Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The action folded around to Fausto Tantillo in the small blind, who limped in for 5,000 more, and Christoph Lovett shoved for 250,000. Tantillo snap-called for a little under 200,000 chips.

Fausto Tantillo: 10♠10♥ All in
Christoph Lovett: J♠10♦

Tantillo was in a great spot to double up but was reduced to one out as the A♠J♥9♥ flop paired Lovett's jack. Another jack on the turn, the J♦, reduced Tantillo's outs to zero as he was now drawing dead. A bit of salt on the river for Tantillo as the J♣ improved his opponent to quads.

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Freeman Kauffman shoved all in for 131,000 from early position and Tony Dam also shoved all in behind for around 240,000. The rest of the table folded which left Kauffman at risk.

Freeman Kauffman: 7♥7♦ All in
Tony Dam: A♥K♦

Kauffman's run in the event seemed to have come to an end as a king appeared in the window on the J♠2♦K♠ flop. As the turn was about to be dealt, Kauffman stood up and grabbed his belongings, but swiftly sat back down as the 7♠ rolled off on the turn, which improved him to an unbeatable set. The meaningless 9♣ completed the board and Kauffman doubled up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Freeman Kauffman	290,000 179,000	179,000
Tony Dam	110,000 124,000	124,000

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Jose Jaraiz shoved from under the gun for 131,000, then Abdel Hamid in middle position moved all in as well for 80,000. All the other players folded so both players flipped over their cards.

Abdel Hamid: A♥K♥ All in
Jose Jaraiz: A♦J♣

The board of 2♠6♠4♥10♣8♠ didn't change anything so Hamid doubled up.
