Mitchell Smith Eliminated in 15th Place ($23,600)

ClaudioElizalde

Niveau 40 : Blinds 1,300,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Mitchell Smith went all in and Darrick Arreola went all in for much more directly to his left. The rest of the table folded and it proved to be a flip.

Mitchell Smith: 6♦6♠
Darrick Arreola: A♠K♦

Arreola's rail was shouting for a king in the window but the dealer did them one better when the Q♦10♠J♠ rolled off consecutively, giving him Broadway. Smith was a far way from catching up, as he'd need to somehow end up with a boat to win.

When the 4♠ rolled off, Arreola couldn't help himself and he burst into celebration and rushed to his rail. Smith was led on a long walk to payout after he put on a tremendous performance.

Ian Steinman Eliminated in 16th ($23,600)

Niveau 40 : 1,300,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Dae Woong Song was under the gun and open jammed all in. It folded all the way to Ian Steinman in the small blind who also announced all in. The big blind folded and immediately Steinmann said that he didn't know that the player under the gun had went all in. None the less the action stayed and the cards hit their backs with Steinmann all-in and at risk.

Ian Steinman: J♥6♦
Dae Woong Song: Q♥J♣

The full board ran out 9♥4♦7♥8♠A♦ and Steinman would hit the rail in 16th place.

Ghadi Akari Eliminated in 17th Place ($23,600)

ClaudioElizalde

Niveau 40 : 1,300,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

The pay jump between between 17th and 18th place was a close one and a very short-stacked Ghadi Akari caused a bit of controversy as a player at one of the other tables yelled to him that they wouldn't be acting until he did, as it was supposedly obvious he was just tanking for the ladder.

The floor stepped in and counted down both players' hands after a minute, but Akari did the pseudo all-in trick, leaving himself one chip behind and another opportunity to consider his options when Max Kingstone went all in over the top, after an all-in had been declared at the opposing table. Akari made the call.

Ghadi Akari: A♣3♣
Max Kingstone: 7♦5♣

The flop made Kingstone a pair of sevens as the J♠7♥K♦ rolled off, the board paired with a K♠ on the turn and the river peeled the 8♣, eliminating Akari in 17th place just moments after a player at the other table got 18th.

Daniel Scalfaro Eliminated in 18th Place ($19,020)

ClaudioElizalde

Niveau 40 : 1,300,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Daniel Scalfaro and Moshe Refaelowitz were all in on the flop of 8♣6♦Q♣.

Daniel Scalfaro: Q♦4♦
Moshe Refaelowitz: A♣J♣

The turn was the 4♣, giving the flush to Refaelowitz, but hope wasn't over for Scalfaro as he could still catch a queen or a four to make a full house. It wasn't meant to be as the 2♠ completed the board and left Scalfaro with just the felt in front of him.

ClaudioElizalde

Niveau 39 : Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante

Mitchell Watson went all in and was called by Darrick Arreola, who had the overwhelming chip lead.

Mitchell Watson: A♠2♠
Darrick Arreola: K♣Q♣

Watson was ahead with ace high but it's a long road to a full board. He remained ahead when the 8♥7♥2♥ rolled off, as no one had a heart. The turn was the J♣ and Arreola stole the show when the K♠ rolled off, pushing his stack well over 100,000,000.
