Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Kelvin Kerber moved all in on the button and, after considerable thought, Markus Gonsalves called off for less out of the small blind.
Markus Gonsalves: K?J?
Kelvin Kerber: J?4?
Gonsalves was in excellent position to score a double up, that was until the flop came 3?4?Q?. No help came for the at risk player on the 5? turn or J? river, bringing the Brazilian's deep run to an end in 12th place.

Vitalijs Zavorotnijs moved all in for a little under 2,00,000 and the action was on Truyen Nguyen who went deep into the tank. After a good minute, he finally made the fold and Chris Savage made the call to put Zavorotnijs at risk.
Vitalijs Zavorotnijs: 4?4?
Chris Savage: 6?6?
"Wow! I folded fives!" Nguyen breathed a sigh of relief as the cards were tabled.
The board runout of 2?3?J?K?Q? was of no help to Zavorotnijs and he was eliminated in 13th place.

Joe Liberta and Phil Ivey got all the chips into the middle preflop, with Liberta at risk of elimination.
Joe Liberta: 4?4?
Phil Ivey: K?Q?
Liberta was ahead going into this flip, but the flop of K?3?7? gave the lead to Ivey and the rest of the runout was K?2?, giving him no help and sending him to the rail in 14th place.

Abdella Ali: A?6?

Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Vitalijs Zavorotnijs opened to 500,000 from the cutoff, leaving himself just a few chips behind. A player in the small blind just called with the big blind getting out of the way to send action heads-up to the flop.
The small blind bet enough to force his opponent all in following the 3?J?10? flop and Zavorotnijs called for his tournament life.
Vitalijs Zavorotnijs: K?10?
Small Blind Player: K?Q?
Zavorotnijs had paired his kicker to take the lead, managing to hold on the 8? turn and 6? river to secure a double up.
