Ryan Lashmar

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

In a preflop confrontation Tzai Wei Phua was all in from the big blind for 1,120,000 and up against Justin Vaysman who covered him from the cutoff.

Tzai Wei Phua: K♠K♣ All in
Justin Vaysman: 10♥10♦

Phua's kings stayed in front on the Q♠J♥4♠6♠9♣ runout to double up through Vaysman, who was left with just 55,000 chips.

A couple hands later Vaysman shoved his remaining stack from under the gun and Sean Winter called from the big blind to put him at risk.

Justin Vaysman: 8♦7♥ All in
Sean Winter: J♣9♣

Vaysman was a big favorite with top two pair on the 3♠7♦8♣ flop but the rest of the board ran out 5♦6♥ giving Winter a nine-high straight to eliminate Vaysman.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The cards of Aleks Dimitrov were already mucked by the dealer and the pot was pushed to Alisson Piekazewicz, who had emerged as the winner in a battle of the blinds.

"King nine off suit, cooler," fellow Bulgarian Yuliyan Kolev said after he had said goodbye to his countryman. The A♠3♠ of Piekazewicz remained ahead all the way on the J♦7♥7♠8♦Q♣ board for the Brazilian to score the knockout.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Eric Wasserson raised to 60,000 from under the gun and Benjamin Chalot three-bet to 225,000 on the button. Out of the small blind, Valentino Konakchiev pushed for around one million and Wasserson folded while Chalot called instantly.

Valentino Konakchiev: A♠Q♠ All in
Benjamin Chalot: A♣K♠

The K♣7♦2♥ flop left Konakchiev on the ropes and in need of running cards to survive. One of them came with the 10♣ turn but the 5♣ river provided no help, propelling Chalot further up the leaderboard.

Player	Chips	Progress
Benjamin Chalot	3,450,000 1,000,000	1,000,000

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Gustavo Ortega raised from the hijack to 60,000, which led to a call from Artem Metalidi from the big blind.

The 10♣J♦10♦ flop was met with a check from Metalidi before Ortega chose to bet 35,000.

Metalidi responded with a check-raise to 120,000. Ortega was not done raising himself as he decided to jam and put Metalidi at risk. Metalidi gave it some thought before he slid out his chips to go all in.

Artem Metalidi: K♣Q♦ All in
Gustavo Ortega: A♠Q♠

Metalidi had an open-ended straight draw and overcards, while Ortega held overcards and a gutshot straight draw.

Metalidi was unable to improve on the 5♦ turn and the 10♥ river to be sent out in 20th place.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Alisson Piekazewicz moved all-in for 105,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Daniel Negreanu in the big blind.

"How much is it? I have a very bad hand," Negreanu exclaimed and then called with a smirk after which Piekazewicz jokingly celebrated with a "yessss" to get the last few chips in ahead.

Alisson Piekazewicz: 8♦7♦ All in
Daniel Negreanu: 5♠2♠

The A♥10♦5♣ flop vaulted Negreanu into the lead, but the 9♣ turn and J♣ river gave Piekazewicz the straight for the double.
