Level 17 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

On a flop of 9♠7♦5♦, Marcus Hallabro had bet 12,500 and Yannick Jobin shoved for around 55,000. Hallabro called.

Yannick Jobin: 6♦2♦ All in
Marcus Hallabro: 9♥9♣

Jobin had flopped a gutshot and a flush draw but was up against the top set of Hallabro. Neither the 10♥ turn nor A♣ river could save Jobin from elimination, and he made his way to the payout desk as Hallabro claimed a bounty.

Level 17 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Genc Zekaj was all-in preflop for roughly 40,000 with Dan Maricuta making the call to trust him bust him on the bubble.

Genc Zekaj: A♦K♦ All in
Dan Maricuta: J♦J♣

It was a classic race, but the 10♦6♠10♣ flop didn't improve Zekaj, the 3♥ meant that only an ace or king on the river would keep the tournament on hand-for-hand. The 6♣ came on the river and Zekaj had bubbled the tournament.

Level 17 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

There with around 45,000 chips in the middle on a flop of 5♠2♥J♠ when Stefan Ionita fired 15,000, and Dragos Iosub raised to 45,000. Ionita called.

The 6♣ on the turn drew a check out of Ionita, then Iosub shoved for around 70,000 after a minute of thinking. Ionita snap-called.

Dragos Iosub: J♦9♦ All in
Stefan Ionita: J♣5♥

Iosub had flopped top pair but was behind the two pair of Ionita with just one card to come. Only a nine or a six could save Iosub, but instead the K♣ dropped on the river, which sent him to the rail.
