Within one minute three players were eliminated right before the blinds went up.

Among them was Hungary's "xnrobix" who got the short stack in from under the gun and was isolated by Francisco "Tomatee" Benitez on the button.

"xnrobix": {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Francisco "Tomatee" Benitez: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

On a board of {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} neither player hit and that kept ace-queen high in the lead.

Leonard vs Mateos
Leonard vs Mateos

Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos started the action with a button raise to 16,400 and Patrick "pads1161" Leonard moved all in for the 188,204 he had left behind. Mateos didn't snap call but eventually clicked the button to look up Leonard.

Patrick "pads1161" Leonard: {a-Spades}{4-Spades}
Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos: {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}

Leonard picked up counterfeit outs on the {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop, the nut flush draw on the {k-Spades} turn, yet he bricked all of it on the {2-Diamonds} river.

Meran eliminated by Passiveaggro
Meran eliminated by Passiveaggro

Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger raised to 16,800 on the button and a short stacked Alberto "alberto.m7" Meran moved all in for 56,405 in the small blind. "Passiveaggro" isolated with a big blind shove for 268,849 total and Eibinger eventually called to put two players at risk.

Alberto "alberto.m7" Meran: {a-Spades}{5-Clubs}
"Passiveaggro": {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger: {k-Spades}{8-Hearts}

Eibinger outflopped both opponents on {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and remained in the lead on the {j-Diamonds} turn. However, the {10-Clubs} river gave "Passiveaggro" a straight, the bounty and more than a double up.

Conor "1_conor_b_1" Beresford: {a-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Liviu "0human0" Ignat: {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}

The {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades} board gave Ignat two pair and the bounty prize for eliminating Beresford, who departed on the first bullet with one $2,500 bounty to show for.

Pedersen No More; "roo_400" Doubles Through Eibinger

Level 9 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
roo_400 vs Eibinger
roo_400 vs Eibinger

Team Pokercode has suffered two setbacks when Thomas "MarToMchat" Boivin knocked out Simon "Igorkarkarof" Pedersen and Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger then doubled "roo_400" in a big pot.

Pedersen failed to hold up with {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs} in the big blind as Boivin on the button with the {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts} got there on a {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}{3-Hearts}{6-Spades}{j-Clubs} board.

"roo_400" flat-called a raise to 17,600 while on the button and Eibinger squeezed to 100,000 in the big blind. Scott "Aggro Santos" Margereson called and so did "roo_400". The trio checked the {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop and Eibinger check-shoved the {7-Hearts} turn for 758,583 when "roo_400" had bet 104,000.

Margereson folded and "roo_400" called.

"roo_400": {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Matthias "iambest2" Eibinger: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

The {7-Diamonds} river brought no upset as "roo_400" further improved to a full house.

Benitez vs Muehloecker
Benitez vs Muehloecker

Thomas "WushuTM" Muehloecker raised to 17,600 and "serggorelyi7" three-bet to 56,000 in the cutoff. Francisco "Tomatee" Benitez then jammed the big blind for 357,890 and Muehloecker reshoved, which forced out "serggorelyi7".

Francisco "Tomatee" Benitez: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Thomas "WushuTM" Muehloecker: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

The {9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs} board delivered no help as Benitez was gone on the first bullet.

Daris "DEX888" Pedes was next to depart, on his second entry, when Dinesh "NastyMinder" Alt flopped a straight with {10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} on a board of {9-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Spades}{j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. Pedes had only turned top pair with {j-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and was gone.

Bounties for Martirosian and Seiji

Level 10 : 4,500/9,000, 1,125 ante

Artur "mararthur1" Martirosian had re-entered and raised to 19,800. Hungary's "Wildace_hun" then shoved the button for 111,793 and Martirosian called.

"Wildace_hun": {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Artur "mararthur1" Martirosian: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Martirosian flopped a draw on {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{8-Spades} and got there on the {a-Spades} turn. No ace or queen followed on the river as the {8-Diamonds} was a blank.

Shortly after on a different table, Rodrigo "Seijistar" Seiji flipped with {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} against the {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts} of Liviu "0human0" Ignat and hit running clubs on a {j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} board to scoop the bounty prize.
