"Khrristian18" Eliminated in 15th Place ($18,770.11)

Frank Visser

Level 44 : Blinds 350,000/700,000, 87,500 ante

"Khrristian18" Eliminated in 15th Place ($18,770.11)

"Khrristian18" was down to less than two big blinds when Gabriel "aaurelio" Moura raised to 1,400,000 from under the gun. The action folded to "Khrristian18" in the small blind and they made the call, as did "FAPTOBbIY_BACK" in the big blind.

The flop came down J♦Q♣3♠ and "FAPTOBbIY_BACK" quickly check-folded his hand once Moura put out a continuation-bet of 770,000, leaving the other two players to showdown.

"Khrristian18": A♦5♥
Gabriel "aaurelio" Moura: A♥J♥

Moura was unbeknownst already in the lead preflop and his pair on the flop only solidified that position. "Khrristian18" was drawing very slim and the K♥ on the turn meant that their only hopes of getting a part of this pot would be via a chop. However, the 5♦ river paired their hand, and thus they were the first player to leave with $18,770.11 added to their PokerStars account.

Luis "luisnrd" Dorneles Eliminated in 16th Place ($13,272.45)

Level 44 : Blinds 350,000/700,000, 87,500 ante

Luis "luisnrd" Dorneles Eliminated in 16th Place ($13,272.45)

Vicente "vicenfish" Delgado raised to 1,449,000 from under the gun just as some new players came over from the now broken third table. Luis "luisnrd" Dorneles sat in the big blind and made a three-bet to 8,400,000. However, that was not the end of the preflop action as Delgado made a huge four-bet shove for 42,768,398, covering Dorneles by just one million.

Dorneles called as fast as lightning and the two players had created a massive chip lead pot of over 120 big blinds.

Luis "luisnrd" Dorneles: K♥K♣
Vicente "vicenfish" Delgado: A♦K♠

It was looking like Dorneles was the one who would secure the gargantuan stack of chips in the middle, but the A♠J♥8♦ flop was disastrous for the Brazilian. He could only look on as the final king failed to show its face on the J♦3♠ runout, and his name was greyed out in the lobby soon after.

"DerRappler" Eliminated in 17th Place ($13,727.45)

Level 44 : Blinds 350,000/700,000, 87,500 ante

"DerRappler" Eliminated in 17th Place ($13,727.45)

"rolandinjo" raised his button to 1,400,000 and "DerRappler" responded by three-betting his 15,834,904 stack all-in from the big blind. "rolandinjo" made the call and "DerRappler" was at risk to become the last player to leave before the final two tables were reached.

"DerRappler": 3♠3♥
"rolandinjo": A♣10♣

The flop brought some extra outs for "rolandinjo" in way of 9♣8♠Q♥ and the turn was the A♥ to put them firmly in the lead. The river remained free of threes when the J♣ upgraded "rolandinjo" to a straight and that meant the end for "DerRappler".

The final 16 players have now converged onto the last two tables of the tournament.

Moura Sneaks In a Double-Up Amongst the Carnage

Frank Visser

Level 43 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 75,000 ante

Most of the all-in situations have resulted in bust-outs so far, but that did not deter Gabriel "aaurelio" Moura from open-shoving his 5,365,916 stack from under the gun. "rolandinjo" was sitting on a healthy stack on the button and made the call, while the blinds got out of the way.

Gabriel "aaurelio" Moura: K♦Q♦
"rolandinjo": A♣10♦

"rolandinjo" had the slight edge, but once Moura flopped top pair on 7♥K♠4♠ he was left with only three direct outs and they did not arrive when a pair of ducks completed the board: 2♠2♥. Moura secured his double-up and play continued on the bubble of the final two tables.

Level 43 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 75,000 ante

"rmiguel2007" Eliminated in 18th Place ($13,272.45)

"IReadB00ks" opened the action with a raise to 1,000,000 as first to act. "rmiguel2007" was in the next seat over and three-bet all-in for 11,580,884 chips. It folded to "DerRappler" in the small blind who then put his own stack of 17,230,270 at risk. This was too much for "IReadB00ks", who let his hand go.

"rmiguel2007": 10♠10♣
"DerRappler": K♦K♠

"DerRappler" had woken up with kings and was a big favorite to score the knock-out. The 5♦9♥8♣4♦9♠ runout brought little opportunity for "rmiguel2007" to make something of his tens, and they stranded in 18th place.

"HemmingWai" Eliminated in 19th Place ($13,272.45)

Frank Visser

Level 42 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 62,500 ante

"HemmingWai" Eliminated in 19th Place ($13,272.45)

Luis "luisnrd" Dorneles open-raised from the cutoff to 1,025,000 before the action folded to "HemmingWai" in the big blind. They made a reraise to 4,000,000 and Dorneles complied with some extra chips.

The flop saw 2♠6♣Q♥ being put on the table and "HemmingWai" continued for another 4,000,000. Once more, Dorneles made the call and the J♣ turn was dealt.

"HemmingWai" now put his last 7,068,774 chips in the middle and Dorneles followed suit, covering his opponent by a mere 41,490 chips.

"HemmingWai": A♦7♣
Luis "luisnrd" Dorneles: A♥A♠

Dorneles had slow-played his aces to perfection, resulting in his opponent bluffing off their stack while drawing dead on the turn. "HemmingWai" saw the river 5♥ fall as a formality before their avatar disappeared from the table.

"BOSStouche" Eliminated in 20th Place ($13,272.45)

Frank Visser

Level 42 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 62,500 ante

"BOSStouche" Eliminated in 20th Place ($13,272.45)

The action folded to "IReadB00ks" in the small blind. They went all-in while covering the big blind "BOSStouche"s 5,245,925 stack, and "BOSStouche" made the call.

"BOSStouche": J♥9♠
"IReadB00ks": 5♣5♦

It was a flip, and "IReadB00ks" fives held on during the 4♦Q♣6♠K♦ runout. Now with some extra gutshot outs, "BOSStouche" needed to hit the river to stay in the tournament but they failed to do so when the 3♦ river was put on the virtual felt.

Thus, they were eliminated and took home a five-figure score for their efforts.
