Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Kelvin Kerber moved all in on the button and, after considerable thought, Markus Gonsalves called off for less out of the small blind.
Markus Gonsalves: K♣J♥
Kelvin Kerber: J♣4♣
Gonsalves was in excellent position to score a double up, that was until the flop came 3♠4♦Q♥. No help came for the at risk player on the 5♥ turn or J♠ river, bringing the Brazilian's deep run to an end in 12th place.

Vitalijs Zavorotnijs Eliminated in 13th Place ($36,644)
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Vitalijs Zavorotnijs moved all in for a little under 2,00,000 and the action was on Truyen Nguyen who went deep into the tank. After a good minute, he finally made the fold and Chris Savage made the call to put Zavorotnijs at risk.
Vitalijs Zavorotnijs: 4♦4♥
Chris Savage: 6♣6♦
"Wow! I folded fives!" Nguyen breathed a sigh of relief as the cards were tabled.
The board runout of 2♣3♣J♥K♦Q♣ was of no help to Zavorotnijs and he was eliminated in 13th place.

Zavorotnijs Survives
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Vitalijs Zavorotnijs opened to 500,000 from the cutoff, leaving himself just a few chips behind. A player in the small blind just called with the big blind getting out of the way to send action heads-up to the flop.
The small blind bet enough to force his opponent all in following the 3♠J♦10♥ flop and Zavorotnijs called for his tournament life.
Vitalijs Zavorotnijs: K♣10♦
Small Blind Player: K♦Q♠
Zavorotnijs had paired his kicker to take the lead, managing to hold on the 8♠ turn and 6♦ river to secure a double up.
