Level 23 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Niklas Astedt raised to 250,000 preflop over a limper and Manh Nguyen three-bet to 750,000. The limper got out of the way while Astedt made the call.

The flop came K♣Q♥3♠. Astedt checked, Nguyen shoved and Astedt, who had around 600,000 behind, called off and was at risk.

Niklas Astedt: A♣K♠8♠2♣ All in
Manh Nguyen: A♦K♦Q♠J♦

Astedt's top pair was in rough shape against Nguyen who had top two pair with a draw to the nut-straight. The rest of the board ran out K♥6♥ giving Nguyen kings full of queens to take the pot and send the online legend to the rail in 22nd place.

Level 23 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

David Benyamine limped in from under the gun and so did Richard Gryko from two seats over. [Removed:508] then raised to 275,000 on the button and received two calls.

Benyamine potted the Q♠7♣6♣ flop and Gryko called all-in. Crivello had around 390,000 behind and tank-called as well.

[Removed:508]: K♥K♣J♠9♠ All in
Richard Gryko: Q♦Q♥8♥4♣ All in
David Benyamine: J♣10♥9♥3♣

The 6♦ turn instantly improved Gryko to a full house and the 8♠ river sent Crivello out in 23rd place. Gryko doubled through Benyamine for 1,040,000 to surpass the Frenchman on the leaderboard.

Richard Gryko	3,650,000 1,900,000	1,900,000

James Carroll Eliminated in 24th Place ($42,851)

Christian Zetzsche

Level 23 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

The action started with a cutoff raise to 150,000 by David Benyamine and Mandy Calara called on the button. James Carroll then potted to 625,000 in the big blind and Benyamine reraised the pot to 2,125,000. Calara eventually called all-in for 1,110,000 and Carroll gave it some thought before he called all-in for another 950,000 behind to be the second-biggest stack in the showdown.

Mandy Calara: Q♥J♣9♥8♦ All in
James Carroll: A♦K♠Q♠Q♣ All in
David Benyamine: A♥A♠10♥3♥

The biggest stack remained ahead on the 10♣6♣3♦ flop while Calara had a gutshot. Nothing changed with the 5♠ turn but the 7♠ river completed an unlikely straight for Calara, as he tripled up.

For Carroll, the worst-case scenario unfolded as he lost the side pot as well and was eliminated on the pay jump for $42,851.

Ryan Lashmar

Level 22 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

With the board reading A♣6♦Q♥6♥7♥ and 680,000 in the middle, Nitesh Rawtani checked from middle position and Jonathan Bowers bet 675,000, exactly enough to put Rawtani all in. Rawtani went into the tank.

"I can beat king-jack-ten and ace-jack-ten with the ace of hearts" Rawtani commented as he mulled over the decision. After another minute Rawtani stuck in the call.

Bowers showed Q♦Q♣9♣3♥ for a full house to take the pot while Rawtani quickly made his exit from the tournament area.
