Daehyung Lee had raised under the gun but Gianluca Cedolia didn't see that when throwing in raising chips from the button. That would soon not matter anymore as Cedolia got it in against Romain Locquet out of the small blind for around 570,000 with Lee getting out of the way.

Gianluca Cedolia: J♥J♣ All in
Romain Locquet: A♥K♥

The J♦10♠8♦ flop gave Cedolia top set but he fell behind on the Q♥ turn. Needing the board to pair, Cedolia bricked the 3♦ river and he was sent to the payout desk while Locquet notched up another elimination.

The cards were on their backs preflop and Henrik Hecklen had the best of it out of the small blind when he was all-in for 630,000 against Seiji Sasaki in the cutoff.

Henrik Hecklen: A♠K♥ All in
Seiji Sasaki: A♥Q♦

The 6♥3♠3♣ flop kept Hecklen in the lead but he fell behind on the Q♣ turn, now needing one of the remaining three kings in the deck. Neither of them came on the 9♣ river and that spelled the end for the Danish poker pro.

Josh Reichard made waves yesterday when he made an epic hero-call with just ace-high on the stone bubble, but the mid-stakes crusher's Main Event run has reached an end.

Reichard started the day among the chip leaders with 3,025,000, but was down to around a million when he found himself all in against Mitchell Hynam, as recounted to PokerNews.

Reichard held pocket queens against the ace-king of Hynam and couldn't win a flip as he was eliminated to earn a payout of $35,000.

The Bell Tolls for Tolley

Nicholas Danias raised to 50,000 from early position and was called by Yuya Sakamoto. Octavian Voegele chose to call from the hijack before Brian Tolley decided to go all in for 400,000 even.

Steven Alper elected to call Tolley's all in. The rest of the table folded after some deliberation to take Tolley and Alper to a showdown.

Brian Tolley: K♣Q♣All in
Steven Alper: A♠K♥

Tolley was behind with a dominated king, but the flop gave him plenty of equity when it fanned out 2♣6♣5♦.

The 8♦ was not what Tolley needed, and the K♦ gave both players a pair, with Alper holding the better kicker as Tolley was eliminated.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Dong Chen raised to 380,000 under the gun, leaving himself just one 5,000 chip behind, and Paul DiMascio reshoved in the hijack. The table folded back around to Chen who checked the clock to see how many players were left before tossing in his last chip.

Dong Chen: 9♠9♣ All in
Paul DiMascio: A♣K♣

"Please," DiMascio pleaded going to the 7♠6♥3♥ flop. "Oh God," he added as he missed the 4♦ turn, but the A♥ river gave him top pair and the bustout.

"Yes!" he shouted out, lifting his arms into the air. "Sorry, I get a little too emotional," he said to his tablemates while Chen was sent to the rail.

"I get emotional, too. You're Spanish, you're bred to be emotional," tablemate Richard Buckingham said to Juan Carlos Vecino.

"But I don't show it at the table," Vecino added.

Myles Barker opened to 50,000 from under the gun and Nazar Buhaiov called in the next seat before Stanley Lee three-bet jammed a stack of around 600,000. Barker folded and Buhaiov called.

Stanley Lee: 9♦9♥ All in
Nazar Buhaiov: J♠J♣

Lee was pipped and no superheroes came to save him as the board ran out A♣A♥K♥2♦2♥ to confirm his elimination.

On a flop of 9♥8♦2♥, Antoni Gotarra bet 90,000, and Jonathan Azoulay then raised it to 350,000 with the far larger stack. Gotarra went into the tank near a pay jump and eventually moved all in for Azoulay to call instantly.

Antoni Gotarra: Q♣Q♦ All in
Jonathan Azoulay: A♥10♥

The turn was a blank with the 4♦, but the Q♥ river put the final dagger in Gotarra's Main Event run, which he had qualified for with an initial investment of only one euro. Other players at the table were discussing his tanking on the pay jump, and Azoulay nodded, "I understand it ... I knew it was coming."

Manokharan Is Running Wells

Weston Wells opted for an open shove for his last 295,000 and Oystein Kristoffersen reshoved to isolate from the hijack. However, Murly Manokharan called all-in for 610,000 on the button and the blinds got out of the way.

Weston Wells: Q♣10♦ All in
Murly Manokharan: A♠A♥ All in
Oystein Kristoffersen: K♥K♣

The aces held on the 8♦6♣4♣J♦J♥ runout, and Wells was eliminated, while the stack of Kristoffersen was cut in half.

Paul Gibbons had jokingly asked, "Doesn't he have a straight?" to Manokharan, who smirked and looked up from his table massage — both even bumped fists.

While Manokharan was busy stacking up the chips, he then realized that he still had the pocket aces and tossed them towards the dealer.

Nicholas Danias opened to 50,000 in middle position and Ohad Geiger three-bet jammed a stack of 285,000 from the button. Danias called with a bigger stack.

Ohad Geiger: A♠K♣ All in
Nicholas Danias: 6♥6♣

The flop of 8♠6♦8♦ absolutely smacked Danias as he made sixes full and he said "give it to me" as the dealer put down the 8♥ turn, somehow leaving Geiger with a chance to win the pot. But the 2♥ river was safe and Danias scored the knockout.

"Might be celebrating too early!" said Ryan Law.

"Hard not to celebrate when I flop a boat," replied Danias.
