Wheeler Shows Pahuja the Exit

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action folded to Vineet Pahuja in the cutoff, who moved all in for 150,000. When the button folded, Marcus Wheeler then moved all in from the small blind, prompting the big blind to fold.

Vineet Pahuja: 10♦9♦ All in
Marcus Wheeler: A♥Q♠

Pahuja was the player at risk, but the 8♣8♠10♠ flop saw him move ahead.

"I don't like that card," Pahuja said on the K♠ turn, as it gave his opponent a whole host of outs to retake the lead.

Sure enough, the 3♠ river was revealed, giving Wheeler a flush and sending Pahuja to the exit.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Yuefan Wang raised to 40,000 in middle position and Nicolas Sagra shoved for around 215,000. Tasuku Maruo also pushed next to him for his last 125,000 and Wang quickly folded:

Tasuku Maruo: A♣J♠ All in
Nicolas Sagra: J♥J♦

Sagra had the best starting hand and improved into a set on the 7♠A♠J♣ flop, but the rest of the board brought 5♠Q♠ to give a runner-runner flush to Maruo and the double up.

Nicholas Fornito got all in for his remaining 150,000 without seeing a flop, and his only customer was Roger Franco, who had a dominating stack as well as a dominating hand.

Nicholas Fornito: A♦4♥ All in
Roger Franco: A♥Q♠

Fornito couldn't improve on the 3♥A♣9♦K♠7♠ runout, and hit the rail as Franco edged closer to the one million chip mark.

Former European heavyweight boxing champion Audley Harrison moved all in for his remaining 15,000 chips, and when Jared Ingles three-bet to isolate, everyone else folded.

Audley Harrison: K♥K♣ All in
Jared Ingles: A♦8♥

"If this is how I die, so be it", Harrison said.

It was as if he knew his fate already, as the window ace on the A♠6♥J♦ flop saw Ingles take the lead.

The 4♦ turn and 3♦ river were no help to Harrison, who headed to the exit.

Successive Eliminations By Kim

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Kenneth Kim was scooping the pot as Louis Vial was leaving the table bidding everyone good luck after an aces versus kings battle. In the very next hand, where the pot was 70,000, both Mengqi Chen in the small blind and Kim in the big blind waited patiently as the board was dealt.

The flop came J♦9♥A♣. After a check, Kim fired 50,000 in the pot. Chen called to see another card.

Chen checked the 7♣ turn. Kim kept the pressure with a 700,000 bet effectively putting Chen all-in. Chen went into the tank shuffling his chips, mulling over the situation. Finally, he put in the chips in for a call.

Mengqi Chen: A♥3♦ All in
Kenneth Kim: J♣8♣

Chen was ahead with top pair while Kim only had middle pair on the flop but the turn had given him additional outs with a flush draw. It didn't bode well for Chen when the 2♣ fell on the river completing Kim's flush. Kim scooped the pot once again as Chen left the table.

Simao went deep into the tank and eventually folded.

Franco Tucci raised to 40,000 and got called by Matthieu Rodriguez seated in the small blind.

The river brought the 3♠ and after another check, Tucci bet 210,000. Rodriguez tanked and ended up folding.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Kane Kalas and Franco Tucci got their big stacks in preflop, and it was Kalas who found himself on the wrong end of a massive cooler.

Kane Kalas: Q♠Q♦ All in
Franco Tucci: A♠A♦

The board didn't offer any help to Kalas, as it ran out K♣3♣K♥8♥3♥ sending him home just after returning from break.
