Duta Eliminated by Ferreira Pais

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Antoine Saout had won a bigger pot off Mauricio Ferreira Pais before and after the dinner break. Up next, Ferreira Pais raised and received one call before Florian Duta shoved for 337,000 out of the blinds. Ferreira Pais went over the top and forced out Gary Solomons.

Florian Duta: {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Mauricio Ferreira Pais: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

The {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} board missed both players and Duta had to settle for 35th place.

Spragg Rises; Xu and Game Fall

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Steven Game
Steven Game

Steven Game was the first casualty right after the dinner break. He was at risk with {j-Spades}{10-Spades} against the {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs} of Kully Sidhu, who flopped best on the {q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{10-Clubs} board.

Hongting Xu followed moments later. Benjamin Spragg was involved as the open raiser and Xu jammed the small blind. Alex Whitenstall called in the big blind and folded to Spragg's isolation-shove.

Hongting Xu: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}
Benjamin Spragg: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The {9-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Diamonds} board kept jacks in the lead and Xu was the next to bow out.

Kumar Falls to Hecklen; Hasson Bad Beats Clark

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Ori Hasson
Ori Hasson

The cards were already on their backs when Gaurav Kumar was the player at risk but ahead with {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}. Table captain Henrik Hecklen held the {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} which found a flush draw on the {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} flop. The flush arrived on the {3-Diamonds} turn and the {5-Hearts} river spelled the end for Kumar in 38th place.

There was one more all-in showdown prior to the dinner break when Ori Hasson was all-in for 268,000 and dominated by Jonathan Clark.

Ori Hasson: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Jonathan Clark: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

The {8-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{j-Spades} board delivered the suckout on the river and Hasson joked "what can I do, I am a fish."

Ponomarev From Hero to Zero

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Alexios Zervos
Alexios Zervos

Heads-up to the {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop the fireworks kicked off between Nikolay Ponomarev and Rickie Vedhara with the latter ending up at risk for more than 400,000.

Rickie Vedhara: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Nikolay Ponomarev: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}

The {7-Clubs} turn changed nothing and the {7-Diamonds} river paired up Vedhara to score a massive double.

Ponomarev had some 70,000 left and got those in as Vedhara jammed from on seat over. Alexios Zervos came along with the second biggest stack of the trio involved for 271,000 behind.

Nikolay Ponomarev: {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Rickie Vedhara: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Alexios Zervos: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The next large pot ran out in favour of Zervos on the {8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts} board as Ponomarev was knocked out in 39th place.

Barakat Busts to Boci

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Youness Barakat
Youness Barakat

Youness Barakat had bet-folded to a shove by Raymond Caabay only a few minutes ago and was then involved in heads-up action against Lorenc Boci, who had become one of the chip leaders on the table.

The {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop got the chips in between the two of them with Barakat having some 260,000 behind.

Youness Barakat: {a-Spades}{3-Spades}
Lorenc Boci: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

The naked flush draw missed on the {4-Clubs} turn and {9-Diamonds} river to eliminate Barakat in 40th place.

Three Down in a Minute

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Within literally 30 seconds, three players departed from three different tables and that reduced the field to the final five tables.

Jen-Yue Chiang got it in with the {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and faced Rickie Vedhara with the {k-Spades}{q-Spades}. The suited king got there on the {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts} board and Chiang was the first to bust.

Damien Pilkington-Lewis then three-bet jammed a short stack with the {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Joshua Boulton called with the {k-Spades}{9-Spades} and got there on the {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{3-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{a-Clubs} runout.

Last but not least, Masoud Etemadiherisi was dominated with the {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} as Sorin Pruteanu turned over the {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}. The {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} board brought no help to the dominated pair as Etemadiherisi departed in 41st place.

Doshi Gets a Shove Through; Didenka Doubles Through Hasson

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

James Rann opened to 20,000 and Nikolay Ponomarev three-bet to 60,000 from one seat over. Paresh Doshi then four-bet jammed for 254,000 in the small blind and Rann quickly folded. Ponomarev asked for a count and let go as well.

In the next hand, Ori Hasson pushed from the small blind and Liudas Didenka called all-in from the big blind for 169,000.

Liudas Didenka: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Ori Hasson: {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}

The {7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Spades}{q-Diamonds} river delivered the help on the river.

Wang's Tournament Ends Eventually

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The last few orbits weren't as kind to Alex Whitenstall but he bounced back some by knocking out table short stack Lei Wang for the last five big blinds.

The {10-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades} board gave both players a straight but Wang's {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs} was no good as Whitenstall had a jack.
