Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
With around 40,000 in the pot ona 2♠Q♣8♥J♠ board, Alexandros Kolonias checked from the small blind and Milos Skrbic shoved his stack of around 40,000 in from the button. Kolonias snap-called,
Milos Skrbic: K♥K♣ 
Alexandros Kolonias: A♥A♣
There was still one card to come, but the dealer momentarily forgot that as he went to push the pot to Kolonias before being reminded that the river hadn't been dealt. With the table all laughing, the dealer finally put the 5♦ out, which meant Skrbic was eliminated.

The always-entertaining Hassan Nashar has chipped up to around 600,000 as the penultimate level edges closing to its end.
On a board of 9♦9♠Q♠10♥, Nashar fired 10,000 and got a call to see the 7♦ on the river. Nashar bet again, this time for 15,000, and again his opponent called.
Nashar slowly revealed trips with A♣9♣, and that was good for the pot & a stack of around 600,000.

With around 30,000 in the pot on a 3♥J♣9♠K♦ board, the hijack checked and then called a bet of 20,000 from Jordan Westmorland on the button.
They saw a 3♦ hit the river and once the action was checked over to Westmorland, he fired 75,000. The hijack had less than that behind and eventually decided to fold, which gave Westmorland a stack of almost 400,000.
