Andy Frankenberger Eliminated in 22nd Place (€26,611)

Andy Frankenberger - 22nd
Andy Frankenberger - 22nd

Andy Frankenberger got his stack of approximately 150,000 all in preflop and was at risk against Sergii Baranov.

Showdown
Frankenberger: {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Baranov: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

It was a flip, but not after the flop fell {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{9-Spades} and gave Baranov a set. Frankberger stood from his seat, and then after the {9-Hearts} turned, Baranov said, "Goodbye." It was a bit on an unintentional needle, but Frankenberger, a two-time bracelet winner, kept his composure and made a gracious exit after the {6-Hearts} was put out on the river.

Hellmuth and Seiver Clash

On a {10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{Q-Clubs} board, Phil Hellmuth checked to Scott Seiver and checked behind. The {2-Spades} completed the board and Hellmuth shot a bet of 80,000 into the middle. Seiver slowly counted out his chips and made the call.

"Ace-king," said Hellmuth, tabling {A-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}.

Seiver mucked his cards and Hellmuth dragged in the pot.

Vadzim Markushevski Eliminated in 21st Place (€26,611)

Vadzim Markushevski - 21st
Vadzim Markushevski - 21st

After action folded to him in the cutoff, Vadzim Markushevski raised to 22,000. The button folded, and then Stephane Girault opted to three-bet to 71,000 from the small blind. After the big got out of the way, Markushevski moved all in and Girault snap-called.

Showdown
Markushevski: {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Girault: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}

It was another brutal setup over at Table 10, and there would be no chicanery as the board ran out a clean {6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{J-Hearts}. Girault, who had his opponent outchipped by just 42,000, was pushed the pot while Markushevski took his leave in 21st place.

[Removed:138] Eliminated in 20th Place (€26,611)

[Removed:138] - 20th
[Removed:138] - 20th

[Removed:138] opened for 22,000 from the hijack and was met with a three-bet to 50,000 from Christopher Brammer on the button. The blinds both got out of the way, and Guinand came back with a four-bet to 100,000. Brammer thought for a few moments and slid out enough chips to cover his opponent, and Guinand called off for right around 305,000 total.

Showdown
Guinand: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Brammer: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

There have been a lot of pair-over-pair confrontations in Level 19, and this one would cost Guinand his tournament life as the board ran out {J-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{10-Spades}. Guinand shook hands with his opponents before exiting in 20th place, while Brammer was pushed the big pot and vaulted into the chip lead.

Joe McGowan Eliminated in 19th Place (€26,611)

Joe McGowan - 20th
Joe McGowan - 20th

"Yes," we heard Scott Seiver yell from Table 8, "I folded queens." We made our way over to discover that Joe McGowan was all in for approximately 315,000 with {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} against the {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds} of Phil Hellmuth. From what we could piece together, McGown had opened, Seiver flatted, Hellmuth three-bet, McGown moved in, Seiver folded, and Hellmuth snap-called.

Both McGowan and Hellmuth were on their feet to watch the board, which came out {4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. "Good game guys," McGowan said as he lost with the same hand Hellmuth used to win the 1989 WSOP Main Event and made his way to the payout desk in 19th place to collect €26,611.
