Urmo Velvelt: A♥10♠ All in
Simone Andrian: 10♥10♣

Andrian's rail erupted upon seeing that he had the best hand. Andrian joined them and watched as the 6♦2♠9♠ flop was dealt. The 7♣ turn was also clean and the K♥ river sealed the victory for Andrian.

Level 30 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Urmo Velvelt raised to 850,000 from the small blind and Ran Ilani three-bet to 2,550,000 out the big blind. Velvelt then four-bet to 4,000,000 and Ilani jammed for 12,050,000. Velvelt snap-called.

Ran Ilani: A♦K♠ All in
Urmo Velvelt: Q♦Q♣

A classic flip would determine Ilani's future in the Main Event. The flop of J♥4♦4♠ meant only an ace or king could help Ilani. The 10♣ came on the turn, followed by the 3♥ river and Ilani was out in third as Velvelt's queens held up.

Ran Ilani: Q♣J♥ All in
Urmo Velvelt: 8♥7♦

Both players connected with the J♣9♣6♠ flop; Ilani was ahead with top pair while Velvelt had an open-ended straight draw. Ilani stayed ahead when the rest of the board ran out 4♥7♥ and doubled up through Velvelt.

Simone Andrian opened to 400,000 from cutoff and Mariusz Golinski moved all in for 2,400,000 from the button. Andrian called with a covering stack to put Golinski at risk.

Mariusz Golinski: A♥J♠ All in
Simone Andrian: A♣Q♦

Golinski was drawing very thin after Andrian made top pair on the Q♠7♦9♠ flop. The 8♦ turn gave him a gutshot but the A♦ river was a blank. Golinski's deep run came to an end in third place while Andrian continued to add chips to his stack.

Enrico Camosci: A♦J♦ All in
Urmo Velvelt: 8♥8♦

Camosci flopped the nut flush draw but couldn't improve further on the K♥2♦5♦K♠4♣ runout and he became the first to fall on the final day.
