Connor Richards

Level 15 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Brian Rast opened to 140,000 in the cutoff and Brock Wilson three-bet to 500,000 in the small blind. Rast took some time before four-bet jamming a stack of around 2,000,000. Wilson called to put the Poker Hall of Famer at risk.

Brian Rast: 4♥4♦ All in
Brock Wilson: K♥K♣

Rast had run into it and couldn't improve as the board ran out 9♠2♦Q♣7♦6♠ as he hit the rail and Wilson added to his chip lead.

Level 15 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Christoph Vogelsang pushed all in for 390,000 in middle position and Chongxian Yang flat-called in the hijack. Brian Rast reshoved all in for 1,260,000 from the cutoff and the action folded back to Yang who asked for a count.

Despite Rast and the dealer announcing the count multiple times, Yang was still unsure of the amount and his 30 seconds was ticking down. David Chen was at the table and argued that Yang's clock should be restarted.

"You shouldn't say anything," Rast got firm with Chen. Yang eventually burned through two time banks and then folded.

Christoph Vogelsang: A♣10♥ All in
Brian Rast: J♥J♣

The board ran out Q♣8♥4♥10♠6♣ and the pair of tens for Vogelsang was not enough to overcome the pocket jacks of Rast.

Brandon Wittmeyer: 10♦9♦ All in
Lander Lijo: A♣A♠ All in
Alexandre Reard: A♦J♣

Lijo's aces held up for a triple as the board ran out 6♥2♥7♦A♥9♥ to send Wittmeyer to the rail in 20th place.

Level 15 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel opened to 120,000 in the cutoff and Dominykas Mikolaitis three-bet shoved all in from the small blind. Kabrhel used his entire 30 seconds and then some before calling off his stack of around 1,100,000.

Martin Kabrhel: K♠K♦ All in
Dominykas Mikolaitis: A♦10♦

The flop came K♥J♥6♠ and Kabrhel flopped a set of kings to hold a big lead. However, the Q♦ on the turn gave Mikolaitis a straight. The 3♠ on the river did not pair the board and Kabrhel was ousted in the blink of an eye.

Brian Rast limped in from the small blind and Chino Rheem checked his option in the big blind.

Rast bet 60,000 on the K♣J♠5♠ flop and called when Rheem moved all in with his short stack.

Chino Rheem: 8♠2♠ All in
Brian Rast: Jx3x

Rheem needed to hit his flush to stay alive but saw Rast improve to trips instead as the board completed with the J♣A♣.

Punnat Punsri: Q♣J♣ All in
Chongxian Yang: A♥A♦

Punsri had run into aces and couldn't improve as the board ran out 4♠7♦9♣J♦9♦ to mark his elimination.

Level 15 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

While all eyes were on the hand taking place between Martin Kabrhel and Sergey Lebedev, a massive pot was quietly brewing on the neighbouring table.

The action folded to chip leader Brock Wilson, who raised to 210,000 from the small blind. Pavel Plesuv, who returned from the dinner break sixth in chips, three-bet to 650,000 from the big blind. Wilson used up three time banks before calling.

The 8♣8♠4♣ flop checked through to the 5♠ turn. Wilson led out for 400,00 and Plusev called.

The 5♦ river completed, and Wilson went back into the tank, using two time banks before betting 2,000,000. Plusev had around 1,800,000 behind, and after around a minute of thinking time, he committed the rest of his stack.

Plusev let out a dejected sigh as he saw Wilson tabled 7♠6♠, which was good for a straight. Plusev revealed he had called with K♥K♦ before leaving the tournament area.

David Peters was all in from the big blind against Brock Wilson in late position.

David Peters: A♥10♥ All in
Brock Wilson: A♠J♥

Peters was pipped but took the lead on the flop of 4♦10♠3♣. The 8♦ turn didn't change anything, but the river brought the J♣ to give Wilson the winner as Peters was eliminated on the soft money bubble.

Level 14 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Alex Foxen was all in for around 1,300,000 in a blind versus blind confrontation with Dominykas Mikolaitis.

Alex Foxen: 5♥5♣ All in
Dominykas Mikolaitis: A♥Q♦

Foxed stayed ahead after the 2♣K♥8♦ flop and J♠ turn, but the 10♦ river gave Mikolaitis Broadway as Foxen was sent to the rail.

"Not like that!" cried Martin Kabrhel.

Kabrhel Makes the 'Casino Royale'

Level 14 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel and Alex Foxen were heads-up in the pot with around 300,000 in the middle and the board reading A♠6♣3♠4♠. Foxen led out with a bet of 125,000 from the big blind and Kabrhel called on the button.

"Another spade, Matthew," Kabrhel pleaded with the dealer. The river was indeed the K♠ and Foxen checked this time. Kabrhel announced a bet of 440,000 and then celebrated when Foxen didn't snap-call.

"Alex, let me give you some advice. When somebody is talking on the river, it is never a bluff! Never ever a bluff," Kabrhel continued to blabber while Foxen thought about his decision.

Foxen eventually called and Kabrhel turned over his hand, one card a time. First the 10♣ and then the Q♠, "Casino Royale!" he shouted with the nut flush.
