Level 15 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Sam Grafton had shoved in his stack of 139,000 from the small blind and was called by Steve O'Dwyer in the hijack.

Sam Grafton: K♦9♣ All in
Steve O'Dwyer: K♣10♣

Grafton was dominated by O'Dwyer's better king, but Grafton made two pair on the K♥7♣9♥ flop to take the lead.

The deck did not have a ten in store for O'Dwyer on the 8♣4♦ runout, seeing Grafton double up and O'Dwyer being left with just under ten big blinds.

Level 14 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Sam Greenwood, the runner-up of yesterday's €20,000 buy-in event, pushed in his final 84,000 chips from early position and was looked up by Vladimir Korzinin in the small blind, who covered him by a mere 2,000 chips.

Sam Greenwood: 7♠7♦ All in
Vladimir Korzinin: A♦10♥

Korzinin paired up on the 8♣10♠J♠ flop, but it gave Greenwood a gutshot at the same time. However, Greenwood's outs failed to appear on the 6♠2♦ runout, eliminating him well before the money.

Level 14 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Action folded around to Ren Lin, who moved all in from the small blind. Vladimir Korzinin called in the big blind with a short stack of just 38,000 and players flipped their cards.

Vladimir Korzinin: A♣3♠ All in
Ren Lin: Q♦4♦

The board ran out Q♣K♦8♥3♣3♥ and Lin got ahead on the flop before Korzinin made trip threes with the turn and river to double his stack.

Ren Lin moved all in under the gun for 88,000 and was called by Vladimir Korzinin in the seat next over. The rest of the table got out of the way before the players showed down.

Ren Lin: K♥9♥ All in
Vladimir Korzinin: 8♥8♣

Lin won the flip when he paired his king on the K♣4♦10♠6♣2♦ board, doubling him up while leaving his opponent with less than five big blinds.

Level 14 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Mike Watson open raised to 22,000 from late position, Enrico Camosci called on the button and Biao Ding called in the big blind.

The flop came 10♥4♠K♦ and action checked to Camosci, who bet 25,000. Only Ding made the call. The turn came the J♦ and Ding checked. Camosci bet 60,000 and Ding check-raised all in for 150,000, which Camosci called.

Ding flipped over K♣9♣ for a pair of kings and Camosci had K♥J♣ for two pair, kings and jacks. The river was irrelevant, Camosci won the pot and Ding was eliminated from the tournament.

Level 14 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Jamil Wakil and Gerard Pique were heads up on a flop of 7♦5♠4♥. Wakil had put in a bet from the big blind, after which Pique jammed to put his opponent at risk for a total of 110,000.

Wakil instantly called and the cards were turned over.

Jamil Wakil: 5♥4♣ All in
Gerard Pique: J♥J♣

Wakil had a big lead with his flopped two pair, although Pique had counterfeit outs. The A♠ turn brought even more of them, but the J♦ river saw him hit a set instead to bust Wakil.
