Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Javier Francort raised to 200,000 from early position and it was folded to Dominykas Karmazinas, who raised pot from the big blind. Francort quickly four-bet to put Karmazinas all-in and Karmazinas called for his remaining stack.

Dominykas Karmazinas: K♥K♠J♥8♥ All in
Javier Francort: A♦Q♦Q♥5♦

Karmazinas held the lead with kings and maintained it on the 7♦J♦2♠ flop, but the A♥ turn paired Francort's ace to leave Karmazinas drawing slim.

The 3♥ river changed nothing and Karmazinas was eliminated in 18th place.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Stefan Lehner limped from the cutoff and Brandon Crawford did so from the button, Ben Lamb from the small blind called and Sean Rafael checked his option in the big blind.

The 9♥8♠3♣ flop was checked to Crawford and he bet the pot for 300,000. Lamb folded and Rafael check-raised the pot, forcing out Lehner. Crawford called all-in and that led to the following showdown.

Brandon Crawford: 10♣10♦8♦7♦ All in
Sean Rafael: Q♠8♥8♣4♣

During the previous break, Crawford had lamented that he was running so bad after losing multiple pots mostly without showdown to see his stack damaged. There would be no comeback for him, as the 9♠ turn and 7♥ river gave Rafael a full house. Crawford's run ended in 20th place for $54,777.

Roussos Koliakoudakis: A♥Q♣10♦6♣ All in
Erik Nordstrand: A♠J♥9♣2♠

On the 4♥ river Nordstrand bet the pot, enough to put Mizrachi all-in. Mizrachi went deep into the tank for over five minutes before the clock was called and shortly after Mizrachi called.

Mizrachi had a full house with K♦10♣9♦7♠ but Nordstrand had a king-high straight flush with Q♥10♠9♥7♥ to eliminate Mizrachi in brutal fashion.
