De Smet Eliminated

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Laurens De Smet had a roller coaster of a level, and ended it in bad fashion as he just hit the rail. He shoved his last 12 big blinds in from the cutoff with {K-}{J-} suited, but unfortunately for him the big blind woke up with {A-}{K-}. De Smet found no help on the flop, turn or river, and De Smet made his exit.

Not Cool Man

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Rene Kuhlman opened from early position to 3,500 and got a call and a squeeze to 10,000 behind him. He then pushed all in for 37,100 and both opponents folded.

Right the next hand, Kuhlman sat in the big blind and three-bet a player. The player shoved for 50,000 effectively with {A-}{J-} and Kuhlman called with his {K-}{K-}. The board ran out {A-}{Q-}{Q-}{A-}{K-} and despite rivering a full house, it wasn't enough to stay alive. Exit for Kuhlman.
