Dan O'Hair

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Ziyang Cheng: A♦4♦
Gianluca Cabitza: 8♦8♣

Cabitza was ahead with his eights, but the 10♦Q♠7♦3♦Q♦ runout left Cheng best with the nut flush and he doubled his stack.

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Guy Goossens raised to 25,000 under the gun and Alan Mehamed three-bet to 80,000 in the hijack. The table folded back around to Goossens and he called.

The flop came 5♦3♠8♥ and Mehamed continued for 60,000. Goossens called and the 7♥ fell on the turn.

Mehamed then bet another 225,000 and Goossens, wearing his hood low over his head, called to the 4♠ river.

Goossens then moved all in for 386,000 and Mehamed tanked for a minute before calling. Goossens turned over 6♥5♥ for the rivered straight and Mehamed mucked his cards before the dealer exposed his A♠K♦.

Reigning WSOP Europe champion Omar Eljach, already with a bracelet this year, has seen a slow start to his day.

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

With around 150,000 in the middle on a board of J♠8♥3♦2♣, Stepan Budac bet 115,000 from the big blind before Jason Wheeler moved all in from early position.

Budac snap-called for around 200,000 more and turned over A♦A♣. Wheeler, though, had 8♦8♠ for a set and the 4♠ river sealed Budac's elimination as Wheeler moved past 2,000,000.

Aliaksandr Shylko and Manig Loeser were also recently eliminated.

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Georgios Tsouloftas opened to 25,000 from the cutoff and just behind him, Yannick Jobin shoved for a bit over 200,000 on the button. Action folded back around to Tsouloftas, who called to put Jobin at risk.

Yannick Jobin: A♥10♣
Georgios Tsouloftas: Q♣Q♥

The 7♠2♠9♦4♥J♠ runout kept Tsouloftas best with his ladies and Jobin was sent to the rail.

Level 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Levan Rcheulishvili and Davide Brancale went to the river on a completed board of 6♠J♦9♦6♥3♠ when Rcheulishvili bet 52,0000 from early position.

Brancale then moved all in for around 700,000 in the big blind, sending Rcheulishvili deep into the tank. The clock was eventually called and Rcheulishvili allowed the countdown nearly to reach zero before he called.

Brancale then turned over 3♥2♣ and Rcheulishvili slammed down A♠9♠ for nines and sixes as he got up from his seat and paced around the table. A few tablemates got up to give him a fist bump after that hero call that sent Brancale to the rail.

"Beautiful call," one of his tablemates said.
