Niveau 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Olga Iermolcheva opened to 4,000 from the button before Martin Kabrhel three-bet to 41,000 from the small blind, leaving only 1,000 behind. Eyal Revah then moved all in from the big blind, covering both players. Iermolcheva got out of the way and Kabrhel flicked in his last chip to put himself at risk.

Martin Kabrhel: A♣K♦
Eyal Revah: A♠6♠

Kabrhel looked to be in excellent shape to score a double up but the J♣6♥2♣ flop left him drawing to just three outs. Kabrhel found no help on the J♦ turn or 9♥ river and was eliminated just a few hands after entering the tournament while Revah continued to build upon an already impressive stack.

Niveau 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Erwann Pecheux opened to 4,500 and soccer superstar Sergio Aguero three-bet jammed a stack of 53,000 behind him. Pecheux called with a bigger stack.

Sergio Aguero: A♦Q♥
Erwann Pecheux: A♠K♦

Aguero was dominated and Matthew Wantman informed him that one of his outs was dead. "I folded king-queen," he told the table. "I was drawing dead."

The 5♥2♠8♥ flop didn't change anything, but the 2♥ turn created some flush and chop possibilities. "Heart! Eight!" cheered tablemate Daniel Negreanu, whose shirt was recently ripped by Martin Kabrhel "and those long nails he has."

The dealer then put down the Q♠ river and Negreanu and others cheered as Aguero earned the double.

Andrey Andreev was all-in with the 2♠2♥ and Eyal Revah looked him up in a "classic flip" with the A♠J♠.

The board ran out 8♣6♠5♦J♦8♥ and Evah almost jumped out of his chair in excitement, all the while he was receiving a massage. He then instantly apologised to Andreev, who quickly left the tournament area.

Abdulla Ceesvin opened to 5,000 on the button and Pedro Padilha three-bet to 22,500 in the big blind. Ceesvin called.

Padilha continued for 16,000 on the flop of 5♣6♠J♣ and Abdulla called. On the 8♠ turn, Padilha counted out a bet of around 30,000 and manoeuvred it a bit before placing it back on his stack. He then moved all in for 137,000. Ceesvin called off with slightly less.

Abdulla Ceesvin: 9♦8♦
Pedro Padilha: K♥K♦

Padilha was ahead with kings and Ceesvin couldn't improve as the river bricked off the 10♣ to mark his elimination.

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

Kevin Martin opened to 6,000 from middle position and Dan Stavila three-bet to 17,000 from the cutoff. Martin four-bet shoved for roughly 40,000 and Stavila snap-called to put Martin at risk.

Kevin Martin: Q♦Q♣
Dan Stavila: 10♣9♣

Martin was in great shape with pocket queens but the A♣6♠3♣ flop gave Stavila some outs in the form of a flush draw. The J♥ turn was clean but the flush came in on the 6♣ river to give Stavila the pot while Martin was sent to the rail.

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

Phil Hellmuth, who early today made a grand entrance dressed as Poseidon and surrounded by 17 mermaids, was down to just five big blinds and opened to 11,000 on the button with just 8,000 behind. Ori Eshel three-bet on the button and Hellmuth quickly called off to be at risk.

Phil Hellmuth: K♦J♥
Ori Eshel: Q♥Q♦

There was no sweat for the 17-time bracelet winner as the flop landed Q♠6♦6♠ to give Eshel a boat and have Hellmuth drawing dead.

"Good flop for you," Hellmuth said as he stood from his seat headed to the runout of A♠6♥ confirmed his elimination.

Jack Germaine opened the action with a raise and Namhyung Kim three-bet to 22,000 on the button. Lexy Gavin-Mather then pushed all-in for around 90,000 and Germaine folded, while Kim instantly called.

Lexy Gavin-Mather: A♠Q♥
Namhyung Kim: A♣K♣

The kicker problem was never solved on a board of J♣9♥6♠A♥10♥ and Kim's king sent Gavin-Mather to the rail.

Stephen Garland defended the big blind and then open-jammed a shorter stack on the J♥10♥9♦ flop. Vitor Dzivielevski instantly tossed in a T-25,000 chip for the call and the cards were revealed.

Stephen Garland: J♠5♠
Vitor Dzivielevski: K♥J♦

The 6♠ turn and 3♦ river spelled the end for Garland, who wished all his table mates good luck on the way out.

Stavila Vanishes; Revah Soars to Massive Stack

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

In a pot of around 60,000 to the 6♣5♦4♥3♥7♥ river, Eyal Revah over-bet 90,000 and that sent Dan Stavila into the tank. With a stack of around 360,000 behind, Stavila pondered about his move while Revah kept talking like he had done pretty much the entire day already.

Suddenly, Stavila announced all-in and Revah snapped him off to instantly show his A♥9♥ for the ace-high flush.

Stavila grabbed his cards and placed them right on top of the muck before heading out of the tournament area.

He would later tell friends that he called with the K♥8♥ for the king-high flush, though that cannot be verified.
