Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Thomas Boivin

Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 50,000 from the hijack, which was called by Clemen Deng in the cutoff. It then folded to Thomas Boivin in the big blind, who put in a three-bet to 300,000. Thorel made the call, and Deng folded.

The flop came 2♠3♠6♠ and Boivin checked to Thorel who moved all-in for 175,000 and Boivin called.

Jean-Noel Thorel: K♣J♥ All in
Thomas Boivin: A♥A♣

It was the pocket aces of Boivin not long before this hand that left Thorel short, and he would need lots of help to crack them this time. But the 5♠ gave Thorel hope with chop outs as neither player held a club, but the 2♦ river sealed Thorel's fate as he was sent packing, and Boivin overtakes the chip lead.

Action folded around to Alejandro Lococo in the small blind, who moved all in to force Eric Wasserson to a decision in the big blind. After taking some time, Wasserson stuck in the call.

Eric Wasserson: A♣6♣ All in
Alejandro Lococo: Q♥10♥

Wasserson stayed in front on the J♣3♥9♣ flop, adding a flush draw to his lead. Lococo then picked up a flush draw of his own on the 4♥ turn, but the 7♣ river hit Wasserson to clinch the double-up.

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Dejan Kaladjurdjevic raised to 50,00 from the hijack, which was called by Alex Kulev in the small blind and Jean-Noel Thorel in the big blind.

The flop came 3♦10♠A♦ and it was checked to Kaladjurdjevic who bet out 30,000. Kulev then put in a raise to 95,000, which got Thorel to fold, and Kaladjurdjevic made the call.

After the J♥ on the turn, Kulev moved all-in and was called by Kaladjurdjevic for his stack of 265,000, putting himself at risk.

Dejan Kaladjurdjevic: J♠10♦ All in
Alex Kulev: A♦10♠

It was a brutal turn card for Kaladjurdjevic, giving him the worse two pair, and he could not improve after the 4♥ hit the river, sending Kaladjurdjevic to the rail.

Cary Katz was all in from the hijack, at risk against Vinny Lingham on the button.

Cary Katz: 9♣9♥ All in
Vinny Lingham: 2♣2♥

After losing a pot to Lingham a short time earlier, Katz was in great position to recover some of those chips. Lingham could not improve on the 10♠8♦K♠A♦K♣ runout, and Katz earned the double-up.

Philip Sternheimer raised to 50,000 on the button, with Daniel Negreanu flicking in a call from the big blind.

Negreanu checked the 10♠10♦9♥ flop, and Sternheimer took some time before checking back. The 7♦ turn saw Negreanu lead out for 65,000, and Sternheimer made the call.

Negreanu slowed down with a check on the 10♣ river, sending his cards into the muck after Sternheimer fired a bet of 75,000 to take the pot.

Adrian Mateos raised to 40,000 from the hijack, which was called by Monika Hrabec in the big blind.

Both players checked the 6♦9♦2♦ flop, which brought the J♦ on the turn. Hrabec then bet out 35,000, before Mateos raised to 140,000, and Hrabec made the call.

After the Q♣ on the river, Hrabec checked, and Mateos bet 265,000, leaving just 5,000 behind. Hrabec then moved all-in, and Mateos was forced to fold and give the pot to Hrabec.

Shortly after the hand, Mateos was eliminated, as was Santhosh Suvarna who was seen leaving the tournament area.

Ye Wang raised to 40,000 from middle position, which was called by Charles Hook in the hijack, Kayhan Mokri on the button, and the big blind Gabriel Andrade.

The flop came 9♥Q♣5♦ and after Andrade checked, Ye bet 60,000. Hook folded, Mokri called, and Andrade folded as well.

Heads-up now, the turn brought the K♠ and Wang decided to check-call a bet of 175,000 from Mokri.

The river was the 3♠ and after Wang checked, Mokri bet all in for Wang's stack of 435,000, and was called. Mokri tabled K♣Q♦ for two pair, while Wang tossed A♥A♦ in the muck and was eliminated.

Also seen leaving the tournament area after being eliminated was Nacho Barbero.
