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

The action started with a raise to 210,000 by Erik Nordstrand in the cutoff and Quan Zhou called on the button, one of the shorter stacks on the table also came along in Roussos Koliakoudakis out of the big blind. The flop came A♦9♠6♥ and Koliakoudakis checked his option. Nordstrand bet 325,000 to force out Zhou before Koliakoudakis check-jammed for around 790,000 to get called.

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

Koliakoudakis was at risk with the top and bottom two pair against the top two pair of Nordstrand but his remaining cards were clean outs for a possible double. Nothing changed with the 2♦ turn and the 3♣ river spelled the end for Koliakoudakis in 21st place for $54,777.

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

In a five-way limped pot, the dealer fanned the flop of Q♠5♥3♠ and the action checked around to Javier Francort on the button who bet 125,000. Stefan Lehner called in early position and Jorryt van Hoof also came along from the cutoff.

The turn brought the 4♥ and Francort fired out another bet of 250,000. Lehner and Van Hoof both called again and the J♥ completed the board. Van Hoof took a turn by leading out with a bet of 450,000 and both Francort and Lehner quickly mucked their cards.

A couple of hands later, Isaac Kempton and Alex Foxen were heads-up in the blinds after Foxen made it 180,000 to go preflop. The flop came K♠K♦7♦ and Kempton check-called a bet of 105,000 from Foxen.

The turn was the 9♦ and both players checked to the 3♠ on the river. Kempton put together a bet of 160,000 and Foxen went into the tank for a minute before looking him up. Kempton turned over Q♦10♦8♠4♣ for a flush and Foxen couldn't beat it.

Shrey Maheshwary: A♦Q♠9♦2♠ All in
Erik Seidel: A♠A♣10♦9♠

Maheshwary found himself in rough shape against Seidel's aces and dominating flush draw and the 6♣7♥ runout kept Seidel best to eliminate Maheshwary in 22nd place.

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

Robert Mizrachi opened to 130,000 from the cutoff and Erik Nordstrand defended from the big blind.

Nordstrand checked again on the 10♦ turn and Mizrachi bet 125,000. Nordstrand check-raised to 425,000 and Mizrachi called.

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.
