Cooler Spells Disaster for De Almeida

Stewart Morrison

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Srivinay Irrinki raised under the gun, and when action folded to Daniel De Almeida, he moved all in for roughly 850,000. Action came back around to Irrinki, who made the call.

Daniel De Almeida: A♦K♥ All in
Srivinay Irrinki: A♥A♣

De Almeida found himself at risk and a long way behind.

The flop 4♣9♦3♠ was no help and left him needing running cards to win or chop the pot.

The turn 8♥ sealed his fate, and by the time the dealer had revealed the inconsequential K♣ river, De Almeida had stood up from his seat and began his exit from the tournament area.

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Allan Le shoved in the cutoff for 850,000 and Elias Kolsun called all in for a stack around 600,000 on the button:

Elias Kolsun: 5♦5♣ All in
Allan Le: A♠10♦

Kolsun had good hopes for a double up as the board first fell 6♣Q♥K♦4♠ but a 10♥ hit the river to give a pair of tens to Le and Kolsun made his way to the exit.

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

All the chips went in the middle preflop between James Laina, at risk with A♦Q♦ in his hands and with a stack around 1,000,000, against Simon Kaiser who held 2♣2♠.

Laina was unable to win the flip on board 3♠6♣6♦9♠4♣ and Kaiser grabbed the pot.

Sunset for Sunshine

Stewart Morrison

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Brandon Sunshine raised to 770,000 from under the gun, leaving himself just 10,000 behind as the tournament is on a pay jump. Action folded to Wei Chen in the small blind, who spent some time deliberating over what to do. After a few minutes passed, Chen moved all in.

When action got back to Sunshine, he snap called, mistakenly believing that the pay jump had been reached.

Brandon Sunshine: 9♠9♦ All in
Wei Chen: A♠Q♥

The flop was safe for Sunshine, coming 10♦10♥7♠, but the A♦ turn moved Chen firmly into the lead.

The river 3♥ was unable to save Sunshine, who, regretfully, headed to the exit when he found out he hadn't quite made the pay jump.

Wei Chen	1,880,000 670,000	670,000

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Following a cutoff open to 225,000 from Hakeem Mashal, Kevin Davis decided to shove his remaining 635,000 into the middle. After asking for a count and undergoing a short tank, Mashal made the call.

Kevin Davis: K♦2♦ All in
Hakeem Mashal: K♥J♣

Mashal saw the good news, that he was in the best shape possible, and he locked up the elimination as the board ran out a safe 4♦Q♠8♠8♥J♠

Stewart Morrison

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Roberto Damelian moved all in from early position for 115,000, and when action folded to Sebastiaan de Jonge on the button, he followed suit, moving all in for 290,000. Action then got to Tanupat Punjarojanakul in the big blind. Once he received a count of the biggest stack, he opted to call.

Roberto Damelian: Q♥J♠ All in
Sebastiaan de Jonge: A♦7♣ All in
Tanupat Punjarojanakul: 8♥6♣

The K♠4♦5♦ flop didn't change the standings, but the 6♥ turn put Punjarojanakul in the lead, putting both his opponents at risk.

The river 8♦ came to the rescue of de Jonge, though, and as he pulled in the pot, Damelian headed to the exit.

Player	Chips	Progress
Tanupat Punjarojanakul	1,900,000 70,000	70,000
Sebastiaan de Jonge	820,000 650,000	650,000

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Mark Marcellus moved all in for 155,000, and George Wolff, two seats to his left, was the only player to get involved.

Mark Marcellus: 9♥8♥ All in
George Wolff: A♦10♥

There was no help on the Q♥Q♠3♣ flop, nor the 5♦ turn.

Marcellus called for an eight to appear on the river, but the deck did not cooperate as it brought the J♣ river, sending Marcellus to the rail.

Jacob Wilson

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Stephen Tolbert found himself under the gun, and as first to act he open-shoved for 600,000. Action folded around to Joseph Roh on the button, who called off, and the blinds got out of the way.

Stephen Tolbert: A♥K♦ All in
Joseph Roh: A♠Q♣

Roh took the lead on the flop, and held as the board ran out 2♥J♣Q♦J♥5♥.
