Andrew Barnes opened to 6,000 from the hijack and Jonathan Little three-bet to 65,000 from the big blind, leaving just 6,000 behind. Barnes called off for slightly less to put himself at risk.

Andrew Barnes: A♦Q♦
Jonathan Little: A♥K♥

Barnes was in rough shape with a smaller ace and failed to improve on the A♣4♠8♥8♣3♦ runout, resulting in his elimination while Little collected a full double up.

The 10♠6♦3♣2♥3♠ board kept the mighty pocket pair ahead and Cormier joined the current big stacks. Also well above the average on the same table are Daniel Weinman, Dominik Alsbach, and Diogo Franco while Kazuhiko Yotsushika had been eliminated earlier on.

"It's a stupid game sometimes," Robert Mather said after walking out of the tournament area. He had gotten it in ahead with ace-queen versus A♠J♦ but the J♥5♠2♦10♦A♦ board had other plans, sending Mather to the rail.

Niveau 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Ivan Deyra raised to 5,500 and Ren Lin went into a brief tank. "You already raised the last hand, maybe you have a really bad hand this time. Okay ..." Lin joked and pushed forward his no gamble no future patch.

The shove of Lin was for 70,000 and Deyra snap-called, then exposed his 10♣10♠.

"No good, you have two outs," Lin joked as he showed his 8♥8♦.

The inferior pair got there on the J♦9♦3♣7♦Q♦ board and Deyra was left with fumes.

His last few chips went in right after with the A♥4♥ and Alex Livingston looked him up with the A♣3♦. Once more, Deyra suffered the blow on the K♠8♣3♥9♣8♦ board to hit the rail.

Niveau 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Recent $25,000 PLO High Roller finalist Tyler Brown was all-in with a short stack and flipped over the 6♦6♥.

He was up against Assad Kamran, who took the flip holding the A♣K♥.

The J♠4♥2♥ flop and Q♠ turn kept Brown ahead but the A♦ river improved Kamran.

"No worries, I will be back," Brown said on his way out and will likely re-enter the competition in one of the remaining three flights at the Atlantis Casino & Resort.

Niveau 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Joao Manana opened to 6,000 from under the gun and received calls from Francis Poirier in early position and Maria Ho in middle position before Christopher Puetz moved all in for 38,500 from the hijack. Bryce Yockey then made it 80,000 from the big blind before Manana moved all in for roughly 135,000. Poirer and Ho got out of the way while Yockey made the call, covering both players.

Christopher Puetz: 8♠8♣
Joao Manana: Q♣Q♦
Bryce Yockey: A♠K♦

Yockey pulled ahead on the K♦3♣6♠ flop with top pair but Puetz took the lead after hitting a set on the 8♥ turn. The 2♥ river was a blank and Puetz secured a full triple up while Yockey took in a colossal side pot and Manana was sent to the rail.

Niveau 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Andre Luchi opened to 8,000 from the cutoff and Sosia Jiang moved all in for her last 22,000 from the big blind. Luchi made the call with a covering stack to put Jiang at risk.

Sosia Jiang: A♦10♥
Andre Luchi: K♦10♣

Jiang was in excellent shape to secure a double up and remained ahead on the A♠Q♠4♦ flop. The 6♥ turn was also clean but the J♥ gave Luchi the straight and the pot while Jiang made her exit from the tournament area.

Niveau 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Tomasz Gluszko and Benjamin Scrogins got their short stacks into the middle and Gluszko had the best of it, while Scrogins had a mountain to climb. They were up against Jeremie Zouari, who had the significantly bigger stack already.

Benjamin Scrogins: J♣10♣
Tomasz Gluszko: A♥A♠
Jeremie Zouari: A♦K♥

The Q♣10♠4♦ flop gave Scrogins and Zouari more equity, and the latter struck gold with the J♠ turn. Scrogins needed a jack or ten to survive, while Gluszko needed a king to chop with Zouari.

Neither came with the 3♣ river and Zouari confirmed a double knockout.

Niveau 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Pedro Padilha had seen his stack drop back to what he started with but he found a premium hand out of the big blind to try and run it up again. His K♠K♥ were up against the A♣J♠ of Ioannis Angelou-Konstas but the A♥10♣5♠ flop brought bad news right away.

Padilha already vaulted out of his chair and gathered his belongings. There was no fortunate escape on the 3♥ turn or 6♣ river to knock out the Brazilian.

Niveau 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

With two players seeing a board of K♥J♠7♦8♠ and roughly 50,000 already in the middle, David Hu was all in for approximately 50,000 and called by Alex Livingston who had a covering stack.

David Hu: A♠A♦
Alex Livingston: J♣J♦

Hu was in rough shape with an overpair, drawing to just two outs to pull ahead of Livingston's set of jacks. The 10♠ river was a brick and Hu was sent to the rail while Livingston collected the last of his chips.
