Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Diogo Coelho had already opened from the hijack and just behind him, Oleksii Ievchenko shoved for his last 42,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back around to Coelho, who called to put Ievchenko at risk.

Oleksii Ievchenko: K♠Q♠
Diogo Coelho: A♥9♦

Ievchenko would need some help, and the 5♠10♥J♣ flop gave him an open-ended straight draw in addition to his pair outs. It wasn't meant to be, however, as the 3♣ turn and 7♣ river bricked out for Ievchenko — eliminating him from the tournament.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Day 1b chip leader Daniel Koloszar open-shoved for 54,000 from the hijack, then Hussein Abud took his time before raising to 100,000 from the button. The blinds folded, and cards went on their backs.

Daniel Koloszar: A♥10♠
Hussein Abud: 6♥5♥

Koloszar hit top pair on the 4♥6♣10♥ flop, but Abud also found a pair and a flush draw. The 2♣ didn't change anything, but the 3♥ on the river completed Abud's flush, leading to Koloszar's elimination.
