Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Ahmad Popal was all in for 2,450,000 from early position and up against Maurice Hawkins in the hijack.

Ahmad Popal: A♣K♦
Maurice Hawkins: Q♠Q♦

The 3♣2♠5♠ flop gave Popal a straight draw, while the J♥ fell on the turn.

"Oh, that's a jack," Hawkins said upon seeing a paint card. The 3♠ came on the river and Hawkins' queens stayed in front to send Popal to the rail.

"I thought the jack was a king," Hawkins said as he ran over to exchange hi-fives with his rail.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Ludovic Geilich got his chips in via preflop flip with A♥K♦ against the 6♠6♦ of Anirban Das, who made a straight on the 7♦5♦3♥4♠4♥ board.

"I will see you there in a minute," John Duthie joked as he was bound to be in the big blind two hands later.

Das then left Clemen Deng on fumes one hand later with queens before Duthie was in the big blind.

Deng called all in from under the gun and Daniel Scroggins raised to 350,000 on the button.

"I don't need to look," Duthie said and called all in as he had paid the big blind ante already.

John Duthie: Q♣3♣
Clemen Deng: J♥4♠
Daniel Scroggins: Q♠J♣

"I am not sure if I should say this, but I folded three-four," Das said.

The board ran out A♣8♠6♠K♥2♥ and Scroggins scored a double knockout for a small pot with queen-jack high.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Daisuke Goto moved all in for 1,300,000 in early position and it folded to Gabi Livshitz in the small blind who made the call. The big blind quickly folded and the cards were on their backs.

Daisuke Goto: Q♥7♦
Gabi Livshitz: A♦Q♣

Goto was in need of help to stay alive, but when the board ran out 6♦5♥2♦9♥J♦, it was the ace-queen that held up for Livshitz to take the pot and send Goto to the payout desk in 71st place.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Pierpaola Lamanna three-bet to 775,000 from the hijack, then called when Ivan Ruban moved all in for 3,075,000.

Ivan Ruban: A♠K♣
Pierpaola Lamanna: J♠J♣

The 2♥3♠J♥ flop gave Lamanna top set and Ruban was already wishing his tablemates luck and getting up from his seat. The 2♦ turn left him drawing dead and the inconsequential river was the 9♦ as Lamanna sent him to the rail with a full house.

Andrei Boghean: J♥10♥
Bryan Obregon: A♣J♣

Boghean was dominated and at risk, finding no help on the 6♠5♥7♠9♠3♦ board as the Romanian heading off to the payout desk.

Estelle Cohuet: K♥10♣

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Andrew Hulme opened to 325,000 from under the gun and Ryan Tosoc put in a three-bet to 800,000 next to act. Tony Dunst called for his last 525,000 and it folded back to Hulme who made the call.

The flop came Q♦10♦6♠ and Hulme check-called a bet of 600,000 from Tosoc. On the A♠ turn both players checked their options to the J♦ river.

Hulme took a few seconds before sliding out a bet of 1,825,000 and Tosoc quickly let it go. Dunst tabled K♥Q♠ for a straight but was no good when Hulme rolled over 9♦8♦ for a straight flush to score the pot and send Dunst out in 66th place.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Sergio Torres raised to 425,000 from early position as action folded to Jose Aguilera in the small blind who three-bet to 1,500,000. Torres then pushed his entire stack forward and Aguilera called.

Sergio Torres: 9♦9♣
Jose Aguilera: Q♣Q♠

Torres found out he was crushed by Aguilera's queens and needed a miracle, but none arrived on the 5♥10♦7♣10♣7♦ board. The stacks were counted down and Torres had 8,200,000 remaining. Aguilera had him covered by about 400,000 and a teary-eyed Torres went off to commiserate with his supporters on the rail.

Taylor Forced Out by Gerrity

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Picking up the action partway through the hand, Spencer Taylor on the button was all in and at risk against Nicholas Gerrity in the big blind.

Spencer Taylor: 4♠4♦
Nicholas Gerrity: A♣9♣

Taylor would need to win a race to survive and did remain ahead on the J♠Q♣K♥ flop. The A♥ turn, however, left him on the brink, needing to find a ten for a chop or a four for the outright win. No miracle comeback materialized, with the Q♠ river completing the board to send Taylor out of the tournament.
