Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Sebastian Schulze was all in and at risk from the big blind for his remaining 140,000 stack. His opponent Yilong Wang covered him from a late position.

Sebastian Schulze: A♥10♠All in
Yilong Wang: A♣K♠

It was a quick elimination, and Schulze stood from the table as the K♦K♥A♠ flop was dealt. He didn't stick around to watch the 2♥ turn or 3♥ river.

On a table across the floor, Kenny Shih in the small blind and in a pot with Camille Brown in the big blind.

The players were heads-up and on the turn with a 10♦8♦3♥4♥ board.

Shih had moved all in for his remaining 100,000 and Brown made the call.

Kenny Shih: J♦10♠All in
Camille Brown: A♦7♦

Shih was ahead when the cards were flipped, but Camille stole back on the Q♦ river with the flush.

In a heads-up raised pot, the flop read A♦8♦3♣ when Yaginuma check-called a bet worth 25,000 from David Rees.

The 4♦ turn brought no action and the 2♣ landed on the river. Both checked again and Yaginuma tabled A♣A♥ for trips aces. Rees took some time to release his cards into the muck.

"Good enough?" said Yaginuma jokingly before grabbing the pot.

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Action was picked up with Chia Huang, under the gun, and Vito Branciforte, in middle position, in an all-in showdown with their hands and chips in the middle of the felt.

Chia Huang: Q♥Q♠ All in
Vito Branciforte: A♥Q♣

The board ran 5♥3♥J♦2♣8♠. With no ace on the board Huang doubled up leaving Branciforte with only 40,000.

In the very next hand, Branciforte open-shoved with his remaining chips in middle position. Action folded around to the big blind Huang who made the call.

Vito Branciforte: 6♠6♥ All in
Chia Huang: K♥K♦

Once again, Huang was ahead and kept his lead on the flop 9♦7♣Q♥. The turn came the 8♦, which gave Branciforte a bit of hope when it gave him an open-ended straight draw. But the 4♦ river card cemented his elimination from the tournament in two hands against Huang.

Diab had some hopes for a double up but the board brought 8♠8♦7♣9♣3♣ and he made his way to collect his money prize.

In a heads-up pot, the flop read 2♣2♠A♣ when Terry Wheeler checked from the big blind. Daniel Strelitz bet 15,000 and Wheeler raised it to 40,000, which Strelitz called.

On the 9♥ turn, Wheeler check-called for 40,000 and a 10♦ landed on the river. Wheeler checked again and quickly called Strelitz's bet worth 85,000, but mucked A♥8♣ after Strelitz showed A♦Q♠ for the winning hand.

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

In a blind-on-blind matchup — a chop not allowed — Woody Christy fired first with 105,000 chips. David Rasmussen thought about it for a minute, then went all in. Christy called.

David Rasmussen: 8♠8♣All in
Woody Christy: K♥5♣

Not that he needed much help as the favorite going into the flop, but Rasmussen got plenty from the runout of Q♣8♥A♥8♦2♦, landing quads on the turn to double up.

Tetsuma Ishizu raised to 94,000 preflop, leaving himself only 10,000 behind. Iulian Blebea made the call.

Blebea bet 10,000 in the dark before the 3♠8♠6♥ scrolled acrosss. Ishizu mulled it over but eventually flicked in his last two chips.

Tetsuma Ishizu: A♦7♦ All in
Iulian Blebea: A♣K♠

The turn slammed the door on Ishizu as the K♣ snapped off, making the 4♣ a pure formality. Blebea moved even further up in the counts.
