Christian Zetzsche

Level 28 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

The field has been whittled down to the final 48 players and they are still on a pay jump and now on a scheduled five-minute break.

Michael "imluckbox" Addamo was the chip leader on the previous break but has become the shortest stack after a torrid run as of lately. He also lost the last flip against Guilherme "teruliro" Orrico for a pot of 7.9 million.

Guilherme "teruliro" Orrico:
Michael "imluckbox" Addamo:

The board ran out to leave Addamo with one big blind and some antes.

Level 29 : 70,000/140,000, 17,500 ante

In the first hand after the break, "LiveTogether" missed out on the pay jump after they succumbed in the following flip.

LiveTogether:
Michael "M_Acevedo" Acevedo:

The board provided no help and Michael "M_Acevedo" Acevedo dragged in the pot.

The floodgates opened right after with more money locked up as "exitonlyKK" and "zas91" bowed out at the same time on separate tables.

"exitonlyKK" check-shoved a three-way flop of flop when facing a bet of 300,000 by Mike "gorodski" Gorodinsky in the cutoff and a call by Fernando "fviana" Viana in the small blind. Gorodinsky folded and Viana snap-called.

Fernando "fviana" Viana:
"exitonlyKK":

The turn brought some miracle outs but the river was a blank.

And it would only take one more hand to see "HITRII999" and Michael "imluckbox" Addamo on the rail as the field was reduced to 43 contenders.

Fernando "fviana" Viana	7,086,083 3,968,843	3,968,843

Level 29 : 70,000/140,000, 17,500 ante

The next two players to bust were "SmilleThHero" and Alexander "BIack88" Trofimov. The former had survived the pay jump as one of the shortest stacks while Trofimov clashed once more with Jerry "Perrymejsen" Odeen and came up second-best again.

Trofimov min-raised from under the gun and Odeen three-bet to 1,050,000 in the small blind. That prompted the shove of Trofimov for 2.3 illion and Odeen called.

Alexander "BIack88" Trofimov:
Jerry "Perrymejsen" Odeen:

As the board fell , Odeen flopped a set and made a full house for good measure to further climb up the leaderboard with 41 players remaining.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jerry "Perrymejsen" Odeen	10,062,829 4,942,769	4,942,769

"H.R.A.17":
