Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

A full board was showing with around 250,000 chips in the pot when Nitesh Rawtani had committed his stack of 184,000 on the river. The board read 3♣J♦2♣5♦10♦ and Vitalijs Zavorotnijs had put in the chips which put Rawtani at risk.

Once all of the hands at the other tables had been completed, the players were given permission to reveal their hands.

Zavorotnijs showed J♣J♠ for a set, but Rawtani was never at risk with his A♦7♦ as he had the nut flush.

Player	Chips	Progress
Nitesh Rawtani	620,000 223,000	223,000
Vitalijs Zavorotnijs	550,000 -211,000	-211,000

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Kfir Nahum opened to 24,000 in the small blind and Yevhen Pavlenko called in the big blind.

Nahum continued for 30,000 following the 3♣J♣10♣ flop. Pavlenko made the call to see a turn.

The turn came 6♦, prompting Nahum to move all in with the covering stack. It did not take long for Pavlenko to call off for his tournament life. After several minutes, during which three other all in and calls were run out, the cards were put on their backs.

Yevhen Pavlenko: 10♥3♥ All in
Kfir Nahum: 8♦5♠

Nahum was drawing dead to Pavlenko's flopped two pair to hand the at-risk player a full double prior to the inconsequential 4♦ river.

Player	Chips	Progress
Yevhen Pavlenko	475,000 209,000	209,000
Kfir Nahum	365,000 -225,000	-225,000

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Carlos Gomez raised to 16,000 in the hijack and Sergio De Lisboa three-bet to 35,000 in the cutoff. Kristen Foxen then made it 75,000 to go on the button, which only De Lisboa called.

Foxen fired another 28,000 on the 2♣3♦7♥ flop and was check-called by De Lisboa. The A♦ turn was checked through before De Lisboa jammed all in for 95,000 on the Q♠ river.

"I have an ace," Foxen declared. After some more table talk, she mucked her hand, and was shown Q♥Q♣ by her opponent, for a rivered set of queens.

Player	Chips	Progress
Kristen Foxen	345,000 -168,000	-168,000

Sergio De Lisboa	334,000 111,000	111,000

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Kaushal Vasa raised to 16,000 from middle position and Mauro Ferreira three-bet to 45,000 from late position. The action folded to Daniel Negreanu in the big blind, who only had 46,000 left in front of him. He glanced at his cards, contemplated it for a bit but then got out of their way. Vasa four-bet shoved for his last 105,000 for Ferreira to call with the bigger stack.

Play was paused until all action was completed on all other tables and the whole media circus flocked to their table. Jack Effel announced the situation and asked the players to reveal their cards.

Kaushal Vasa: K♣K♦ All in
Mauro Ferreira: A♥A♦

The field gasped and cheered at the same time.

The dealer dealt the 3♠J♦2♠ on the flop to keep Ferreira ahead.

The turn was the Q♠, which didn't change things, and neither did the 2♣ as the aces of Ferreira held to get the field down to 1,518, just one spot from the money.

Player	Chips	Progress
Mauro Ferreira	742,000 107,000	107,000
Daniel Negreanu	38,000 -36,000	-36,000

Kaushal Vasa	Busted
