Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Luis Heredia was all-in for 1,200,000 and at risk against Gianluca Speranza.

Luis Heredia: 10♠10♣ All in
Gianluca Speranza: A♦J♥

It was a fair fight, but not after the flop came A♥J♣5♠, and Heredia was drawing dead after the A♠ turn gave Speranza a full house, the 3♣ river completing the board.

Heredia looked devastated at the runout, and wished the table good luck before leaving.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Aiguo Xu was all-in for around 120,000 and at risk against Mateusz Jablonski.

Aiguo Xu: K♠10♥ All in
Mateusz Jablonski: K♥Q♦

Xu was dominated and Jablonski's kicker played as both players made trip kings across the K♦8♣6♥J♦K♣ runout.

Chatterbox Fehmi Cherif, who had been a polarizing presence at the tables, some players seeming to enjoy his banter, others not so much, was also seen exiting the tournament area.
