Level 11 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Ben Tollerene opened the hijack to 105,000 before Sean Winter jammed for 775,000 from the small blind, and Tollerene snapped it off.

Sean Winter: A♥9♥ All in
Ben Tollerene: J♠J♥

Winter was in rough shape but had an overcard. The J♦10♦7♦ flop gave Tollerene top set and Winter picked up a gutter.

No waiting was required on the 8♣ turn as Winter made his straight. The A♦ river failed to fill up Tollerene as neither player held a diamond, and Winter collected the full double.

Samuel Mullur was down to just 180,000 and shoved all in from middle position. Mikita Badziakouski and Emilien Pitavy both called from the blinds as the dealer fanned the flop of K♥3♣2♥. Badziakouski led out with a bet of 100,000 and Pitavy quickly folded.

Samuel Mullur: A♠2♦ All in
Mikita Badziakouski: A♦9♠

Mullur managed to flop a pair of deuces and held the lead against Badziakouski's ace-high. The 8♦ and 5♥ runout was no help for Badziakouski, sending the pot to Mullur.

Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Taylor von Kriegenbergh got the last of his chips into the middle from middle position against Biao Ding from the big blind.

Taylor von Kriegenbergh: J♣J♦ All in
Biao Ding: 10♠10♣

Von Kriegenbergh had the bigger pair and looked likely to double-up, if he could fade a ten on the runout. The flop of A♥10♥5♦ was disastrous for Von Kriegenbergh, as Ding spiked a set to take the lead. The remainder of the board came 9♣3♣, and Von Kriegenbergh hit the rail.
