw a board of J♣10♦9♦ with Wael Sarkis having already gone all in after being left very short-stacked earlier. Samy Barka checked in the big blind and called an 85,000 bet from Giuliano Boellis on the button.
Barka check-called another bet from Boellis on the Q♣ turn, this time for 175,000.
The river was the 2♥. Barka checked, Boellis bet 340,000 and Barka folded. Sarkis held 9♣3♥ for a pair of nines while Boellis showed down K♦4♦ for a king-high straight to score the knockout.
Ermanno Di Nicola was on the button facing a raise of 885,000 from Felipe Ketzer in the hijack. Di Nicola made the call.
The flop came K♠6♦6♥ and Di Nicola called a 225,00 continuation bet from Ketzer.
Ketzer fired a second barrel on the 9♦ turn for 425,00 and was once again called by Di Nicola.
On the 5♦ river Ketzer moved all in for 1,665,000 and this time it was enough to force a fold from his opponent.
Michel Habib moved all in from the button for 970,000. Nichan Khorchidian reshoved over the top from the small blind with a covering stack to put Habib at risk.
Michel Habib: A♥9♣
Nichan Khorchidian: K♣J♦
The board ran out 10♥9♥7♠2♣8♥. Khorchidian had made a straight on the river to take the pot and send Habib to the rail in 19th place.
With two players seeing a board of 9♠7♣5♠, Ara Melkisetian found himself all in and at risk from the big blind versus Mustafa Ercan who was under the gun.
Ara Melkisetian: 8♣6♦
Mustafa Ercan: 7♠7♥
Both players had smashed the flop but Ercan was behind with middle set against Melkisetian's flopped straight. The K♥ turn changed nothing but the K♣ river improved Ercan to a full house to send Melkisetian to the rail and collect a sizable pot.
With two players seeing a board of K♦8♦5♣ and roughly 400,000 already in the middle, Felipe Ketzer checked from the big blind and Clement Bonnant bet 160,000 from under the gun. Ketzer check-raised to 460,000 and Bonnant called.
Ketzer bet again on the 9♥ turn, this time for 700,000. Bonnant made the call.
On the J♥ river Ketzer sized up with a bet of 2,135,000. Once again Bonnant called.
Ketzer tabled 7♦6♥ for a turned straight to take down a colossal pot at Bonnant's expense.
Felipe Ketzer moved all in from the small blind, covering Clement Bonnant in the big blind. Bonnant made the call and was at risk.
Clement Bonnant: A♣10♥
Felipe Ketzer: A♥3♦
Bonnant was in great shape to double up with a bigger ace and remained ahead on the 10♥9♥3♣ flop. The 2♣ turn was also clean for Bonnant but the 3♥ river improved Ketzer to trips and Bonnant was sent to the rail while as Ketzer collected Bonnant's remaining chips.
Nichan Khorchidian opened to 220,000 from the hijack and Aleksandr Kirichenko moved all in for 1,700,000 from the small blind. Khorchidian made the call to put Kirichenko at risk.
Aleksandr Kirichenko: A♥10♦
Nichan Khorchidian: J♠J♥
Khorchidian's pocket-jacks held up on the K♣5♣7♥9♦8♠ runout to eliminate Kirichenko and continue to build a massive stack.
Nichan Khorchidian opened to 200,000 from the hijack and Andreas Christoforou moved all in for 1,655,000 from the big blind. Khorchidian called with a covering stack to put Christoforou at risk.
Nichan Khorchidian: A♥6♠
Andreas Christoforou: K♦Q♠
Khorchidian remained ahead on the 2♣5♠3♣7♠8♠ runout to score another knockout, exactly one hand after Khorchidian had eliminated Aleksandr Kirichenko.
