Egi Adriaans Eliminated in 5th Place ($25,769)

Level 31 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Egi Adriaans
Egi Adriaans

From under the gun, Andrew Warren raised to 250,000 as Egi Adriaans was already all in for his ante. The action passed round to Joris Springael in the big blind, and he moved all in. Warren folded, and the cards were tabled.

Adriaans: {Q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Springael: {K-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The board ran out {A-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and Adriaans quintupled up.

Two hands later, Adriaans was all in for his big blind for just 30,000, and Springael raised the button to 200,000. Andrew Warren folded in the small blind and the cards were tabled.

Adriaans: {J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Springael: {8-Spades}{2-Clubs}

The board ran out {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Spades} and Adriaans was eliminated in 5th place for a $25,769 payday.

Andrew Warren Doubles After Fading the World

Level 30 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Andrew Warren
Andrew Warren

From the cutoff, Joe Serock opened to 160,000 and Joris Springael three-bet the button to 350,000. With the action on Andrew Warren in the small blind, he moved all in for 885,000.

Serock folded, and Springael called.

Warren: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Springael: {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

The flop was a sweat-tastic {4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} meaning Warren would have to fade a diamond, ace, eight or three to double.

The turn of the {10-Spades} changed little, and when the river of the {4-Clubs} completed the board, Warren doubled through to 2,060,000 in chips.

Martin Soukup Eliminated in 6th Place ($20,076)

Level 29 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Martin Soukup
Martin Soukup

Joe Serock min-raised to 120,000 from the hijack and Martin Soukup called in the big blind to see a {6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop.

Soukup open-shoved his last 530,000 into the middle, and Serock called.

Serock: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}
Soukup: {6-Spades}{5-Hearts}

Soukup was trailing but had backdoor straight outs to go along with his six and five. The turn was one of those cards as it landed the {5-Spades}.

Soukup now needed to fade any ace, eight or three to ensure his double, but when the dealer dropped the {8-Hearts} on the river, the 2016 Unibet Open Malta winner would be eliminated in 6th place for a $20,076 payday. Serock is now sitting on 3.3 million in chips.

Rex Clinkscales Eliminated in 7th Place ($16,114)

Level 29 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Rex Clinkscales
Rex Clinkscales

The action folded to Rex Clinkscales on the button, and he pushed all in for roughly 710,000. Jordan Cristos called in the big blind, and the cards were tabled.

Clinkscales: {K-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Cristos: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}

The dealer spread a {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop to give Clinkscales outs to a backdoor straight draw to go along with his pair outs. The turn of the {5-Hearts} would see those backdoor outs come true now to leave Clinkscales drawing to a king, nine or seven.

The river landed the {6-Hearts}, and Clinkscales was eliminated in 7th place for a $16,114 payday as Cristos saw his stack motor up to 5.4 million in chips.

Andrey Plotnikov Eliminated in 8th Place ($13,384)

Level 29 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Andrey Plotnikov
Andrey Plotnikov

From under the gun, Andrey Plotnikov pushed all in for his last 750,000. The action folded to Egi Adriaans, and he called from the button.

Plotnikov: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Adriaans: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

With Plotnikov at-risk and trailing, the {9-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds} furthered his disadvantage as the {5-Spades} landed on the turn.

Needing only an ace or queen to stay alive, the river would fall the {6-Hearts}, and Plotnikov would be eliminated in 8th place for a $13,384 payday as Adriaans climbs to 2.7 million in chips.

Ryan Readenour Eliminated in 9th Place ($11,320)

Level 28 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Ryan Readenour
Ryan Readenour

The action folded to Ryan Readenour in the small blind, and he limped in. Jordan Cristos checked his option in the big blind, and the dealer fanned a {4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{Q-Spades} flop.

Readenour led out for 135,000 and Cristos called as the {9-Spades} laned on the turn. Readenour pushed all in for roughly 370,000, and Cristos quickly called.

Readenour: {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Cristos: {Q-Clubs}{3-Spades}

Cristos held two-pair, and for Readenour to stay alive, he would need to find a king or eight.

The river fell the {5-Spades}, and Readenour was eliminated in 9th place for a $11,320 payday as Cristos climbed to over 4.2 million in chips.
