Thomas Eychenne Eliminated in 47th Place ($200,000)

Kai Cocklin

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Maksim Pisarenko opened to 500,000 from middle position and Thomas Eychenne shoved from the next seat for 4,125,000. When the action got back to Pisarenko, he called.

Thomas Eychenne: A♥K♣ All in
Maksim Pisarenko: K♥K♠

Eychenne needed some help from the dealer, but didn't find much to work with on the 5♠5♥7♣ flop. An 8♥ on the turn left the Frenchman drawing to just an ace, but the 7♠ on the river filled out the board, ending Eychenne's run.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Leon Sturm made it 400,000 to go, and Pedro Padilha three-bet to 1,200,000. It folded back to Sturm, who four-bet to 6,500,000 with 175,000 behind, and Padilha then moved all in for Sturm to call.

Leon Sturm: A♦K♣ All in
Pedro Padilha: Q♦Q♣

The J♥4♦2♥ flop kept Padilha in the lead, and nothing changed with the 8♥ turn either. One railbird loudly demanded a king, but the 3♦ river ended Sturm's run in 48th place for $200,000.

Mitchell Hynam raised to 1,300,000 in the cutoff, leaving just 75,000 behind, and Diego Ponce reraised to 2,500,000 on the button. The blinds got out of the way, and Hynam tossed in his last few chips.

Mitchell Hynam: K♣10♣ All in
Diego Ponce: 6♠6♦

Hynam was racing for his tournament life but found no help on the Q♠3♣3♥5♦8♦ board as the Brit was sent to the rail in 49th place.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Michael Mizrachi kicked things off with a raise to 400,000 from under the gun. Action folded to Joshua Beckenstein in middle position; he made the call with A♣A♠.

Kosaku Akashi on the button then decided to go all in for his last 3,550,000 with 3♣3♥, prompting Mizrachi to fold and Beckenstein to snap-call.

The flop came down 8♥J♦10♦, offering no help for Akashi, and the K♥ turn and the 4♠ river didn't improve his hand, sending him to the rail.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Joey Padron opened to 450,000 from middle position and Albert Calderon called from the button.

Padron continued for 300,000 on the 8♣7♠5♠ flop. Calderon bumped it up to 1,100,000 and Padron called.

Padron checked when the 4♣ came into play, prompting Calderon to jam for 4,575,000. After receiving a count, Padron called.

Albert Calderon: 8♥8♦ All in
Joey Padron: A♠8♠

Calderon was ahead with a set, but needed to dodge Padron's flush draw to stay alive.

The dealer put out the K♠ river, causing Calderon to flinch in his seat as he was eliminated in 51st place.

With the end of the hand, Will Kassouf's one round penalty had also ended.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Lautaro Guerra opened the action in the hijack with A♠J♠ and a raise to 400,000, and Greg Merson in the big blind made the call with 8♣6♥.

The flop came down 3♣8♥Q♦, and Guerra continued for what Merson had left, putting him at risk, and Merson made the call.

Merson was ahead with his pair of eights, but the J♥ turn changed that quickly as Guerra made a pair of jacks. The 9♠ didn't change anything, sending Merson to the rail.

Yuchen Chen: K♠K♣ All in
Braxton Dunaway: A♥A♣

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

For the third hand in a row, Kyle Grupp and Michael Mizrachi clashed.

Grupp opened from the hijack with 9♣8♣ to 400,000, and Mizrachi, sitting on Q♥Q♣, fired back with a three-bet to 975,000.

Grupp made the call, and they went to a flop that came 6♣7♦8♠, giving Grupp top pair and an open-ender.

Grupp led out for 625,000, and Mizrachi responded with a raise to 2,100,000. Grupp came over the top with a shove to 7,800,000, leaving just 25,000 behind. Mizrachi moved all in, and Grupp took his time before the call, putting his tournament life on the line.

With the cards on their backs, Grupp needed a ten, nine, eight, or five to survive. The 2♥ turn offered no help, and the Q♠ river sealed it as Mizrachi improved to a set and sent Grupp to the rail after a dramatic three-hand saga.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Albert Calderon was in the tank from early position and was given 30 seconds to act before he shoved all in for 3,525,000. Maxim Babko also spent some time in the tank before the clock was called on him as well. Babko eventually moved in the last of his 2,050,000 chips and the rest of the table quickly folded.

Maxim Babko: A♣K♣ All in
Albert Calderon: A♥A♦

Babko ran into it as Calderon turned over the one hand he did not want to see. The board ran out 10♠7♦5♦8♥9♠ and Calderon's pocket aces held on to eliminate Babko.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Charles Lee shoved from early position for just over 2,000,000, and Tony Gregg called in the hijack.

Charles Lee: A♥10♦ All in
Tony Gregg: J♠J♦

Lee was behind, but did pick up some more outs on the 10♣7♣Q♠ flop. An 8♥ on the turn left him with one more shot at survival, but he couldn't make it happen as the K♣ on the river sealed his fate.
