Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Ibrahim Ghassan
Ibrahim Ghassan

Uri Reichenstein opened to 80,000 in early position and Ibrahim Ghassan moved all in for 325,000 a couple of seats over. The action folded back to Reichenstein who made an easy call.

Uri Reichenstein: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Ibrahim Ghassan: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

The flop came {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and Reichenstein was still in the lead with his pair of nines. The {k-Clubs} on the turn improved him to a full house and held on through the {3-Diamonds} river to eliminate Ghassan.

Melogno Increases His Lead

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Pablo Melogno
Pablo Melogno

Anton Siden check-called a bet on the {10-Spades}{9-Spades}{a-Clubs} flop from chip leader Pablo Melogno. The turn {3-Spades} was checked by both players and Siden then bet 400,000 into a pot of around 500,000 on the {j-Diamonds} river.

Melogno used his last three time extensions before calling. Siden showed {j-Clubs}{q-Hearts} unenthusiastically for a rivered pair of jacks and Melogno took down the pot with {a-Hearts}{7-Clubs} for top pair.

Melogno on the Other Side of a Cooler

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Pablo Melogno limped in from early position and Tibor Nagygyorgy made it 120,000 to go from the cutoff. The action folded back to Melogno who shoved all in and Nagygyorgy quickly called off his stack of 675,000.

Tibor Nagygyorgy: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Pablo Melogno: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Not only did Nagygyorgy hold the higher pocket pair, but he also had both of the suits covered. The board ran out {10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{9-Spades} and Melogno sent over a double up.

Salter Eliminates Khamidullin

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Timur Khamidullin
Timur Khamidullin

Jack Salter raised it up from the hijack and Timur Khamidullin shipped all in for his last 190,000 in the big blind. Salter quickly called and the cards were tabled.

Jack Salter: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Timur Khamidullin: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

Salter was in bad shape but the flop of {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} helped him out significantly. The {4-Hearts} on the turn and the {2-Spades} on the river couldn't save Khamidullin as he headed to the payout desk.

Coutinho Eliminated; Play Down to Three Tables

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Sergio Coutinho held {j-Hearts}{q-Hearts} and was all in against Manuel Bardon holding {j-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

The flop came {2-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{6-Hearts} giving Coutinho a flush draw, and the {j-Spades} turn gave him a pair to go with it.

Unfortunately for him, the river was the {5-Spades} and Bardon sent him to the rail, bringing the tournament to three tables.
