Christian Zetzsche

Level 7 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Zubov Loses With Queens

Matt Hansen

Level 7 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Aleksandr Zubov was all in for what looked like 100,000 and Oktay Koeysu had put him at risk. The cards were already turned up and the dealer was completing the runout.

Aleksandr Zubov: Q♥Q♠
Oktay Koeysu: A♥Q♠

The board ran out 2♠6♦A♠7♦10♠ and Koeysu flopped a pair of aces to eliminate Zubov.

Meanwhile, Nello Neto, Erwann Pecheux, and Vincent Moscati are also out of the tournament.

Lindgren Among the Next to Bow Out

Christian Zetzsche

Level 6 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Jesse Lonis has continued his sprints between the two nearby events and aimed to knock out a short-stacked Erick Lindgren. The K♥5♥ of Lonis were up against 8♠8♥ and Lindgren survived on a 10♦9♣8♣A♣4♥ runout.

Lindgren's fortune was short-lived as he busted soon after, and Lonis received a penalty as he was folding out of turn. The stack of Lonis has taken a major toll, too, as he is down to fewer than 13 blinds.

The Eliminations Keep on Coming

Christian Zetzsche

Level 6 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The dealer announced a double elimination as Jeffrey Cormier and Glenn Becker were both ousted. Becker then walked over to the table of Erick Lindgren, who had called the all-in of Tomasz Gluszko for 80,000 that very moment while on the button.

Jesse Rosen then pushed in the big blind and Lindgren called.

Tomasz Gluszko: 3♠3♥
Jesse Rosen: 10♠10♦
Erick Lindgren: A♦K♥

The 10♥8♥8♠ flop gave Rosen a full house and Lindgren all but grinned a "that's cute", the 2♠ turn and Q♦ river were meaningless. Rosen doubled for 187,000 and Lindgren dropped to a short stack.

Erick Lindgren	60,000 -64,000	-64,000

Moon Harvests the Stacks of Mazari and Israelashvili

Matt Hansen

Level 6 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Stephen Song raised to 16,000 from under the gun before Roland Israelashvili shoved from the button with his dwindling stack. Dongwuk Moon went all in from the small blind and Song got out of the way. Action was heads up with Israelashvili at risk.

Roland Israelashvili: 5♥5♠
Dongwuk Moon: 10♥10♠

The board ran out 8♣2♦J♣3♦8♥ and the tens held to send Israelashvili to the rail.

On the very next hand, Tarik Mazari shoved his shrinking stack and Moon called from the button. The blinds got out of the way and action was heads up with Mazari at risk.

Tarik Mazari: A♦9♥
Dongwuk Moon: A♥10♠

The board ran out 8♣2♦J♣3♦8♥ and Moon held on once again with the better ace to send Mazari to the rail for consecutive knockouts.

Dongwuk Moon	348,000 198,000	198,000
Stephen Song	306,000 -66,000	-66,000

Matt Hansen

Level 5 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Maria Ho was all in for her last 48,000 and Jacek Pustula shoved with more from the small blind. The big blind got out of the way and action was heads up with Ho at risk.

Maria Ho: K♣9♣
Jacek Pustula: A♣Q♣

The board ran out 3♦Q♦6♠8♠Q♥ and Ho could not catch up to ace-queen to stay in the tournament.

Elsewhere, Jim Collopy, Lachezar Petkov, and Sunyoung Choi are out of the tournament.

Saven Eliminated by Pecheux

Christian Zetzsche

Level 5 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

In a battle of the blinds, Erwann Pecheux got it in with the Q♠6♥ against Adam Saven, who appeared to have put his hopes on ace-jack.

The 8♠8♥5♥Q♣9♦ board gave Pecheux queens and eights to take it down.

Lonis Ousts Rezaei and Runs Back to $10K

Matt Hansen

Level 4 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jesse Lonis raised to 12,500 from early position and Yuzhou Yin shoved from two seats over before Daniel Rezaei went all in for 61,000. Lonis called and Yin got out of the way to make action heads up with Rezaei at risk.

Daniel Rezaei: A♥8♥
Jesse Lonis: A♠5♦

The board ran out 10♥6♣7♣5♠Q♥ and Lonis turned a pair of fives to send Rezaei to the rail before he ran to check on his other stack.
