David Salituro

Joseph Mouawad: 10♠8♠
Sokratis Linaras: A♣10♦

Linaras had Mouawad dominated as the J♥6♦2♣3♦2♠ board provided no help to the former EPT champion who was sent to the rail short of the money.

Benjamin Spragg, Maria Ho, and Elias Gutierrez have also been recently eliminated.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Ahmad Niazi raised to 8,000 under the gun before Yves Bianchetti three-bet to 25,000 in middle position. Mehmet Kolgu then shoved for 105,000 in the hijack. "That makes it easy for me," Niazi said as he folded, but Bianchetti called.

Mehmet Kolgu: A♠10♠
Yves Bianchetti: J♠J♥

Kolgu picked up a flush draw on the turn as the board came 2♠4♥8♦8♠, but he missed the 4♣ river as Bianchetti took the pot and scored a knockout.

"It would've been very interesting because I was thinking about a four-bet," Niazi said.

Michele Tocci: 10♦10♠

Garcia was racing for his tournament life but couldn't connect on the 9♦J♣8♠5♥7♣ as Tocci brought the field one closer to the money.

Richard Hayes

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Viktor Jensen was all-in with 30,000 in the main pot and around 35,000 in a side pot contested between Antoine Saout and Farid Jattin.

The board read 9♠J♦6♣2♠7♠ and Saout put out a bet of 42,000. Jattin went into the tank, and after a reasonable period of time, a tablemate called the clock.

Jattin ultimately folded, Saout showed 3♥3♣ for a pair of threes and that was good enough versus Jensen's K♥4♥ for king-high.

Farid Jattin	300,000 75,000	75,000
