Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Tomas Geleziunas opened to 120,000 in the cutoff and was met by a three-bet jam to 1,200,000 from Alan Kelleher in the big blind. Geleziunas made the quick call, slightly covering Kelleher.

Alan Kelleher: A♣5♣
Tomas Geleziunas: A♦K♠

Kelleher's ace was dominated by Geleziunas' ace-king, and Geleziunas improved further when he flopped the nuts straight on Q♠10♠J♥.

Kelleher was now left hoping for a king for a chopped pot but no help arrived on the J♦ turn and 4♦ river, sending him to the exit in 25th place.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Barry McMahon and Glenn Keogh were heads up on a board of 7♦10♦6♥2♣. A massive pot of 2,000,000 chips was already in the middle when Keogh bet 800,000 chips from the big blind, around half his stack.

McMahon responded by going all in with the covering stack, which sent Keogh into the tank. After asking if McMahon had flopped top set and not getting an answer, he put in the call for his tournament life.

Glenn Keogh: Q♣Q♦
Barry McMahon: K♠K♦

McMahon did not have a set but did have the higher overpair. The 10♣ river could not save Keogh, and he left the tournament area after the dealer made sure he was covered.

Andrew Toole: A♣8♥
Tomas Geleziunas: A♥10♥

Geleziunas paired his ten on the 5♠10♠6♠ flop and left Toole drawing dead on the 5♦ turn. The K♦ river did not matter anymore and Toole sought the exit while Geleziunas chipped up to 15 big blinds.

Stephen Henderson: A♠8♥
Emmett Scott: K♠K♦

Henderson needed to find an ace and the 5♦J♠K♣ flop left his hopes hanging by a thread. The J♦ turn confirmed his fate giving Scott the full house and sending Henderson to the rail after the Q♦ river.
