Niveau 17 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Chance Kornuth raised to 200,000 from middle positon, and when it folded to Kannapong Thanarattrakul on the button, he three-bet all in for his stack of 1,600,000. It folded back to Kornuth who made the call to put Thanarattrakul at risk.

Kannapong Thanarattrakul: Q♥10♥ All in
Chance Kornuth: A♦K♣

It was a fair fight, but Thanarattrakul would need to improve past the ace-king of Kornuth to stay in the tournament. But once the board ran out 10♠4♠A♥8♥A♠ Kornuth improved to trip aces to take the pot and eliminate Thanarattrakul.

Niveau 16 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Aleksejs Ponakovs raised from under the gun with 9♠9♣, before Kannapong Thanarattrakul three-bet to 325,000 from middle position. It then folded to Sinan Unlu in the small blind, and he four-bet all in for his stack of 2,940,000. Once the big blind folded, Ponakovs folded as well, and Thanarattrakul made the call to put Unlu at risk.

Sinan Unlu: A♦K♥ All in
Kannapong Thanarattrakul: K♦K♣

It was a cooler for Unlu, who jammed into the pocket kings of Thanarattrakul. However, the J♦10♥Q♦ flop turned things around quickly, as Unlu flopped the nuts with a Broadway straight. The J♣ on the turn gave Thanarattrakul an out to win the pot, to go along with his chop outs. But the 7♦ on the river was no help, and Unlu secured a massive double up.
