Leonard Maue jammed all in from the small blind and in the big blind, Masato Yokosawa called for his last 215,000.
Masato Yokosawa: K♦4♣
Leonard Maue: Q♦10♣
The board ran out 2♠A♥3♣Q♠Q♣ and the three queens was good for Maue to eliminate Yokosawa from the tournament.
Just after that, former High Roller Champion Alex Kulev was eliminated from the other table to bring the field down to just 24 for the redraw.
Khoi Le Nguyen raised to 160,000 from under the gun and Masato Yokosawa three-bet to 480,000 in the cutoff. Action folded back to Nguyen who bet 2,100,000 of his 2,195,000 stack, prompting Yokosawa to jam for the rest and Nguyen called.
Khoi Le Nguyen: J♥J♦
Masato Yokosawa: A♥K♥
The board ran out 10♣9♣10♥3♠7♦ and the jacks and tens were good for Nguyen to take down the pot.
Level: 19
Blinds: 40,000/80,000
Ante: 80,000
The final 26 are going on another 15-minute break.
Play resumes in Level 19 with blinds of 40,000/80,000 with an average stack of 2,900,000.
Shaun Deeb raised to 120,000 from under the gun and Philip Sternheimer called in the big blind.
The flop rolled out K♦6♥5♦ and Sternheimer check-called a bet of 140,000 from Deeb.
Both players checked the turn 2♣ to the river 7♣ where Sternheimer bet 175,000 and Deeb folded.
Three players saw a flop of 2♣Q♠Q♥ with 400,000 in the middle. Action checked through, leading the dealer to peel off the 4♣ turn. Here, small blind Sergio Aido led out for 140,000. Ryan Feldman folded from the big blind, and Vinny Lingham came along for the ride from the cutoff.
The 6♥ river checked through. Aido showed A♣10♣ for a missed flush draw, meaning the 3♦3♠ of Lingham was good to scoop.
Vladimir Minko from the big blind and Christopher Nguyen from early position were tangled in a big pot with around 1,000,000 in the middle by the river.
With the completed board reading A♠A♣Q♠10♥J♣, Minko checked to Nguyen who jammed for around 800,000 effective as the covering stack. Minko would burn through all five of his remaining time banks before he announced, "Alright, donation to the Austrian community," as he put in the call.
Vladimir Minko: A♥4♠
Christopher Nguyen: A♦K♣
Nguyen was always in good shape with the better kicker as both players flopped trips. Nguyen improved to a straight on the river and Minko could not get away as he hit the exit.
At another table, Kristen Foxen was also eliminated
Fahredin Mustafov raised to 120,000 in the cutoff and in the big blind Sam Soverel defended.
The flop rolled out 8♦4♠2♦ and Soverel checked over to Mustafov who bet 70,000. Soverel opted to raise to to 240,000 and Mustafov called.
Both players checked the turn 10♦ to the river 9♣ where Soverel bet 1,000,000 and Mustafov burned a time extension before tossing his hand into the muck.
