German "germaxi" Christiansen Eliminated in 10th Place ($9,396)

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

After an under the gun raise from Gerson "Gerson'GR'" Braga, German "germaxi" Christiansen moved all in for 12 million and change from the small blind. In the big blind, "K0SICE" would four bet shove for 22,273,574, and that got Braga to fold.

"K0SICE" showed {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}, and they were flipping against the Ace-King of Christiansen. For the second time in as many flips, Christiansen was left drawing to running cards after the {j-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs} gave his opponent top set, and once again, Christiansen would be drawing dead after the turn.

This time, however, it ended his tournament in 10th place, and with that, the final table is set. A seating chart with updated counts for all nine will be posted momentarily.

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 "10rmc10.com" Caprichoso Eliminated in 14th Place ($11,322)

Ricardo Caprichoso
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.

Ruzzi Doubles Through Nakladal

Level 37 : 300,000/600,000, 75,000 ante

In a rare sight, it was a limped pot preflop, as Jan "hownorez" Nakladal called in the small blind, and Matias "Maty25" Ruzzi checked his option. Both players checked the {8-Hearts}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop, but the {5-Clubs} turn would set the fireworks off.

Nakladal fired 948,750, and Ruzzi raised it up to 2,500,000. Nakladal would shove all in, and Ruzzi called off his final 11,585,560 with the nuts, {7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}. Nakladal showd {5-Spades}{4-Clubs}, and would need another pair in order to fill up and take down the pot.

However, the {k-Spades} completed the board, sending a massive pot over to Ruzzi.
