Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

David Benyamine raised to 210,000 under the gun. It folded to Bruno Furth in the big blind, who called to the J♣5♣9♥ flop before leading out with an all-in bet.

Benyamine had about 400,000 behind, and he quickly called off to put himself at risk.

David Benyamine: A♦J♥7♦4♥2♦ All in
Bruno Furth: 9♣7♠7♥6♥5♠

Furth had flopped two pair, and he remained best on the Q♠ turn and 3♦ river to scoop the pot and sent Benyamine to the rail in tenth place, leaving the tournament on the final table bubble.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

James Obst limped in from the small blind. Daniel Aharoni then raised to 180,000 in the big blind, which Obst three-bet to 540,000. Obst was not done yet, and four-bet to 1,620,000. Aharoni just called.

Obst had about 1,000,000 behind, which he pushed in on the K♥K♦4♦ flop. Aharoni snap-called with the covering stack.

James Obst: A♦J♠10♣3♠2♦ All in
Daniel Aharoni: A♥A♣K♣Q♣3♦

Aharoni's flopped trips had Obst drawing slim, and the Australian 25k Fantasy pick left the stage as the 4♠ turn and Q♥ river did not bring in his flush draw.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

David Benyamine limped in under the gun, and Scott Clements followed suit in the hijack. Sam Soverel then raised to 330,000 in the cutoff, Benyamine called all in for 80,000, and Clements called as well.

The 7♥9♠8♠10♦K♣ board was checked to showdown, where Benyamine's K♦Q♥J♣10♥9♣ won the main pot, while Soverel's A♠A♥A♦4♠2♠ won the side pot.

On another table, Aaron Kupin had three-bet to 510,000 preflop and tossed his remaining 150,000 in on the J♦5♣9♠ flop against Daniel Aharoni.

Aaron Kupin: A♠K♠8♠3♥2♥ All in
Daniel Aharoni: A♥Q♥Q♦J♠4♦

Kupin was behind, but he made a runner-runner wheel on A♣4♣ to rake in a double-up.

Not much later, Bruno Furth and Clements got it all in preflop, with Clement's stack of 2,400,000 being at risk.

Scott Clements: A♠K♠3♥3♣2♦ All in
Bruno Furth: A♥A♣9♣4♥3♦

Both players made the same low on the 10♣6♠2♣A♦4♣ runout, but Furth found top set to take three-quarters of the pot; half of Clements' stack.
