Dan O'Hair

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

Marius Johansen limped from under the gun and just behind him, Mohamed Aissani raised to 3,400. Action folded around to Jean-Philippe Kervella in the big blind, who shoved for approximately 15,000 total. Johansen folded and Aissani quickly called to put Kervella at risk.

Jean-Philippe Kervella: A♠J♦
Mohamed Aissani: K♠K♦

Kervella would need some help to survive, but the 7♣8♥9♠6♣4♣ runout was clean for Aissani and Kervella was sent to the rail.

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

David Docherty had opened in early position and was called by Jose Manuel Gonzalez on the button and Jorge Pardo in the big blind.

On the 6♠4♥7♠ flop Pardo led out with a bet of 7,500, which Docherty called. Action was on Gonzalez, who moved all in for 16,900.

Pardo then re-jammed and, after considering the spot for a couple of minutes, Docherty folded. Gonzalez was at risk.

Jose Manuel Gonzalez: 4♦5♦
Jorge Pardo: 4♠6♣

Gonzalez had bottom pair with an open-ended straight draw, but was in trouble versus Pardo's two pair.

The 9♠2♦ runout did not alter matters and Gonzalez was eliminated, wishing his table well as he exited the tournament area.

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

Georgios Skarparis opened to 2,400 from under the gun, and was called by Vasyl Palandiuk in middle position and the blinds.

On the Q♥3♠5♥ flop Skarparis continued with a bet of 5,300 and was called by Palandiuk only.

On the 9♠ turn Skarparis continued with the aggression, firing out a bet of 10,600. After a period of thought, Palandiuk called.

On the 9♦ river Skarparis checked to his opponent, who promptly moved all in for 8,700.

After two minutes of thought, Skarparis made the call.

Palandiuk turned over J♥10♥ for jack-high, his flush draw having missed, while Skarparis turned over A♣4♣, with his ace-high good enough to take a chunky pot and send Palandiuk to the exit.

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

Kostadin Kostadinov was already all in and at risk for a bit under 20,000 from under the gun against Jimmy Armougom, who had Kostadinov covered from the small blind.

Kostadin Kostadinov: 7♣7♥
Jimmy Armougom: 6♥6♠

Kostadinov was in good shape to double with his overpair, but the 5♥A♣6♦ flop improved Armougom to a set and left Kostadinov drawing slim.

The 2♣ turn and A♦ river kept Armougom out in front and Kostadinov wished his tablemates good luck as he stood up from the table.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Jon Kyte opened to 1,300 from the hijack and was called by Niclas Thumm on the button and Saad Ravate in the small blind. Ivan Zhechev announced he was all in for approximately 17,000 from the big blind and Kyte also went all in for more.

Both Thumm and Ravate got out of the way and hands were revealed.

Ivan Zhechev: 3♥3♠
Jon Kyte: 6♣6♠

Zhechev would need some help with his underpair, but the Q♠K♠9♥4♠K♦ runout changed nothing and Kyte collected the rest of Zhechev's chips.

Patrick Cole

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Richard Leblanc shoved for roughly 10,000 from the small blind and Boris Angelov reshoved over the top for around 30,000.

Richard Leblanc: J♣J♥
Boris Angelov: Q♠Q♥

Leblanc was in bad shape drawing to just two outs and the flop of 9♣A♠Q♣ left him drawing almost dead to Angelov's set.

The K♦ gave Leblanc a straight draw and additional outs, but the 7♣ river confirmed his exit from this flight.

Richard Hayes

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Ismail Akguc moved all in from early position for 7,900 and Vladimir Shabalin followed suit in the next seat, earning folds from the rest of the table, with Akguc at risk.

Ismail Akguc: A♦10♠
Vladimir Shabalin: A♠K♥

Akguc was in trouble with a dominated ace, and the A♥K♣4♥ flop left him almost drawing dead versus Shabalin's top two pair.

The 4♠ turn and 10♣ river completed the runout, Shabalin's two pair with ace-king good versus Akguc's two pair with ace-ten.
