Ivan Ruban faced a tough decision on the button with Andreas Boelling having gone all in for 408,000 in chips and the board reading 3♥6♥6♠.
Eventually, Ruban rolled with it, putting his tournament life on the table with 366,000 chips.
Ivan Ruban: 8♠8♣
Andreas Boelling: A♠Q♥
Ruban's overpair held through the turn and river of K♦K♠, crippling Boelling, who was knocked out of the tournament in the next rotation.
The cards were face up, and the chips were in the middle with a board about to come. Una Kelly was in the hijack with 126,000 chips, and Callum Vibert was on the button with the dominant stack.
Una Kelly: K♦J♥
Callum Vibert: Q♠Q♣
The board offered no favors for Kelly, with 10♥3♣9♠7♣2♥ and the pair of queens won.
Level: 19
Blinds: 6,000/12,000
Ante: 12,000
Heads up, Ran Kadur, in the small blind, checked the 8♠5♦Q♠ flop with a pot of around 50,000. David Welch fired 18,000 and Kadur replied with an all-in shove for around 103,000 which Welch snap called putting Kadur at risk.
Ran Kadur: 5♠2♠
David Welch: A♠K♠
Kadur was ahead with a pair and a flush draw but Welch had a lot of outs with the nut flush draw and his overcards. On the turn, Welch took the lead when the K♥ fell. But his lead was short lived as the 5♥ dropped on the river, giving Kadur trips and a double-up to continue his tournament run.
Javier Fernandez went all in from the cutoff with his massive stack on a flop of 7♥6♣5♥.
When the action got to Amir Rasheed in the big blind, he quickly pushed his 300,000 chips forward.
Amir Rasheed: 9♥8♣
Javier Fernandez: 6♠6♥
Rasheed's flopped straight held against Fernandez' set of sixes with the turn and river being 4♠A♣, giving Rasheed a huge chip boost.
Satoshi Tanaka raised to 20,000 from the hijack position, Mario Boos called from the big blind. The flop was 5♦9♣4♣ and Boos checked to the preflop raiser who bet out 13,000. Boos came along to see the turn.
The turn K♣ and the river 4♦ were checked by both players. Boos tabled 10♣7♣ and Tanaka mucked. Boos held the flush for the win.
Miguel Coussement in late position opened for 25,000 and got a three-bet from Kajetan Renke in the big blind to 70,000. Coussement thought for a moment before calling to see the flop.
The flop dropped J♣Q♦4♠ and Renke continued with a strong 60,000. Coussement checked his cards and conceded his hand and the pot to Renke.
Mikhail Tsatskin was all in and at risk for his remaining 100,000 from the hijack against Debra Heidenreich in middle position.
Mikhail Tsatskin:A♣Q♣
Debra Heidenreich: A♥7♥
Tsatskin held all the way after seeing the J♣6♣3♠ flop, 3♦ turn and Q♥ river, with very little sweat.
Fresh off the bat of a hot run yesterday, Guy Haviv was looking to continue his streak as he raised to 20,000 under the gun. He received two callers, including Yusheng Lin, who defended his big blind.
On a flop of 3♦7♦5♣, Lin then took the initiative, betting 55,000 before Haviv instantly raised to 143,000. The third player got out of the way, and Lin took his time to think before shoving for not much more.
"I have a set," announced Haviv as he called.
Yusheng Lin: 9♦9♥
Guy Haviv: 3♠3♥
As if the set wasn't enough, Haviv rivered quads on the 10♣3♣ runout to secure the elimination, and continue his sun run.
