Having lost a big pot in the previous hand with A♥Q♠ to Timothy Adams K♣K♦ on 10♣Q♦10♠4♥K♠, Orpen Kisacikoglu was all in from the button for his last 88,000. Timothy Adams made the call from the small blind an attempt to take the rest of Kisacikoglu's stack.

Timothy Adams: K♦Q♠

Both players hit the 8♣2♠Q♦ but Adams had the best of it with top pair. He held through the 7♠ turn and the A♣ river to eliminate Kisacikoglu from the tournament.

Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Nikita Kuznetsov opened to 12,000 from under the gun. Action folded around to Thomas Santerne who defended the big blind.

Santerne checked the K♠9♠6♥ flop to Kuznetsov who then bet 6,000. Santerne then put in the check-raise to 16,000 before Kuznetsov four-bet all in for around 80,000. Santerne made a quick call and both players showed down.

Nikita Kuznetsov: Q♣Q♦
Thomas Santerne: K♥10♣

Kuzentsov was drawing to two outs to make a set, but he didn't get there on the A♣ turn nor the 6♣ river and Santerne's pair of kings confirmed Kuzentsov's elimination from the tournament.

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action was picked up with Ben Heath all in for 133,000 after Thomas Santerne had opened from the button for 12,000. Orpen Kisacikoglu reraised all in for 300,000 from the big blind and Santerne quickly folded.

Ben Heath: 5♦5♥
Orpen Kisacikoglu: A♦Q♠

The J♥4♣10♥ presented the nut straight draw for Kisacikoglu but Heath's pocket pair still remained ahead. The 4♠ turn gave Heath two pair before Kisacikoglu spiked the Q♥ on the river to give him a better two pair, sending Heath to the rail.
