Level 43 : 500,000/1,000,000, 125,000 ante
munchenHB vs Nelepo10
munchenHB vs Nelepo10

Michael "munchenHB" Telker raised to 2,000,000 from under the gun and Patrick "Nelepo10" Ulysséa defended. The flop was {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}{7-Spades} and Ulysséa check-called 1,500,000 from Telker.

The turn brought the {6-Hearts} and Ulysséa check-called a hefty second barrel of 8,000,000 from the American.

The {4-Spades} completed the board on the river and Ulysséa checked a third time. Telker emptied the clip with a bet of 18,000,000 and Ulysséa spent nearly a minute in the tank. He called it off but mucked when Telker showed him a flush with {j-Spades}{8-Spades}.

Xiaoxiao "W.Leung" Niao Eliminated in 5th Place ($40,538)

Level 42 : 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante
Boootsy vs W.Leung
Boootsy vs W.Leung

In back-to-back hands, Xiaoxiao "W.Leung" Niao met his demise to leave the field with four players. In the first hand, it was the Brazilian who raised to 1,600,000 second to act.

Eli "Timunim" Fagundes three-bet to 6,400,000 from the small blind, Niao four-bet shoved for 33,329,304 and Fagundes, after slight hesitation, called it off for 19,681,606 more.

Eli "Timunim" Fagundes: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Xiaoxiao "W.Leung" Niao: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

It was a classic race between two monster hands and Fagundes' queens remained ahead during the {10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades} rundown.

Left with a little over 7M, Niao shoved from under the gun the next hand and was looked up by "Booosty" in the big blind.

Xiaoxiao "W.Leung" Niao: {a-Spades}{6-Hearts}
"Boootsy": {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

Despite picked up a double gutter along the way to go with his overcards, Niao couldn't get there on a {7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{10-Spades} to depart in 5th place ($40,538).

ON the {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop, Ulysséa checked, "Boootsy" bet 2,050,000, Ulysséa check-raised to 5,520,000 and "Boootsy" called. The turn brought the {7-Diamonds} and Ulysséa check-folded to a 13,708,580 shove.
