Level 18 : 15,000/30,000, 3,750 ante
Prof. Hitman eliminated
Prof. Hitman eliminated

First to act, a short-stacked "Prof. Hitman" jammed with the {k-Clubs}{9-Spades} and found a caller in Mikita "fish2013" Badziakouski in the hijack, who tabled the {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}.

It was all but over on the {a-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop and the {7-Hearts} turn made things official, the {5-Clubs} river became a mere formality.

The final three tables were barely set when another three-way all in showdown emerged as all the chips went in preflop.

Christoph "26071985" Vogelsang: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Ole "wizowizo" Schemion: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Jorma "jobetzu" Nuutinen: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

The board ran out {j-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{a-Spades} and Schemion rivered the best hand.

Oliveira Doubles; Hartmann Doesn't

Level 18 : 15,000/30,000, 3,750 ante
Hartmann vs Mulder
Hartmann vs Mulder

Filipe "Zagazaur" Oliveira was at risk in a battle hijack versus cutoff and needed help, as "despedespi33" held the dominating ace one seat over.

Filipe "Zagazaur" Oliveira: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
despedespi33: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

On a board of {a-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, Oliveira nailed running diamonds to remain in contention.

Pascal "Päffchen" Hartmann was not as fortunate in his final showdown when he jammed the cutoff with the {a-Spades}{10-Spades} and was called by Teun "tinnoemulder" Mulder in the small blind with the {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}. Only one ten and two spades were not enough on the {k-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades} board as Mulder remained ahead on all streets.

Karmatckii Departs

Level 18 : 15,000/30,000, 3,750 ante

Before the blinds had gone up, Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson was eliminated and the same fate awaited Arsenii "josef_shvejk" Karmatckii shortly after.

Down to very few blinds he was all-in with the {9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and Joao "Naza114" Vieira called in the big blind with the {j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}. The high card played on the {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} board and that reduced the field to the final 26 contenders.

Three Down in A Hurry

Level 17 : 12,500/25,000, 3,250 ante
Triple Up for Geilich
Triple Up for Geilich

Within a few minutes only, the field has been whittled down from 31 to 28 contenders.

First to go was Dutchman Jans "Graftekkel" Arends who jammed {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for crumbs and was called by Jorma "jobetzr" Nuutinen in the big blind with the {q-Spades}{9-Hearts}. On a board of {q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{6-Spades}{k-Diamonds}, Nuutinen flopped a pair of queens.

Patrick "pads1161" Leonard had dropped below a million and was then involved in a three-way all-in which he kicked off with a raise to 53,500. Michael "merla888" Gathy called in the hijack and Ludovic "ludovi333" Geilich jammed the button for 533,749. Leonard jammed for 839,902 and Gathy called.

Ludovic "ludovi333" Geilich: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Michael "merla888" Gathy: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Patrick "pads1161" Leonard: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Leonard flopped a set on {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs} but still came up third-best on the {k-Clubs} turn and {8-Clubs} river runout as Geilich scored a miracle triple up.

Last but not least, Job "DeadNylan" Greben defended the big blind against Chris "Big Huni" Hunichen and check-called 37,125 on the {k-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Spades} flop. Greben check-called another 122,513 on the {6-Hearts} turn and check-called all-in for 416,958 on the {8-Diamonds} river. The Dutchman tabled {j-Spades}{10-Clubs} but Hunichen had the nuts with {a-Spades}{9-Spades}.

Vieira Holds With Kings

Level 17 : 12,500/25,000, 3,250 ante

Sami "Lrslzk" Kelopuro raised to 55,000 and Job "DeadNylan" Greben three-bet to 155,000 from two seats over. Joao "Naza114" Vieira then four-bet jammed the button for 505,040 and was called only by Greben.

Joao "Naza114" Vieira: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Job "DeadNylan" Greben: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

As the board ran out {q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, Vieira doubled to climb above one million in chips.

Frank Eliminated; gathy Doubles

Level 17 : 12,500/25,000, 3,250 ante

Christopher "lissi stinkt" Frank got his short stack in with the 55d5h] and was called by "xnrobix" on the button with the {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}.

On a board of {8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} nothing changed and that spelled the end for Frank.

A couple of hands later, Timothy "Tim0thee" Adams raised to 95,000 from the small blind and called the shove of Michael "merla888" Gathy for 707,796 in the big blind.

Michael "merla888" Gathy: {a-Clubs}{4-Spades}
Timothy "Tim0thee" Adams: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

The board ran out {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for Gathy to spike the ace on the flop.

One hand later, Pascal "Päffchen" Hartmann raised to 40,000 and Sami "Lrslzk" Kelopuro three-bet to 110,000. Japan's "fd39" called in the big blind and Hartmann folded.
