Leathley Eliminated by Schulze

Christian Zetzsche

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

The action folded to Guy Leathley in the small blind and he pushed all-in only for current chip leader Sebastian Schulze to quickly call with the far bigger stack in the big blind.

Guy Leathley: A♣J♥ All in
Sebastian Schulze: A♦Q♣

The kicker played on the K♥9♣2♠Q♦5♠ board to send Leathley to the rail early in the final level of the day.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Harold Lam bet 115,000 from early position on a flop of 10♣8♦Q♦ and Alen Tenorio raised to 355,000 in the big blind. Lam then reraised to 1,000,000, Tenorio moved all in, and Lam snap-called for his last 1,800,000.

Harold Lam: 10♥10♦ All in
Alen Tenorio: J♥9♦

Lam had flopped a set, but Tenorio had a straight and left Lam needing the board to pair to stay alive. The A♦ turn gave Lam additional outs to a flush, but he missed the 2♣ river and the start-of-day chip leader was sent to the rail.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Steven Touito, Santiago Montes and Greg Merson just got all of their chips in the middle in a three-way all-in. Montes had the biggest stack and had the chance to bust two players, while Touitou was the shortest stack with the opportunity to triple up.

Steven Touitou: J♦J♣ All in
Greg Merson: A♠K♥ All in
Santiago Montes: A♦K♣

It was a great spot for Touitou as Merson and Montes both had the same hand, removing some of the cards they needed to win.

The dealer put out a flop of 5♣9♥6♠, keeping Touitou's jacks in front. The 6♥ turn meant only a king or ace on the river would end his tournament. The dealer burned a card and then peeled off the K♠ on the river, producing a groan from the table. Touitou was out, while Merson and Montes fist-bumped across the table as they chopped up Touitou's chips.

Greg Merson	1,200,000 100,000	100,000

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Jason Mann shoved for 140,000 from the button and Chih Fan called with a covering stack from the big blind to put him at risk.

Jason Mann: K♥J♥ All in
Chih Fan: A♣9♣

The 2♦A♠9♥5♦6♣ runout left Mann drawing dead by the turn and he was sent to the rail while Fan dragged in the last of his chips.

Eychenne Takes No Prisoners

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

From early position, William Pengelly opened to 80,000 and was three-bet to 280,000 by Thomas Eychenne in the next seat. Oliver Entine then four-bet to 1,380,000, leaving himself just 40,000 behind. Action folded back to Pengelly, who went deep into the tank before ultimately folding.

Eychenne rechecked his cards and called, mistakenly thinking Entine was already all in. He tabled pocket aces prematurely, then quickly apologized to the dealer and Entine upon realizing his mistake.

The dealer spread the flop of 2♠6♦J♣, prompting Entine to joke, “I have one big blind, please let me keep it?” But Eychenne put him all in, and Entine made the call.

Oliver Entine: Q♠Q♣ All in
Thomas Eychenne: A♠A♦

Entine needed to find a queen to crack the aces of Eychenne and remain in the tournament. The 4♦ turn and 8♥ river didn't help Entine, and all of his chips were sent over to Eychenne.

Player	Chips	Progress
Thomas Eychenne	5,300,000 2,200,000	2,200,000
William Pengelly	3,000,000 200,000	200,000

Wintersberger Eliminated by Padilha

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

In a battle of the blinds, David Wintersberger had checked the A♣7♣3♣ flop and Murly Manokharan moved all-in with the marginally covering stack. That sent Wintersberger into agony and he even apologised to the rest of the table while remarking "sorry guys, I really don't know what to do" before staring at the ceiling and back at the table.

Wintersberger ended up folding and then pushed all-in with a shorter stack of around eight big blinds soon after. Pedro Padilha was the one to call out of the big blind.

David Wintersberger: A♠7♦ All in
Pedro Padilha: Q♦10♦

The 10♥7♠3♥ flop gave both players a pair and Padilha took the lead. Nothing changed with the K♣ turn and the 9♥ on the river sealed the fate of Wintersberger.

Player	Chips	Progress
Pedro Padilha	5,400,000 1,020,000	1,020,000
Murly Manokharan	1,025,000 75,000	75,000

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Nate Silver raised it up on the button and Daniele Primerano called from the big blind. The flop came Q♦9♦5♥ and Primerano check-called bets from Silver on the flop as well as the 7♥ turn which created a pot of 1,300,000.

The river was the 4♣ and Primerano checked one more time. Silver pushed all in for 1,090,000 and Primerano asked for a count. After thinking for a couple of minutes, Primerano looked him up. Silver turned over K♦J♦ for a missed combo draw while Primerano held K♥Q♠ for top pair.

Blom Busts Main Event

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Tony Gregg was in the hijack when he raised to 80,000. Viktor Blom then put in his stack of 905,000 from the hijack, which Gregg called after careful consideration.

Viktor Blom: 8♥8♦ All in
Tony Gregg: A♥Q♠

Gregg paired his ace on the K♣A♣K♦ flop, leaving Blom with two outs in the deck. Neither the J♣ turn nor the 2♦ river could save Blom, who said his goodbyes from the feature table before leaving the tournament area.

Tony Gregg	2,815,000 1,145,000	1,145,000
