Pedro Marques raised to 400,000 from the button and Jaehyung Park shoved for 1,650,000 from the big blind. Marques instantly called to put Park at risk.

Pedro Marques: A♣Q♦

Park needed to find some help from the dealer or he would be out in fifth. The 10♦2♠8♥ flop propelled Park into the lead with top pair. A safe 6♦ on the turn and a clean 5♠ river meant Park doubled up through Marques.

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Siarhei Alontsau raised to 300,000 from the cutoff with only Pedro Marques calling from the big blind.

The flop came down 9♣J♦Q♣ and Marques checked the action to Alontsau. Alontsau thought briefly before overbet shoving for 2,450,000. Marques snap-called to put Alontsau at risk.

Siarhei Alontsau: A♠A♥ All in
Pedro Marques: J♣9♠

Alontsau had the overpair but Marques was currently in the lead with bottom two pair. Alontsau needed to find an ace or some counterfeiting two pair to stay in the tournament.

The 4♣ came on the turn which took away one of Alontsau's outs, and when the 10♥ hit the river, the pot was sent over to Marques, and Alontsau was the day's first elimination.
