Calum Grant

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Start of day chip leader Rokas Asipauskas opened to 100,000 from the hijack and was called by Hengtao Zhu from the button. Diogo Coelho then jammed for 420,000 from the small blind. Asipauskas folded to put the action on Zhu. Zhu shrugged his shoulders, and chucked in a chip after some thought.

Diogo Coelho: A♣8♣ All in
Hengtao Zhu: 10♦8♦

Coelho had Zhu dominated, and looked certain for a double after the K♣Q♠7♠ flop and 3♦ turn. However, the 10♥ came on the river, giving Zhu a pair to secure the elimination.

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Lazare Kalebashvili opened to 100,000 from the cutoff. Gabriele Guerrini three-bet to 780,000 from the small blind, leaving 150,000 behind. Kalebashvili jammed, and Guerrini put in his last few chips.

Gabriele Guerrini: A♦8♥ All in
Lazare Kalebashvili: A♠K♣

Guerrini called for the 8♠, which Thomas Hall "too greedy" but the poker gods didn't think so as the 8♠6♦3♣ flop came down to give Guerrini the pair he asked for.

However, the K♥ turn quickly turned the tables Kalebashvili's favor and he sealed the pot with the 7♣ river.

Sava Krink

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Nizar Comaty shoved all in for 650,000 from under the gun, and short-stacked Diogo Coelho in the big blind called with his 235,000.

Diogo Coelho: Q♠9♠ All in
Nizar Comaty: A♠5♦

The board ran out 4♦4♠7♣9♥4♣, giving Coelho two pair and a big double-up, leaving Comaty short.

On the very next hand, Vasileios Panagiotidis opened from early position, and Comaty shoved his big blind for 365,000. Panagiotidis made the snap-call.

Nizar Comaty: 6♠5♠ All in
Vasileios Panagiotidis: K♥K♠

Comaty needed some help, and while the board gave him a few sweats, nothing came through. It ran out 8♠4♥6♦8♥Q♦, and Comaty was eliminated from the event.
