Level 16 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Mikita Badziakouski raised to 600,000 on the button, leaving himself just 5,000 behind, and Jesse Lonis shoved in the big blind. Badziakouski called all in and hands were revealed.

Mikita Badziakouski: K♥10♠ All in
Jesse Lonis: 9♥9♠

The 10♣3♠5♠ flop vaulted Mikita into the lead with a pair of tens and the A♠4♠ turn and river left Mikita best with a flush for the double up.

“Why did it feel like it was going to be so easy?” Badziakouski joked.

Level 16 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

[Removed:554] opened from middle position and then called with the covering stack after Yaman Nakdali moved all in on the button.

Yaman Nakdali: A♠J♣ All in
[Removed:554]: Q♠J♦

Nakdali was comfortably ahead with his dominating hand and remained so on the 2♥5♦8♦ flop. The Q♣ turn, however, paired up [Removed:555]'s inferior kicker to leave Nakdali drawing thin heading to the river. The river came 9♠, confirming Nakdali's exit in 20th place.

Morten Klein raised from the cutoff to 120,000 and Robert Salaburu called from the big blind.

Both checked the J♠ turn to the 6♣ river. Salaburu led out fot 625,000, and Klein eventually called.

Salaburu tabled 7♠2♠ for a flush, and Klein mucked.

Level 17 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Picking up the action on the turn, Chris Brewer in the big blind was involved in a hand with Leon Sturm from under the gun.

With the board reading 8♣2♥10♦A♥ Brewer check-called a bet of 215,000 from Sturm.

Brewer checked again following the 4♥ river. Sturm moved all in with the covering stack, sending Brewer deep into the tank. After moving all six of his time extensions in front of him, he proceeded to reason through the hand out loud. Eventually, he called but could not beat Sturm's A♠9♥ and was forced out of the tournament in 18th place.
