Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Josh Arieh checked from the small blind on a flop of 3♥Q♣J♥ and Young Sik Eum bet 5,000 from under the gun. Arieh check-raised to 21,000, which Eum called.

The 3♣ dropped on the turn and Arieh jammed for roughly 38,000. Eum called to put Arieh at risk.

Josh Arieh: K♥Q♥J♦4♥ All in
Young Sik Eum: A♥A♣8♦2♥

Arieh's two pair on the flop had been counterfeited, and Eum had the better flush draw. Arieh couldn't find the help he needed on the 7♦ river, and he wished everyone good luck as he headed for the exit.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On a flop of J♦10♣6♣, the stacks of three players went into the middle and Bryan Buonocore was the shortest of them up against Jon Kyte and Brynjar Gigja.

Bryan Buonocore: K♥J♥10♠3♠ All in
Jon Kyte: J♣J♠7♠7♦ All in
Brynjar Gigja: A♥Q♣9♥8♣

Gigja had a lot of equity to knock out two players but it was Kyte who came out on top thanks to the 8♠ turn and 6♠ river runout, as he improved to a full house. Buonocore was eliminated while Kyte doubled for more than 35,000 against Gigja.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Pavel Izotov raised from under the gun to 3,000 before Paul Patouilliart jammed for 8,800 from the next seat. Felipe Ramos four-bet to 27,000 on the button, which forced Izotov to fold.

Paul Patouilliart: A♠J♠J♦3♠ All in
Felipe Ramos: A♣A♦Q♥7♣

Patouilliart needed to find a jack or some spades to crack the aces of Ramos. The dealer put out a board of 7♦5♠5♦2♦6♦, which was no help to Patouilliart, and he headed to the rail.

Edward Leonard jammed over the top of a bet by Caleb King and was called on the Q♥8♦3♦ flop to turn over the Q♣J♣J♦6♦ for top pair and a flush draw. King was ahead with the Q♠J♥9♠8♥ for two pair and a gutshot, which held thanks to the 7♥ turn and 6♠ river.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

The cards of Michael Noori were exposed for the showdown and then instantly went into the muck what appeared to have been pocket queens and two clubs, up against the Q♦9♦6♣5♣ of Laszlo Bujtas on the 8♣7♠2♣ flop. The 4♦ turn gave Bujtas a straight and the J♦ river was a blank to send Noori to the rail.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Michael Spegal had bet 4,000 from the button on a flop of 2♠10♦3♥. Matthew Valeo check-raised to 11,500 from the blinds, and Spegal called.

The Q♣ landed on the turn and Valeo jammed for roughly the size of the pot, which was around 30,000. Spegal instantly called.

Matthew Valeo: J♦9♠7♠6♥ All in
Michael Spegal: Q♥Q♦10♥4♦

Valeo was bluffing but did have a straight draw against the top set of Spegal. The 6♠ hit the river, and all of Valeo's chips were sent over to Spegal.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Ruben Correia was all in with pocket aces against the A♣A♠9♥4♦ of Ludovic Geilich and the Scotsman said "put a nine or four there" once the flop came Q♣9♣5♦. That request was denied on the 7♥ turn but the 9♦ river improved Geilich to trips nines for the knockout.
