Artem Metalidi went all in over the top of Alex Keating's open and was soon called for a chip lead pot.

Artem Metalidi: AK
Alex Keating: 66

The flop rolled A62, making a set for Keating, who has been chipleader most of the tournament. Metalidi needed running cards but when the 7 turned he was dead to rites as the 10 uselessly rolled off.

Mroczkowski Turns the Goods

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

Edward Mroczkowski moved all in for 385,000 from early position and Gustavo Mastelotto raised all in for more from the hijack, forcing a fold from all other players to put Mroczkowski at risk.

Edward Mroczkowski: A9
Gustavo Mastelotto: AK

Mastelotto was well ahead preflop with the dominating ace but Mroczkowski picked up a flush draw on the 563 flop. The flush came in on the 4 turn, leaving Mastelotto drawing dead. The J river was inconsequential and Mroczkowski received a full double up with the nut-flush while Mastelotto was left with under ten big blinds.

Laak Runs Out of Luck

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

Phil Laak recently hit the rail.

According to the players at his former table, he got all of his chips in preflop with KxKx in a four-bet pot against Artem Metalidi, who had AxAx. Laak failed to catch a king and was eliminated from the tournament in brutal fashion while Artem Metalidi collected a massive pot.

Yes Sir from Ketzer

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Felipe Ketzer was in the big blind short stacked and after he posted, he put his backpack on, implying he was ready to take the walk to payouts if someone shoved on him. Unspoken, of course. Someone did shove on him and the call was made.

Felipe Ketzer: K8
Gustavo Mastelotto: 97

When the board ran out A5334, king high was good and Ketzer, who has been at risk multiple times on Day 2, managed to double again when he needed it most.
