Level 23 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 6,000 ante

Former SCOOP-H Main Event champion Talal "raidalot Shakerchi has been eliminated just a few spots shy of the money when he lost a flip with A♠K♠ against the J♣J♥ of Daniel "DANMERRRRRRR" Merrilees. The Q♥3♠2♥7♥Q♦ board was no threat for jacks and suddenly there were just 57 players remaining.

Prior to that, Javier "que_te_crio" Fernandez, Brunno "botteonpoker" Botteon, and Laurynas "LaurisL91" Levinskas all bowed out as well.

Fernandez could not get there with A♥J♣ to beat the 9♠9♦ of [Removed:575] as the 10♠7♠4♣5♥K♦ board provided no help at all.

Botteon was at risk out of the big blind in a massive 4.6 million pot with A♥Q♠ following a limp by Aleksejs "APonakov" Ponakovs and a raise to 170,000 by Laszlo "omaha4rollz" Bujtas in the cutoff. Ponakovs folded and Bujtas made the call.

Brunno "botteonpoker" Botteon: A♥Q♠
Laszlo "omaha4rollz" Bujtas: A♦K♠

The 7♦3♣2♦K♣7♣ board left Botteon drawing dead on the turn.
