Bogdan Munteanu opened to 200,000 from early position. Davidi Kitai to his left three-bet to 455,000, then Munteanu jammed for 1,405,000.

Kitai went deep into the tank. "This is a gamble spot," he said before making the call.

Bogdan Munteanu: K♥K♠ All in
Davidi Kitai: K♣Q♣

The gamble seemed to pay off for Kitai on a flop of 2♦7♣9♣, but the 7♦5♠ runout didn't complete his flush so Munteanu doubled up.

Down to 490,000, Kitai was eliminated a few hands later.

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

George Tomescu found himself in an odd situation where he's lucky to continue his tournament run but can't seem to build a good enough stack to relax despite getting two pocket pairs.

In a pre-flop all-in showdown with Andrew Yee, Tomescu felt hopeful about his odds when the hands were revealed.

George Tomescu: K♣K♥ All in
Andrew Yee: A♣J♠

The board ran 7♥8♦10♥6♣6♠ and with no ace in sight, Tomescu doubled up building his stack to around 1,250,000 to continue his tournament run.

A couple of hands later, he was in another all-in showdown but this time against Tzur Levy.

Tzur Levy: A♥J♣ All in
George Tomescu: Q♣Q♥

Levy's queens held on the flop of 3♠2♣9♠ and was looking to build his stack further with a chance to eliminate. But the turn A♦ came pushing Levy ahead and to secure Levy's double up, the J♥ was dealt on the river giving Levy a two pair.

Despite winning the hand and staying in the tournament, Levy had to ask Yee, "You said he was on a good run?" Tomescu calm told Levy not to say that as he was still in a good run.

Simon Wilson opened the action to 200,000 from cutoff and got an all-in shove from Joaquin Pacha for around 850,000. Wilson called putting Pacha's tournament life at risk.

Joaquin Pacha: A♠8♦ All in
Simon Wilson: 10♠10♦

Wilson was ahead with his tens and unless Pacha can hit the board with his ace, he would be on his way out the door. The board ran 7♥8♥5♦Q♣2♣. With no ace on the board, Pacha's tournament life ended. As Wilson stacked his chips and Pacha left the floor, someone on the table muttered quietly that Wilson was busting everyone at their table.
