Muhamet Perati Eliminated in 18th Place ($360,000)

Christian Zetzsche

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Kenny Hallaert raised to 1,600,000 in middle position and Muhamet Perati moved all in for 17,000,000 in the small blind. Hallaert snap-called once action got back to him.

Muhamet Perati: A♥Q♥ All in
Kenny Hallaert: A♣K♦

The underdog pulled ahead on the Q♠7♦3♥ flop, while the J♦ turn provided more outs for Hallaert with the Broadway draw. The river brought the K♣ and Perati turned away from the table in disgust after Hallaert spiked a pair of kings. The Italian snapped a photo of the board before making his exit in 18th place.

All remaining 17 players have now locked up at least $450,000 for their efforts and Hallaert jumped back towards the upper echelon of the leaderboard.

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Michael Mizrachi opened to 1,600,000 from under the gun with [10h10d and Sergio Veloso defended A♦4♥ in the big blind.

Veloso checked on the flop of A♣6♦Q♦ and Mizrachi bet 900,000. Veloso called after hitting top pair. Both players then checked on the 6♠ turn.

Veloso bet 2,000,000 on the 5♥ river and Mizrachi folded, despite carving out two stacks of chips as if to raise.

The next hand, Muhamet Perati raised to 1,600,000 in middle position and Braxton Dunaway called in the cutoff as Mizrachi defended his big blind.

Mizrachi checked on the Q♥A♦J♥ flop and Perati bet 1,500,000. Dunaway folded and Mizrachi check-raised to 5,000,000. Perati called.

Mizrachi bet 8,400,000 on the 9♥ turn, and Perati folded.

Maksim Pisarenko raised to 1,500,000 in the small blind and Joseph Ozimok called in the big blind.

The flop came A♦7♦3♦ and Pisarenko continued for 800,000. Ozimok called and they both checked the 5♥ turn.

Pisarenko then bet another 1,300,000 on the 7♠ river, but this time Ozimok raised to 4,600,000. Pisarenko spent a few minutes considering the decision until calling with K♥5♦, but Ozimok had 9♦7♣ for trips to win the pot.

Adam Lamers

Level 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Adam Hendrix raised to 1,200,000 in the cutoff and Tomas Szwarcberg slid out a three-bet to 7,700,000 in the small blind, leaving himself with just 600,000 behind. Hendrix just called, and they went to a flop of Q♠5♠4♥. Szwarcberg checked to Hendrix who announced all in, and Szwarcberg called off the last of his chips.

Tomas Szwarcberg: A♠8♣ All in
Adam Hendrix: A♥Q♣

Hendrix was in a commanding lead with a pair of queens but the 3♥ on the turn provided some chop outs. The 8♥ on the river paired Szwarcberg, but it was not enough to keep his tournament hopes alive.
