Kai Cocklin

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Joan Crespi opened and Oleg Svintsov shoved around 2,100,00. When it got back to Crespi, he quickly called.

Crespi held pocket kings and was ahead of the pocket tens of Svintsov. The runout brought a king on the flop, and Svintsov had his marching orders.

A few hands later, Danyel Boyaciyan shoved for 760,000 and was put at risk by Xiaosheng Zheng.

Danyel Boyaciyan: A♦9♦ All in
Xiaosheng Zheng: 10♣10♥

Boyaciyan was behind, but flopped a flush draw on 2♦J♣7♦ and rivered it after the 7♣K♦ runout.

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Joan Crespi raised to 200,000 from middle position before Kadir Altinbasak three-bet to 425,000 on the button. When it got back to Crespi, he jammed to put Altinbasak all in. Altinbasak didn't take long to call for his roughly 2,500,000 total, and the cards were revealed.

Kadir Altinbasak: A♠10♦ All in
Joan Crespi: K♣K♠

Altinbasak was in rough shape against Crespi's Cowboys and needed an ace to stay alive. The 10♥K♦2♥ flop was a disaster for Altinbasak as Crespi flopped top set. The 3♥ turn meant Altinbasak was drawing dead as the irrelevant 9♠ appeared on the river.

Crespi moved up to over 9,000,000 in chips, while Altinbasak was out in 22nd.

Parahat Nurmuhammedov opened the action from middle position to 200,000 and Ghassan Khalil shoved the button for 1,265,000. Once it got back to Nurmuhammedov, he took some time before he called.

Ghassan Khalil: 3♠3♣ All in
Parahat Nurmuhammedov: A♥Q♠

Khalil found himself in a flip, and stayed in the lead through the 6♣5♥8♠ flop. A 6♠ on the turn paired the board, which gave Nurmuhammedov a few more outs. It was bad news on the river for Khalil as the A♣ rolled off, ending his run in 21st.

Mohamed El-Wely raised to around 450,000 under the gun before Samir Hayek jammed from the small blind for roughly 1,900,000. El-Wely snap-called to put Hayek at risk of elimination.

Samir Hayek: 4♦4♠ All in
Mohamed El-Wely: K♥K♠

Hayek was behind to El-Wely's two kings, and was left drawing dead by the turn on the J♥2♥J♣K♣9♠ runout as El-Wely hit a full house. The pot was sent to El-Wely, while Hayek headed to the cashier's desk to collect his 20th-place payout.

Dragos-Florin Anton: 2♠2♦ All in
Mahmut Sanli: K♠K♥

Sanli was ahead and pulled almost out of sight on the 8♦J♠K♦ flop as he made top set. Anton needed a miracle, but never got it as the 7♣A♥ runout meant he was out in 19th.

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Adem Agoudjil raised to 200,000 from under the gun before Hassanin Hashim jammed for 900,000 from the hijack. Bahattin Eser moved all in over the top for around 2,800,000 from the button, which forced Agoudjil to fold.

Hassanin Hashim: 4♠4♥ All in
Bahattin Eser: 7♠7♥

Hashim was one of the shortest stacks remaining and needed some help from the dealer to keep his dreams of making the final table alive. However, the runout of K♥K♣9♣A♦Q♠ wasn't what he was looking for, and he headed to the rail in 18th place.

Adem Agoudjil	7,200,000 800,000	800,000

Pedro Ingles: A♥J♥ All in
Danyel Boyaciyan: J♠J♣

Ingles was up against the pocket jacks of Boyaciyan, but any ace or some hearts would give him the double up.

The dealer put out a low clean board of 9♥3♦4♦3♠8♠ and Boyaciyan's pocket jacks held up, sending Ingles out in 17th place.
