Level 18 : Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

David Einhorn raised all in for 1,800,000 from under the gun. It then folded to Kayhan Mokri in the small blind who called for his stack of 1,100,000. Once the big blinds folded, it was the two players heads up, with Mokri at risk.

Kayhan Mokri: 8♠8♦ All in
David Einhorn: J♥J♣

Mokri was up against the bigger pocket pair of Einhorn, and once the board ran out 2♣6♥3♦7♥4♦ the pocket jacks of Einhorn were still best, knocking out Mokri.

Paul Phua: 10♥10♦ All in
Alex Foxen: A♠Q♠

Level 19 : Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Fedor Holz opened the action with a raise to 250,000 from middle position, which was called by the big blind Aleksejs Ponakovs.

After the flop came K♠Q♠2♣ Ponakovs check-raised the bet of 175,000 from Holz to 450,000. Holz made the call to see a turn.

The turn was 9♣ and Ponakovs check-called a bet of 575,000 from Holz.

After the 9♦ on the river, Ponakovs checked to Holz, who bet 1,200,000, leaving just 25,000 chips behind. Ponakovs made the call. Holz turned over K♣Q♥ for two pair, kings and queens, but Ponakovs tabled J♦10♥ for a turned straight to leave Holz with crumbs.

A few hands later Holz was officially eliminated.
