Level 23 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Anuj [Removed:550] opened to 250,000 on the button before Richard Gryko three-bet to 1,200,000 out of the small blind. Yang Wang then cold four-bet in the big blind, forcing a quick fold from [Removed:550]. Gryko, on the other hand, called off for less to put himself at risk.

Richard Gryko: K♥K♦8♠6♥ All in
Yang Wang: A♥K♣10♥2♣

Gryko was ahead but could not hold as Wang improved to a full house on the 4♥10♣10♦3♦A♦ runout to send Gryko to the rail in 18th place.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 23 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

After the elimination of Kahle Burns, the next table to break had to sacrifice a player to balance the field and Christian Harder was moved one table over. However, he barely lasted two minutes there as he was immediately knocked out in a battle of the blinds with Sandhy Sitepu.

Harder potted out of the small blind to earn a call and then potted the Jx9x7x flop to then call-in when Sitepu raised.

The A♣A♥7♥4♥ of Harder were up against Sitepu's A♠K♠J♠9♠ for the top two pair and the latter improved from two pair to broadway on turn and river.

Table 624 was once again five-handed and in need of a new player, having witnessed three eliminations in the span of ten minutes.
