Moshe Refaelowitz Eliminated in 22nd Place ($90,000)

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

Action folded to the player on the button who raised to 400,000 only to see Gabriel Schroeder in the small blind come in for a three-bet to 1,600,000. Moshe Refaelowitz was in the big blind and after a brief moment, he announced all-in for not much more.

The button got out of the way and Schroeder made the snap-call to set up a runout with Refaelowitz at risk.

Moshe Refaelowitz: 9♦9♥
Gabriel Schroeder: A♣A♠

Refaelowitz would need a lot of help to survive the all-in and extend his Main Event run and when the 9♣ appeared as the door card, it looked like that help had come but the relief was short-lived as the 8♣A♥ appeared behind the nine for set over set on the flop.

Refaelowitz would now need the last nine in the deck to survive but when the turn and river came the 2♥ and J♥, his fate was seal as he exited the tournament area in 22nd place for $90,000.

Achille Brings the Field to the Three Table Redraw, Sends Martin Packing

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

Jacopo Achille raised to 400,000 from early position and faced an almost all-in three-bet from Kevin Martin in the small blind to 3,700,000, leaving himself just 100,000 behind. The big blind folded and with action back on Achille, he jammed to get the rest of Martin's chips in. Martin didn't seem happy but did call off his last 100,000 to put himself at risk and set up a runout.

Kevin Martin: K♠J♥
Jacopo Achille: A♣A♦

Martin get the bad news that he'd run into aces and politely requested his "one time" before seeing the flop come Q♣4♦2♠. The 10♣ turn made things interesting with the open-ended straight draw but when the board completed with the 3♦, Martin stood from his chair to make his exit from the tournament area.

Kaput for Kanit

Niveau 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Mustapha Kanit: A♣J♦
Renji Mao: 4♣4♥

The 4♠3♥6♣ flop spelled disaster for Kanit who would need running wheel cards to stave off elimination but when the 6♥ hit the turn, Kanit was drawing dead headed to the meaningless K♣ river.

Kanit stood to make his exit from the tournament area as Mao collected the last of his chips here one level into Day 3.
