Kyle "JackintheB0X" Miholich moved all in for 193,460 and Aleksejs "APonakov" Ponakovs called to put him at risk.

Aleksejs "APonakov" Ponakovs: A♥K♠

Heads-up on a flop of K♦2♣6♥, Leonard "DeathByFOMO" Maue bet 9,111 from the small blind and Joao "WinamaxPT" Vieira called in middle position.

The turn came the 4♦ and Maue bet another 35,777. Vieira again called to see the Q♥ river, where Maue moved all in.

Vieira went into his time bank as he tanked for several moments before calling with Ax4x for a pair of fours. Maue showed Jx7x for a bluff and Vieira doubled up.

Andrew Knowles

Level 20 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 600 ante

After just losing a flip with ace-king a few hands earlier, Josh "Nitbuster" Arieh was on a short stack and moved all in for 25,266 in the cutoff. Leonard "DeathByFOMO" Maue reshoved from the small blind and when the big blind folded the cards were on their backs.

Joshua "Nitbuster" Arieh: A♣8♦
Leonard "DeathByFOMO" Maue: A♥J♥

Arieh was in need of help, but when the board ran out J♠9♦7♦K♣K♠, it was the ace-jack for Maue that held up to send Arieh out on the stone-bubble.

The remaining 60 players are now in the money and locked up a minimum cash of $11,628.
