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

Francisco "Tomatee" Benitez limped into the pot from early position and "merlow3" raised to 90,000 in the hijack. Job "DeadNylan" Greben called in the cutoff and action folded back to Benitez, who jammed for 607,000. "merlow3" folded and Greben called.

Francisco "Tomatee" Benitez: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Job "DeadNylan" Greben: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

Greben was out in front all the way as the flop {3-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Hearts} and turn {2-Hearts} appeared, leaving Benitez in need of hitting an ace or king on the river to stay alive. Fortune favored him as the river {k-Spades} came to give him a pair of kings and score the double, leaving Greben under 10 big blinds after the hand was over.

Meanwhile, Mike "SirWatts" Watson was eliminated on another table in 37th place and 36 players now remain.

Thomas Muehloecker
Thomas Muehloecker

Thomas "WushuTM" Muehloecker saw action folded to him in the hijack and raised to 63,600. PaGaOVelhinho three-bet to 180,000 on the button and action folded back to Muehloecker, who called.

The flop came {j-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and Muehloecker checked. PaGaOVelhinho made a continuation-bet of 143,500 and Muehloecker called.

The turn was {3-Hearts} and Muehloecker checked again. PaGaOVelhinho went all in for 822,000 effective, putting Muehloecker to a decision for their tournament life that sent them into their time bank. Eventually, they found a call.

Thomas "WushuTM" Muehloecker: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
"PaGaOVelhinho": {a-Hearts}{2-Spades}

Muehloecker had made the right call with his pair of eights, finding himself needing to fade the 11 cards in the deck that would spell disaster for him. Unfortunately for him, the river {a-Diamonds} gave "PaGaOVelhinho" a pair of aces and eliminated Muehloecker from the tournament.

Shortly before Muehloecker's elimination, "HITRII999" and "Dowgh-Santos" were also knocked out, and 37 players now remain.

Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle opened to 60,000 in middle position and "Daghemunguu" three-bet to 177,500 on the button. Action folded back to Rolle and he four-bet shoved for 880,500. "Daghemunguu" called.

Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle: {a-Spades}{4-Spades}
"Daghemunguu": {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Rolle was in trouble and the flop {j-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} was of no help to him. The turn {8-Spades} left him with one shot at staying alive, but it came on the river {a-Diamonds} to put him out in front with aces up and score the double.

Level 17 : 12,500/25,000, 3,250 ante
"cocojamb0"
"cocojamb0"

Hand #1: Action folded around to "Korrinho," who opened to 52,500 in the cutoff. Ognyan "cocojamb0" Dimov three-bet shoved for 289,000 on the button action made its way back to "Korrinho," who called.

"Korrinho": {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Ognyan "cocojamb0" Dimov: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Dimov was ahead but not for long as the flop {4-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Spades} put "Korrinho" out in front with two pair, tens and fours. The turn [k] gave Dimov four extra outs at Broadway, but the river {5-Hearts} left him dry and out of chips to result in his elimination from the tournament.

Arsenii "josef_shvejk" Karmatckii opened to 50,000 under the gun and received a call from Alexandros "mexican222" Kolonias, who was on his direct left. Conor "1_conor_b_1" Beresford three-bet jammed for 886,000 in the cutoff and action folded back to Kolonias, who called all in for 722,000.

Alexandros "mexican222" Kolonias: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Conor "1_conor_b_1" Beresford: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Beresford was ahead and the flop {q-Spades}{5-Spades}{10-Clubs} gave him top set, leaving Kolonias with four outs at Broadway and two chances to hit it. He would only need one, as the turn {k-Diamonds} improved him and made him the one who would need to fade the board pairing in order to stay alive. The river {3-Spades} complied, and the pot was shipped his way, leaving Beresford with only 164,000 behind after the hand.

Gianluca Speranza
Gianluca Speranza

Gianluca "Tankanza" Speranza saw action folded to him in the cutoff and jammed for 326,000. Juan "Malaka$tyle" Pardo called in the big blind.

Gianluca "Tankanza" Speranza: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Juan "Malaka$tyle" Pardo: {q-Spades}{j-Hearts}

Speranza was out in front going to the flop, which came {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} to give both players trips and add three outs to a chop to Pardo's tally. A chop would become impossible as the turn {q-Diamonds} improved Pardo to a full house, leaving Speranza in need of hitting an ace on the river to stay alive. He was unable to do so as it fell {6-Hearts} and Speranza was eliminated in 49th place, bringing the tournament down to six full tables as it enters its next five-minute break.
