Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Xavier Kyablue moved all in for 142,000 from the hijack and Jerome Zerbib called in the small blind.

Xavier Kyablue: 10♥10♠ All in
Jerome Zerbib: A♣K♥

Kyablue was flipping for his tournament life, but the J♣A♦8♠ flop improved Zerbib to top pair and left Kyablue needing a miracle to stay alive. He didn't find any help on the 2♣ turn or J♥ river and Zerbib took the pot to send him to the rail.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

UFC fighter Colby Covington and high roller Aleksejs Ponakovs had created a pot of 100,000 chips when they arrived on a turn of 2♠Q♦8♦9♠. After an unseen action from Ponakovs, Covington put out 125,000 chips.

Ponakovs then raised all in, covering Covington's stack of roughly 320,000 chips. Covington went into the tank but eventually slammed in a call for his tournament life.

Colby Covington: A♦Q♥ All in
Aleksejs Ponakovs: 9♣2♣

The 3♥ river did not counterfeit Ponakov's two pair as Covington was sent to the rail.

Andrew Rodgers: 9♣9♠ All in
Andy Spears: Q♦J♦

Spears would need to connect to win the pot and did just that after the board ran out A♦4♠J♠A♠7♦ to send Rodgers out of the tournament.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Action picked up on the flop in a hand between Ben Collins in early position and John Duthie in late position.

With roughly 100,000 in the pot and the board reading 8♦6♥4♣, Collins check-called a bet of 85,000 from Duthie.

On the 7♣ turn, Collins checked again and Duthie moved all in, putting himself at risk. Collins quickly made the call.

John Duthie: 9♠7♠ All in
Ben Collins: 5♣5♥

The river brought the A♥ and Collins' straight ended Duthie's Main Event run.

Peter Kiem was all-in before the flop with the A♣J♦ and had picked an unfortunate timing, as Donovan Dean looked him up with the A♦A♥. There was no escape on the 7♦6♠2♠9♦10♣ runout and Kiem headed to the payout desk.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Picking up the action partway through the hand, Andreas Wagner in middle position was all in and at risk for his stack of 300,000 against Bojan Gledovic on the button.

Andreas Wagner: A♣A♠ All in
Bojan Gledovic: A♥J♦

Wagner had found pocket rockets at an opportune time and held on the 4♠9♣7♥2♦8♦ runout to secure the full double, leaving Gledovic with just 20,000.

Gledovic was eliminated a couple of hands later.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

A player in early position raised to 22,000 before John Borges moved all in for 173,000 in middle position. Gabriel Moura called on the button, as did the original raiser.

Both players checked the 5♠2♦3♣ flop. The turn was the 6♦ and Moura bet 80,000. His opponent called to create a side pot and they both checked down the 5♣ river.

Borges showed 10♥10♣, but Moura turned over J♥J♠. "Oh, you do outpip me," Borges said before wishing the table good luck and making his way to the payout desk.
