Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

With some 45,000 in the middle to the A♠A♣2♥ flop, Hennie Appel in the small blind got his shorter stack into the middle and was up against Imran Bhojani on the button.

Hennie Appel: A♦3♣ All in
Imran Bhojani: A♥7♥

A chop was possible but unlikely once the 7♣ fell on the turn. The river was the 10♥ and Appel was gone.

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

After the most recent setback, Giovanni Zanette was back down to the starting stack and soon after all-in against NT.

Giovanni Zanette: A♥4♦ All in
NT: A♣8♣

The kicker played on the [6c3d2d1hJs] runout and that spelled the end for Zanette. Soon after, Muddassir Ameer disappeared from the feature table and that brought the flight down to the last 22 contenders.

Over on the outer tables, NT tangled with Lukman A in a three-bet pot to the K♣Q♣2♠ flop. It checked to NT and he fired a bet of 20,000 to force out his opponent. NT flashed his K♥Q♥ for two pair and Lukman A patted himself on the back as he briefly exposed the 10♦10♥ before sending them into the muck.

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

On the heads-up turn of K♥8♦5♣A♠, Imran Bhojani bet 6,000 from an early position and then folded to a raise worth 16,000 by Edgar Antezana in the next seat.

Shortly after on the same table, the flop showed J♠8♠6♣ and Bhojani as well as Sugen Singh invested 20,000 each. They checked the K♣ turn and the A♦ fell on the river. Bhojani led for 26,500 and Singh reluctantly called.

Bhojani tabled the A♠J♣ for two pair and Singh sighed, then exposed his K♦Q♥ from near the muck.

In the meanwhile, Chandra Deib lost the battle with her severe short stack and the field was reduced to 19 players.

Johan De Graaff raised to 8,000 and was called by Nic Ioannoy in the small blind. "I just have to decide if I raise or call, no fold here," NT joked, looked at his cards and called from the big blind.

NT declared blind checks by himself and Ioannoy but the latter shook his head, then checked the 9♠7♦3♦ flop regardless. NT checked and De Graaff checked behind. The J♣ turn was checked to De Graaff, who bet 20,000 to win the pot, as Ioannoy mucked the 8♥7♠.
