Wigg Runs Out of Chips

Level 20 : 17,500/35,000, 4,500 ante
Bomber&Granater eliminated
Bomber&Granater eliminated

A short-stacked Anton "Bomber&Granater" Wigg moved all in for just over 12 big blinds and he picked up a caller in Rodrigo "digopapel" Semeghini from the hijack as the rest of the table went out of the way.

Anton "Bomber&Granater" Wigg: {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}
Rodrigo "digopapel" Semeghini: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

On a board of {j-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}, Wigg all but got there but failed to catch a six or the fourth diamond to avoid the elimination.

Skipper22 eliminated

One of those classic races saw "Skipper22" at risk before the flop with the {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} and "slarki1" looked them up with the {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}.

The board fell {9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{3-Spades} to end all hopes on the turn already.

Level: 20

Blinds: 17,500/35,000

herojangbogo eliminated
herojangbogo eliminated

In a pot of just over one million in chips, "herojangbogo" from South Korea was the player at risk with {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades} and found themselves on the wrong end of a cooler. Eder "edercampana" tabled the {k-Clubs}{k-Spades} from under the gun and the {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{5-Hearts} kept kings as the best hand.

McDermott and Zhou Eliminated

Level 19 : 15,000/30,000, 3,750 ante

Alisson "heyalisson" Piekazewicz raised it up to 60,000 on the button and Luke "lb6121" Schwartz three-bet to 240,000 in the small blind. Sven "SvenCalls" McDermott did not call but jam for 368,531 and Schwartz was the only caller.

Sven "SvenCalls" McDermott: {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Luke "lb6121" Schwartz: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

McDermott spiked a flushdraw but came up blank on the {j-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{j-Spades}{5-Clubs}{j-Clubs} board.

At nearly the same time on another table, Chun Lei "SamRostan" Zhou three-bet jammed his short stack and was called by initial raiser Rodrigo "SELOUAN1991" Selouan.

Chun Lei "SamRostan" Zhou: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Rodrigo "SELOUAN1991" Selouan: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

As the board ran out {10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}, the jacks sent the High Roller from Macau to the rail.

"Faboulus888" raised it up to 52,500 and was called by "fishchm" from one seat over. In the small blind, "tekdas" also called only for "Durrden" in the big blind to make it 287,500 to go. "Faboulus888" jammed for 1,544,530 and "fishchm" moved in over the top to force out everyone else.

"Faboulus888": {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
"fishchm": {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The {j-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Clubs} board kept kings in the lead as "fishchm" vaulted into a top five stack.
