Jan "hownorez" Nakladal Eliminated in 11th Place ($11,537)

Level 39 : 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante

"TonyGPT" raised to 1,400,000 from under the gun, and big stack Pavel "silentm0de" Plesuv called next to act. A few seats over, Jan "hownorez" Nakladal three bet shoved for over 9.6 million. "TonyGPT" folded, but Plesuv made the call holding {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}. He was well behind the {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} of Nakladal, and the flop of {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} didn't change much.

The {4-Diamonds} on the turn gave Plesuv a flush draw, but he wouldn't need it, as the {q-Spades} completed the board to eliminated Nakladal in rough fashion. Meanwhile, Pavel "silentm0de" Plesuv is now the chip leader on the bubble of the final table.

Braga Doubles Into the Chip Lead

Level 38 : 350,000/700,000, 87,500 ante

Gerson "Gerson'GR'" Braga raised under the gun to 1,400,000, and in the small blind, German "germaxi" Christiansen three bet to 4,550,000. Action was back on Braga, and he four bet to 17,500,000, leaving himself just a few chips behind. Christiansen raised to put Braga all in, and we had a 37 million chip flip to decide the chip leader.

Gerson "Gerson'GR'" Braga: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}
German "germaxi" Christiansen: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

The flop of {q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades} all but ended the drama, as Braga had flopped top set, and the {7-Clubs} turn sealed the massive double for Braga.

"GamblingPays" Eliminated in 12th Place ($7,283)

Level 38 : 350,000/700,000, 87,500 ante

German "germaxi" Christiansen raised on the button, to 1,400,000, and next to act, "GamblingPays" reraised to 6,300,000, leaving behind less than one big blind. Christiansen didn't take long to raise to set "GamblingPays" all in, and they started to drain their time bank, as short stack "zz219" was already all in on the other table.

As soon as "zz219" busted, "GamblingPays" called all in, knowing they would hit the pay jump. They showed {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}, but they were well behind the {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} of Christiansen. The flop of {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts} meant that just two aces would work for "GamblingPays" now, but none of those cards came on the turn or river.

With that, just 11 players remain now!

Ricardo Caprichoso

Action folded all the way to Ricardo "10rmc10.com" Caprichoso in the small blind, and they moved all in for eight million and change. "K0SICE" called for most of their stack in the big blind with a monster hand, {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}, and Caprichoso was miles behind with {k-Hearts}{3-Spades}.

Caprichoso had some hope after the flop came down {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, but no further help would come on the turn or river.

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 25,000 ante
Pavel Plesuv
Pavel Plesuv

Action folded to Pavel "silentm0de" Plesuv on the button, and he moved all in, having both blinds covered easily. The small blind, "PaPi7o92" called all in for their final 3,700,000 and change with {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}, and they were flipping against the {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} held by Plesuv.

The flop of {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{2-Spades} missed both players, as did the {6-Diamonds} turn. However, the {10-Spades} completed the board, giving Plesuv a winning pair of tens, and a seven million chip pot to boot.

With that, just four tables remain. A full round of chip counts for all players still remaining will be posted shortly.

"K0SICE" Scores Massive Double Up

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Action folded all the way around to "K0SICE" in the small blind, and they limped in. Chip leader "dtminator" raised to 280,000, and "K0SICE" came back with a raise to a million even. "dtminator" called that bet, and the flop came down {5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}.

"K0SICE" bet 480,000, "dtminator" called, and the {k-Clubs} came on the turn. "K0SICE" fired 720,000, "dtminator" again called, and the {3-Hearts} completed the board. "K0SICE" went for it all, moving all in for 2,921,692, and like they had done on every street, "dtminator" made the call, showing {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} for top pair.

Sehnem Scores Massive Double With Kings

Level 26 : 35,000/70,000, 8,750 ante

"knudskerif" raised to 126,000 from early position, and two seats over, "mvpalls" reraised to 375,000. It folded to Ricardo "rsehnem77" Sehnem in the big blind, and he put out a four bet to 924,000 even.

Back to "mvpalls", they would five bet shove for 3.9 million, and Sehnem called for just a few thousand less with {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}. He was a big favorite over the {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} held by "mvpalls", and the kings would hold on a runout of {j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}.

That pot left "mvpalls" with just 50,000, but they have scored multiple double ups since, and are suddenly back over a million chips.
