"Good one," Imad Derwiche said as he slowly peeled his first card.

"Oh la la," he continued, looking at his four cards one-by-one before raising to 210,000 in the hijack. Nino Pansier then moved all in from the small blind, and Derwiche called for 400,000.

Imad Derwiche: A♦K♣8♥3♥ All in
Nino Pansier: J♦J♥6♥2♦

Pansier was looking for a bustout for the second straight hand, but he fell behind on the A♣Q♦K♦ flop. The turn, though, was the J♣ to give him a set, and the 5♥ river sealed Derwiche's elimination in 13th place.

Level 17 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Right after the bubble burst, Gergo Nagy got in his last 250,000 from the big blind on a flop of K♥3♠9♦ and Nino Pansier called in the hijack.

Gergo Nagy: K♦J♠6♦3♣ All in
Nino Pansier: A♣Q♥10♠4♥

Nagy was ahead with his two pair against Pansier's straight draw, and the board ran out 6♣5♦ to earn him a double up.

Pansier took another shot at knocking out a player the next hand, as Biao Ding put in his last 320,000 on the button and Pansier called in the big blind.

Biao Ding: A♥J♣8♣4♣ All in
Nino Pansier: K♣K♦8♠2♠

Ding needed to improve against Pansier's kings, but the 9♠6♠4♠ flop gave Pansier a flush. Ding was drawing dead by the K♠ turn, and Pansier even improved to a full house on the 6♦ river to seal the pot and bust Ding in 15th place.
