"PKaiser" Eliminated in 4th Place ($4,088)

Level 36 : 30,000/60,000, 7,500 ante

Action folded around to "arucia" on the button who raised to 150,000 and in the small blind was "PKaiser" who shoved 1,224,506. "barrybarry15" called from the big blind and "arucia" folded.

"PKaiser": {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
"barrybarry15": {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

The flip was completely one-sided once the {7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Hearts} landed on the board, giving "barrybarry15" a set of hockey sticks and "PKaiser" was then drawing dead to the {5-Spades}{10-Diamonds} runout, being eliminated in fourth place.

"Unknownplay3r" Eliminated in 5th Place ($2,862)

Level 35 : 25,000/50,000, 6,250 ante

"Unkownplay3r" moved their 734,567 stack into the pot from under the gun and "arucia" called on the button, everyone else folded.

"Unknownplay3r": {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
"arucia": {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop brought a straight draw for "Unknownplay3r" to go with their ace to stay alive. A {6-Clubs} turn card and {q-Hearts} river card were of no help, sending "Unknownplay3r" to the curb.

Level 35 : 25,000/50,000, 6,250 ante

The action folded around to "G00RG3" on the button who elected to push all in for 549,425 and found one caller in "barrybarry15".

"G00RG3": {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
"barrybarry15": {a-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

The flip saw "barrybarry15" take the lead when a {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop rolled out. An {a-Spades} turn card left "G00RG3" in need of a hand but the {9-Diamonds} river was of no avail. "barrybarry15" continued their dominance, eliminating yet another player.

"Repsej51": {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
"TrollKonst8": {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

A tough spot for "Repsej51" did not get any easier when a {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop landed. The {3-Hearts} turn and {2-Spades} river also failed to improve their hand as "TrollKonst8" secured the pot, dropping "Repsej51" from thee tournament.
