Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Masato Yokosawa survived the bubble by just a hair as he was forced to be all-in from the big blind with his stack of 18,000. Daniel Lee opted to get involved from middle position with a raise, and the rest of the table folded to send Yokosawa and Lee to a showdown.

Masato Yokosawa: A♠9♥ All in
Daniel Lee: Q♥J♣

Yokosawa was fortunate enough to wake up with a hand despite his bleak circumstances, but the flop was not as kind as it fanned out 9♠8♦J♥ to give Lee the lead with two streets left.

The 4♠ turn was of no help to Yokosawa, and the J♦ river was the last card Yokosawa would see in the tournament as he was eliminated in the money.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Zdenek Zizka shoved from the cutoff for 320,000, and the table folded to Bernhard Binder in the big blind, who gave it some thought before he called.

Bernhard Binder: A♦8♥ All in
Zdenek Zizka: 9♣9♠

Binder needed an ace for an immediate out, but the flop was not cooperative as it fanned out 5♥5♠3♦. The 10♠ turn was of no use for Binder, and the 5♦ river improved Zizka to a full house to eliminate Binder.
