Level: 22

Blinds: 25,000/50,000

Ante: 6,000

Break With 135 Remaining

Level 21 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Only 135 players remain in contention and 119 will make the cut for Day 2 unless several players are eliminated at the same time on the money bubble. Stay tuned to find out what is going to happen close to the paid places after the scheduled five-minute break.

One Double and One Bustout

Level 21 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Kzzon eliminated
Kzzon eliminated

The field is racing towards the money bubble with 138 players remaining and "joaommr" avoided disappointment for now when they doubled through Eder "edercampana" Campana in the following preflop all-in.

"joaommr": {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Eder "edercampana" Campana: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Campana spiked an additional gutshot on the {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop but the {j-Hearts} turn and {4-Spades} river were both blanks.

Alfred "Kzzon" Karlsson was not as fortunate as his dominated pair found no help against "the_snail03" from the UK.

Alfred "Kzzon" Karlsson: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
"the_snail03": {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

The board brought {k-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and that spelled the end for the Swede.

Reis Can't Hold With Kings

Level 21 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Fernando "fviana" Viana raised it up from the under-the-gun position and then called the shove of a short-stacked Flavio "flavioreis88" Reis in the hijack to set up the following showdown.

Flavio "flavioreis88" Reis: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Fernando "fviana" Viana: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

The deadly ace instantly appeared on the {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop and neither the {8-Diamonds} turn nor the {3-Diamonds} river provided any help.

No Cash for Mustafov

Level 21 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
FeriBo eliminated by woodatburn
FeriBo eliminated by woodatburn

Facing a raise by "woodatburn" in the hijack, Fahredin "FeriBo" Mustafov moved in with his short stack from the cutoff and was called immediately.

Fahredin "FeriBo" Mustafov: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
"woodatburn": {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

There was no help for the Bulgarian on the {q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Hearts} board and he departed in 151st place.

Dattani and "mahairong" Among Next Casualties

Level 21 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
FreelancerZZ eliminated
FreelancerZZ eliminated

Michel "FreeLancerZZ" Dattani had survived with a very short stack and then jammed it in from the small blind as the entire table folded to him. "RAAR1010" called from the big blind to set up the following showdown.

Michel "FreeLancerZZ" Dattani: {9-Spades}{7-Clubs}
"RAAR1010": {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

As the board came {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{4-Spades}{6-Hearts}{k-Clubs}, Dattani wound up drawing dead on the turn already.

"mahairong" got it in from the {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} out of the small blind when he faced the {k-Hearts}{10-Spades} of "zerodeda" on the button and the {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{2-Spades} board was all but a tease, as no ace or club appeared anymore.

Fewer Than 150 Players Remain

Level 21 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

As the players keep bowing out, the fashion appears to be very similar as frequent coin flips take place.

One of them was between "1Zoki" with the {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} and Carlos "cyphellus" Chang with the {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}.

The pocket pair held up thanks to a {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{q-Spades} board and the field has already dropped below 150 contenders.

Level: 21

Blinds: 20,000/40,000

Ante: 5,000

Updated Top 10 Stacks

Level 20 : 17,500/35,000, 4,500 ante

Two Down in Quick Succession

Level 20 : 17,500/35,000, 4,500 ante

In a pot worth more than 2.5 million, "kalaisin?" in the small blind and "Prof. Hitman" got their chips in with the former at risk.

"kalaisin?": {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
"Prof. Hitman": {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The {9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs} board ensured that the kicker played a pivotal role.

A couple of hands later, "T3G3S" was all-in with a severe short stack holding the {j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and Guilherme "teruliro" Orrico called out of the big blind with {a-Spades}{8-Clubs}. The {k-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Spades}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} board provided no help to the player at risk.

There are plenty of chips and well-known players remaining at that very table and their counts can be found below.
