Level 21 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Hannes Jeschka raised to 200,000 from early position with 7♥7♠, and it folded to Jean-Noel Thorel in the hijack with A♥K♠. He three-bet 475,00, which put Yang Wang in the tank with 10♠10♦ before electing to fold, as did Jun Obara when it folded to him with 8♠8♦ in the big blind. Jeschka then quickly mucked to give the pot to Thorel.

Level 21 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Wang Ye raised to 200,000 from early position, which was called by Stephen Chidwick in the big blind.

On a flop of 10♦6♥Q♦ Chidwick checked to Ye, who fired out 225,000. Chidwick then raised all in for his stack of 775,000, which Ye quickly called.

Stephen Chidwick: Q♥2♥
Wang Ye: K♣J♠

Chidwick was in front with his top pair, but would need to fade the over card and open-ended straight of Ye. The 5♥ on the turn was safe, but the 9♦ on the river gave Ye a straight, sending out Chidwick in 16th place.

Level 21 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Lucas Greenwood raised to 200,000 from the button, and Pedro Padilha called in the big blind.

The flop came 5♦8♥4♦ and after Padilha checked, Greenwood bet 275,000. Padilha then raised to 700,000, before Greenwood moved all in for 1,800,000, which Padilha called.

Lucas Greenwood: Q♠Q♣ All in
Pedro Padilha: A♠8♠

Padilha was well behind the pocket queens of Greenwood, that was until the A♦ peeled off on the turn, and the 4♥ gave the pot to Padilha and eliminated Greenwood in brutal fashion.
