Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Victor Pertile raised from the button and Paulius Plausinaitis called in the small blind. Joey Weissman then moved all in from the big blind with a short stack. Pertile folded and Plausinaitis made the call with more chips. Players flipped their cards.

Joey Weissman: A♣J♣
Paulius Plausinaitis: 3♥3♣

The board ran out K♦5♦7♦8♠9♣. Weissman couldn't find any help on the board and so Plausinaitis won the pot with his pocket threes. Weissman was eliminated from the tournament.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Javey Timmer raised 6,000 in the hijack and called the three-bet of 22,000 from Guillaume Nolet from the big blind.

When the 8♣7♣5♠ flop hit the felt, Nolet continued for 24,000. Timmer responded with a raise to 60,000 and Nolet jammed for about 145,000. Timmer snap-called.

Guillaume Nolet: 10♥10♣
Javey Timmer: 8♦7♦

Nolet had an overpair but was behind as Timmer flopped two pair. The 4♠ turn and Q♣ river were no help for Nolet as he exited the tournament.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

After a few hands without much action at the table, Fabrice Bigot in early position opened to 7,000, and was called only once, by Pablo Melogno in the small blind.

The dealer revealed a flop of A♣7♣8♠, and Bigot made a continuation bet of 7,000. Melogno called, then checked on the turn 10♥. Bigot took his time and eventually called to see the 9♠ on the river.

On this last street, Melogno took the lead and bet 8,500. It was enough to win the pot, as Bigot folded.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Ka Kwan Lau raised from under the gun and Andriy Lyubovetskiy reraised to 24,000 from the big blind, which Lau called.

The flop came 3♥8♥8♣. Lyubovetskiy bet 12,000 and Lau called. The turn came the J♥. Lyubovetskiy led again, this time for 19,000, which Lau called.

The river was the 3♣. Lyubovetskiy bet out 50,000, which proved too much for Lau. He folded and Lyubovetskiy won the pot.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Vladas Tamasauskas opened 6,000 in middle position before Vinicius Pinheiro three-bet 32,500 in the small blind. Tamasauskas went into the tank before eventually pushing a stack of grays across the line to cover Pinheiro. Pinheiro snap-called his stack of 102,000 and both hands were tabled.

Vinicius Pinheiro: A♠K♥
Vladas Tamasauskas: J♣J♠

It was a classic race and the 9♥3♦5♣ flop missed both players. The 2♠ fell on the turn, giving Pinheiro a gutshot straight draw and the 4♦ completed his straight as he collected the double-up.

Vladas Tamasauskas	275,000 -82,000	-82,000
