Another Two Eliminated

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Cheng Ching-Weng sent an opponent to the rail after winning a flip with {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} versus {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} on the board of {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{3-Spades}{Q-Spades}{6-Spades}.

Moments later, Karel Chaloupka ran with {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} into the {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades} of Jean-Noel Thorel and the field was reduced to the last 33.

One bigger pot was played still as Vyacheslav Stoyanov raised to 4,500 and picked up calls by Rui Figueredo and Pedro Oliveira. On the {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop the action checked to Stoyanov and he bet 9,000. Only Oliveira called and checked again the {8-Clubs} turn which prompted the shove of Stoyanov for more than 75,000. Oliveira spent minutes in the think tank and folded.

Big Stack Action on the Bubble

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Pietro Errante and Jeff Cormier tangled in a pot that reached up to 50,000 until the {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts}{K-Spades} river and Cormier checked behind to see Errante turn over {9-Hearts}{9-Spades} for a flush. "Sick river," Cormier sighed and briefly flashed {5-Spades}{2-Spades} for the flopped flush that was no good anymore.

Fahir Han and Vyacheslav Stoyanov got into a big stack versus big stack battle as well and Stoyanov defended his big blind to a raise by Han. After check-calling the {A-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Spades} flop and checking through the {8-Clubs} turn, Stoyanov bet the {3-Hearts} river for 23,000. Han sighed and folded, then said "too much, if you bet 15,000 I call."
