Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Narongsak Dhanjaichon was down to just 90,000 chips and pushed all in from middle position. Javier Etayo flat-called in the hijack and Mauricio Salazar Sanchez reshoved all in from the big blind for around 360,000. Etayo gave it some thought but decided to send his cards into the muck.

Narongsak Dhanjaichon: J♠J♣ All in
Mauricio Salazar Sanchez: A♥A♣

The flop came 10♦9♠3♦ and Salazar Sanchez was still holding strong with his pocket aces. The J♥ rolled off on the turn to give Dhanjaichon a set of jacks but it was the A♦ on the river that gave Salazar Sanchez a better set for the elimination.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Scott Baumstein raised in early position to 20,000, David Mclaws on his direct left three-bet to 40,000, Norman Shapiro shoved for 127,000 in middle position, Baumstein folded and Mclaws called.

Norman Shapiro: A♣A♦ All in
David Mclaws: 3♦3♠

Great flop for Shapiro as it came 8♥Q♥7♣, but a brutal 3♣ on the turn gave Mclaws a set and sent him well into the lead. Shapiro had two outs but neither of them appeared on the K♥ river and he was eliminated.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Xingwei Chen opened from under the gun, and action folded to Qiang Wang on the button, who made it 80,000. Chen didn't hesitate and shoved it all in, putting Wang at risk. He made the call, and the cards went on their backs.

Qiang Wang: 8♠8♦ All in
Xingwei Chen: A♠A♣

Wang needed some help from the board, and the flop and turn gave him a few more outs for a possible straight draw with 5♥6♠J♠7♦. But the river brought the A♥, giving Chen a set and eliminating Wang.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Stephane Roux raised to 20,000 in the cutoff. Yakov Albaz made it 60,000 on the button, after which Mathew Moore three-bet all in, covering both opponents.

Roux quickly called off, prompting Albaz to lay down his holding.

Stephane Roux: J♥J♣ All in
Mathew Moore: Q♠10♠

Moore paired his queen on the 3♣6♥K♦Q♥ turn, and the 2♥ river did not bring a jack to save Roux, sending him to the exit.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Terence Reid kicked the action off from early position with a raise to 20,000. When play folded its way around to Tarmo Tammel in the small blind, he moved all in for 68,000.

Reid requested a count of the all-in stack, and once confirmed, he made the call.

Tarmo Tammel: 10♠10♦ All in
Terence Reid: A♥5♥

The action flop of 7♦10♥J♥ had something for both players. Middle set for Tammel and a flush draw for Reid.

There was immediate service for Reid on the Q♥ turn, and when the board didn't pair on the 2♠ river, Tammel gathered his belongings and headed towards the exit.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Yinan Zhou opened to 20,000 from middle position and Gareth Devereux shoved for his last 50,000 on the button. It was folded back to Zhou, who called to put Devereux at risk.

Gareth Devereux: A♠K♥ All in
Yinan Zhou: K♦10♦

Devereux got it in well ahead, but the Q♠J♥2♠ flop gave Devereux a real sweat against Zhou's open-ended straight draw.

The 8♣ turn changed nothing, but the 9♥ river filled Zhou's straight — eliminating Devereux from contention.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Justin Liberto raised to 26,000 from the small blind and Anderson Almonte shoved for a bit over 200,000 from the big blind. Liberto quickly tossed in a single chip to indicate a call and hands were revealed.

Anderson Almonte: 5♥5♣ All in
Justin Liberto: 8♣8♦

Almonte would need some help with his lower pair, but the 3♠Q♥7♦J♣6♦ runout changed nothing — leaving Liberto best with his eights to end Almonte's Main Event run.
