Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The pot had already swelled to approximately 38,000 with two players looking at a flop of 9♦Q♠10♦.

Daniel Koloszar bet out for 13,000 from under the gun. Masato Kashiwabara, to Koloszar's direct left, made the call.

The turn laned the 3♠ and Koloszar moved all in for approximately 50,000, sending Kashiwabara deep into the tank.

The clock was soon called on Kashiwabara, ultimately resulting in him tossing his cards to the muck.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Javier Fernandez Alonso open-raised from the cutoff before the action folded to Jon Kyte, who was waiting in the big blind with a large stack. He put forward a three-bet to 7,600, after which Fernandez Alonso quickly jammed his 26,000 stack in the middle.

Kyte took one more look at his cards before passing them to the dealer, forfeiting the pot to Fernandez Alonso.

The pot stood at approximately 21,000 with two players looking at a board that read 2♣K♣Q♥10♣.

The 8♠ river checked to a showdown. Vinayagamoorthy tabled A♦K♠, for top pair; good enough to send Ogita's cards into the muck.

Action was on the flop on a board of 10♦3♦4♥. Tsugunari Toma was all in against Gabriele Patti, who had Toma covered as players revealed their cards.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jean Autran got his stack of 17,500 in preflop against Adrian Lazar.

Jean Autran: A♠J♠
Adrian Lazar: A♥K♥

Autran flopped a jack on J♦6♦9♦ to take the lead. The Q♦ turn brought some chop outs, but the 7♥ river was a blank and Autran was awarded the pot.

Lazar got up, ready to go, but he was notified that he had 3,000 chips still in his possession. Those went in the next hand, and again it was Autran who looked him up.

Adrian Lazar: K♥7♥
Jean Autran: A♦7♦

This time, the dominating hand would hold on the 10♣2♥9♠9♣5♥ runout, sending Lazar home.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Umberto Zaffagnini raised to 2,500 from middle position, Jean-Patrick Delorme three-bet to 7,200 from the hijack and Tobias Peters four-bet jammed for 25,200 from the button. Zaffagnini moved all in himself and Delorme made a frustrated folded.

Tobias Peters: J♠J♦
Umberto Zaffagnini: K♠K♦

The J♥ in the window brought some hope for Peters until the 7♣K♣ followed quickly behind. The A♥ and 8♦ runout didn't improve Peters and he was sent to the rail.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jean-Patrick Delorme	122,000 122,000	122,000

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Tamer Kamel raised from late position, Davis Mihelsons three-bet to 8,500 from the button and Kamel four-bet to 28,000. Mihelsons moved all in and Kamel called. Mihelsons was at risk as players flipped their cards.

Davis Mihelsons: 9♦9♠
Tamer Kamel: A♥Q♥

The board ran out 8♥10♣J♠J♣A♣. Mihelsons looked good on the flop, picking up a straight draw along with his pocket nines. Kamel, however, paired his ace on the river to win the pot and bring his stack up to around 200,000, while Mihelsons was left with nothing.

Kim Eliminated, Lee Quadruples

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

De Han Kim kicked off the action by making a raise to 12,600 from under the gun, leaving only 600 chips behind. Petr Kubenka then called from middle position before Hwany Lee jammed his 13,900 stack in the middle from the button.

The chips were not done flying yet, as big blind Nuno Duarte fired in his stack of 115,000 chips as well. Kubenka, who played less than Duarte, thought about it for a bit before folding his hand, which he later claimed was ace-king. The other three players showed down.

De Han Kim: A♦3♦
Hwany Lee: Q♦Q♣
Nuno Duarte: A♠K♦

The 9♥2♠10♠ flop helped no one, but the A♥ turn saw Duarte take a gigantic lead. Both Lee and Kim stood up to leave, but the Q♠ river made Lee sit back down as he hit his set at the last moment.

He quadrupled up while Kim was sent to the exit just before the dinner break.
