Level 22 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Efstathios Komitas
Efstathios Komitas

After arriving at the table, three players had all of their chips in the middle with the cards already on their backs. Wojciech Wyrebski was the shortest stack with 290,000, followed by Efstathios Komitas with 330,000. Rainer Rockenstein had them both covered and held the best hand.

Rainer Rockenstein: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Efstathios Komitas: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Wojciech Wyrebski: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

All three players had premium hands and the flop of {9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} left Rockenstein in the lead with his pair of aces. However, the {k-Spades} on the turn gave Komitas a set and a big lead. The {10-Clubs} completed the board and Komitas nearly tripled his stack while eliminating Wyrebski in the process.

Negreanu Eliminated by Verbakel

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

The action folded to Daniel Negreanu in the small blind and he moved all in for 134,000. Remco Verbakel in the big blind peeked at his first card and glanced back at Negreanu, who was already filming with his smartphone.

"You tell me what to do," Verbakel joked and added "if the other card is a deuce, I call," and peeled both cards so they were partly visible on the corner. Verbakel then called and they turned them over.

Daniel Negreanu: {k-Spades}{4-Spades}
Remco Verbakel: {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

The board came {q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Negreanu missed out on both live cards and a straight draw to bow out in approximately 195th place.
