Massimo De Mario Eliminated in 23rd Place ($8,984)

Level 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Massimo De Mario
Massimo De Mario

A three-way all-in broke out when Massimo De Mario shoved for 975,000 from the hijack. Jesse Jones chose to shove also for 1,500,000, and Abhishek Mhatre called while covering both players.

Massimo De Mario: Q3All in
Jesse Jones: 77All in
Abhishek Mhatre: A10

The flop was favorable to Jones as he slammed a set on the QK7 board; however, Mhatre did gain outs to a straight to keep Jones at risk.

The K turn put an end to the matter as it gave Jones a full house. The J river gave Mhatre a straight that was no longer viable.

Peter Galloway Eliminated In 25th Place ($8,984)

Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Peter Galloway
Peter Galloway

Peter Galloway was forced all-in in the big blind for his last 50,000, and action was folded around to Alexander Gittings in late position, who raised to 600,000. All other players folded.

Peter Galloway: 95All in
Alexander Gittings: Q10

The flop came 1027 to pretty much seal Galloway's fate, and when the 4 came on the turn, he was drawing dead, and the K river made no difference at all, and Galloway was sent to the rail in 25th place.

Konstantinos Tzinis Eliminated in 26th Place ($8,984)

Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Konstantinos Tzinis
Konstantinos Tzinis

It was the end of the road for Konstantinos Tzinis. He began the hand with an open to 600,000 from early position, leaving only 200,000 behind. Massimo De Mario chose to raise to 1,000,000, which cleared out the rest of the table. Tzinis called to be at risk.

Konstantinos Tzinis: 85All in
Massimo De Mario: A4

The flop was not favorable to Tzinis when it came 109A to give De Mario top pair. The 6 turn did give Tzinis a straight draw, but the Q river did not convert on any of his outs to send him out in 26th place. Tzinis earned $8,984 for his effort.

Heath Knocks Out Two to Set Up Final Three Tables

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Jeanie Pak open-jammed for 825,000 from middle position. Paul Heath called in the cutoff, after which the action folded to Wesley Cameron in the big blind.

After a couple of minutes in the tank, the clock was called on Cameron. During his countdown, he shoved in his stack of 2,000,000. Heath made the call with the covering stack, and the trio tabled their cards.

Jeanie Pak: AQ All in
Wesley Cameron: A10 All in
Paul Heath: KJ

"A king or a jack," Heath kindly requested. He received both on the 5J43K runout, making him two pair to knock out both opponents.

"Come on! Get in! That's how you do it!" Heath excitedly yelled as Pak and Cameron were the last to leave before the redraw of the final three tables.
