Level 18
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Maxim Panyak has been eliminated from the tournament. Details of the Russian's bust out are missing so far, but we do have the details of Andrey Pateychuk's bust out.

Dimitrios Ballas: 
Andrey Pateychuk: 
The 
on the flop brought not much of anything besides some back door draws for Pateychuk, and by the time the 
hit the turn it was time for him to get up from the table. The 
hit the river, and the Day 1a chip leader made his exit.

: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Nicolas Chouity opened the button to 12,000, and small blind Elias Pecheux three-bet to 48,000, clearly committing himself. The big blind folded, and Chouity thought for a long time. He eventually pushed all in, knowing he didn't have much fold equity. Pecheux called.
Elias Pecheux: 
Nicolas Chouity: 
The 
flop favored Chouity, and the 
on the turn and 
on the river did Pecheux no good either. Pecheux departed in 42nd place.
