Ferreira Busts One and Takes From Ilie Too
Level 21
: 8,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Christina Ilie opened the action to 32,000 and a player moved all in for 59,000. Martin Ferreira flat called behind and when the action came back to Ilie, she did the same.
On the 
flop, Ilie checked to Ferreira who bet 42,000 and it was enough to convince Ilie to fold. It was the right choice as Ferreira turned over two pair with 
and his opponent was in big trouble with a gutshot or running outs only with 
in the hole.
The 
turn, gave him a little hope but the 
river locked it up for Ferreira.

No Action for Moneymaker
Level 22
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Feature Table: Victor Nitel opened to 42,000 in early position with 
and Chris Moneymaker was the only player to come along, calling from the small blind with 
.
The board came a dry 
and it went check-check. The turn gave Moneymaker a full house and he elected to check, with Nitel checking it back. Moneymaker went for a third check on the river and Nitel didn't take the bait checking it back. "I think you lost the min and I won the max" said Moneymaker once the hand had played out.

Thongnonsung Finds Help
Level 22
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Rungarun Thononsung opened the hijack to 40,000 and one player moved all in for 149,000 on the button. The player in the small blind went all in over the top and after tanking, Thongnonsung made the call.
Rungarun Thongnonsung: 
Opponent one: 
Opponent two: 
The shortest stack had pocket-sixes and Thongnonsung was at risk with ace-queen to pocket-kings. The flop came 
, which was no help to her but the turn was exactly what she was looking for and she celebrated with a "Yes!" The 
completed the board and she is flying with around 300,000 more than the average now.

Bateson Closing in on Seven Figures After Multi-Way Clash
Level 22
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
After reaching the final table at the Hippodrome leg of the tour recently, Justin Bateson knows what it is like to come close to winning a Platinum Pass.
Things are looking a lot more promising after he moved all in over one player, only to get called by another and win the three-way showdown. Bateson had king-jack against pocket eights and jack-ten and when the flop came with a jack and a ten, it was looking like big trouble for Bateson, until he was saved by a king on the river.

Kassouf Eliminated
Level 23
: 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Feature Table: Victor Nitel open limped the hijack and William Kassouf decided the time was right to get the last 106,000 chips in. Nitel looked a little unsure but at first but ultimately found a call after Kassouf's table chat appeared to talk him into it.
Victor Nitel:
William Kassouf: 
There was no sweat on the 
flop, with Nitel hitting the stone cold nuts. The 
turn and 
river were irrelevant and Nitel sends Kassouf to the rail.
