Anton Kraous Eliminated in 7th Place ($160,500)

Frank Visser

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Anton Kraous raised to 200,000 in the hijack and Bobby James three-bet his button to 670,000. Kraous then quickly jammed all in for 1,320,000 once the action had folded back to him.

James made the call after 30 seconds or so, putting Kraous at risk for the second time since the start of the level.

Anton Kraous: K♠J♠ All in
Bobby James: A♥J♦

James had Kraous dominated. The 5♠9♦10♥ flop provided the Bulgarian with a gutshot straight draw for some extra outs, but the 9♣ turn and 2♥ river failed to improve his hand.

He left the final table in seventh place as the last player eliminated from Day 5 of the Main Event.

Dan O'Hair

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Anton Wigg opened to 175,000 first to act with A♥J♣ and was called by Andrea Dato on the button. Oliver Weis squeezed to 800,000 from the small blind, which got a fold from Wigg, but a back-shove from Dato for 2,730,000.

Weis snap-called and a showdown was held.

Andrea Dato: J♠J♦ All in
Oliver Weis: Q♠Q♣

It was a bit of a cooler for Dato, and the Q♦9♠2♥9♣3♦ runout needlessly improved Weis to a full house to eliminate Dato in eighth place.

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Timo Kamphues opened to 275,000 from early position and Oliver Weis three-bet to 480,000 from the small blind.

It was folded back around to Kamphues, who called all in for 375,000 total and hands were revealed.

Timo Kamphues: A♦8♦ All in
Oliver Weis: J♥9♥

Kamphues held the lead with his ace, but the 9♠3♠Q♣ flop vaulted Weis into the lead with a pair of nines.

The J♠ improved Weis to two pair and left Kamphues drawing to four outs. It wasn't meant to be, however, as the A♣ river was too little, too late and Kamphues was eliminated in ninth place.

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Damir Zhugralin opened to 160,000 from the button. Oliver Weis and Anton Wigg called from the blinds.

Zhugralin continued for 185,000 on the Q♣9♣6♠ flop before Weis made it 660,000. Wigg J♦9♥ folded to put the action back on Zhugralin, who called.

The A♦ came in on the turn, and Weis slowed down with a check. Zhugralin bet 550,000 and Weis called to swell the pot to 2,980,000.

The 7♣ put three clubs on the board, and Weis checked. Zhugralin, with 2,110,000 behind, used a time bank before moving all in, and Weis quickly called as the bigger stack.

Zhugralin tabled 10♠10♦ but was eliminated on the final table bubble as Weis had 6♣4♣ for the flush.

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Arian Kashani jammed for 300,000 from the small blind and Georgios Tsouloftas called from the big blind.

Arian Kashani: Q♣5♣ All in
Georgios Tsouloftas: 7♠3♣

Wigg folded Q♦5♦ on the button, which were some of Kashani's pair outs but he remained in front following the 10♠9♣8♦ flop and K♥ turn. However, the 7♦ river gave Tsoulaftas a pair for the checkmark and elimination.

David Salituro

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Philip Joyce thought it was a break after handing over most of his chips to Anton Kraous, but tournament officials put a minute back on the clock and the table played one more hand. "They're trying to get rid of me," Joyce joked.

Andriy Lyubovetskiy then raised to 120,000 on the button and Joyce stuck in his last chips from the small blind. Mikhail Shalamov also came along from the big blind.

Shalamov and Lyubovetskiy checked the J♦6♥4♥ flop and the 2♠ fell on the turn. Shalamov then bet 125,000 and Lyubovetskiy folded.

Joyce showed A♥5♠, while Shalamov had J♠4♣ for two pair. The river was the 9♥ and Joyce was sent to the rail in 12th place.

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Damir Zhugralin opened to 120,000 from early position and Anton Wigg called from the button. Halil Tasyurek jammed for 770,000 from the big blind, folding out Zhugralin's king-queen. Wigg put in the call as the bigger stack and the cards turned over.

Halil Tasyurek: A♣J♣ All in
Anton Wigg: A♥Q♦

Tasyurek couldn't connect on the 8♥7♥5♠6♦6♠ runout, and last year's fourth-place finisher bowed out in 13th place.

Eleftherios Sinnos opened to 120,000 from the cutoff before Oliver Weis made it 380,000 from the small blind. Sinnos reraised for 1,345,000 and put in his last 100,000 after Weis jammed as the bigger stack.

Eleftherios Sinnos: 10♠10♣ All in
Oliver Weis: J♥J♣

Sinnos' pair was dominated and he departed in 14th place after the Q♣7♠A♠A♣9♦ runout.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Halil Tasyurek K♣2♣ raised to 100,000 from the cutoff before Bobby James three-bet to 240,000 from the small blind. Marta Miquel Munoz thought momentarily before jamming for 1,810,000 from the big blind. Tasyurek folded and James quickly called.

Marta Miquel Munoz: A♣Q♦ All in
Bobby James: K♥K♦

Munoz ran into kings, and had three immediate outs, which turned into five after the Q♥6♦4♠ flop. The 10♣ kept James ahead and the 5♣ gave him the checkmark for the pot and bust out.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

On the second hand of the day, Philip Joyce raised to 100,000 on the button and called when big blind Boris Tabiyev moved all in for 250,000.

Boris Tabiyev: K♦7♠ All in
Philip Joyce: J♣7♣

"Are we on dinner break?" Mikhail Shalamov joked as the table waited a few minutes for cameras to get in place and the board to be revealed. The K♣8♠3♣ flop had something for both players, as Tabiyev hit top pair and Joyce picked up a flush draw. The A♣ turn gave Joyce his flush and Tabiyev was left heading for the exit once the J♦ fell on the river.
