Punnat Punsri found himself under the gun, and pondered his options, before moving all in for 52,000. Action folded all the way around to big blind Bob Shao, who stuck in the call.
Punnat Punsri: 10♠8♠ 
Bob Shao: A♥2♥
Punsri managed to river a straight on the J♣4♥3♣Q♥9♥ runout, with tablemate Martin Kabrhel going over to celebrate with him, not realising that Shao had rivered the nut flush to pick up a bounty and send Punsri home.
Bob Shao raised to 50,000 from late position leaving himself just 14,000 behind. Action folded to Nicholas Verderamo in the big blind who moved all in for 84,000. Shao checked his cards and snap-called.
Bob Shao: Q♥J♥
Nicholas Verderamo: A♣10♠
The flop came 7♥A♥Q♣ and gave both players a pair but Shao also a flush draw. The 6♥ peeled off on the turn to make Shao's flush and leave Verderamo drawing dead. The 4♥ river sealed the deal and the pot was pushed to Shao for a double to leave Verderamo on fumes.
A four-way all in just occurred on Table 105 with Anatoly Nikitin having the chance to claim three bounties.
Todd Ivens: A♦K♣
Joe Kuether: A♥A♣
Sachin Joshi: Q♥Q♦
Anatoly Nikitin: 10♦10♠
A lot of premium hands were out, and @a needed to spike a ten to crack them all and boost his stack to close to a million.
Although Evans picked up a flush draw on the 2♦J♦3♦ flop, the 3♥ turn and 4♣ river changed nothing.
Once the chips were counted,Todd Ivens was eliminated, KuJoe Kuether ether nearly quadrupled up, and Sachin Joshi doubled through Nikitin.
Level: 16
Blinds: 4,000/8,000
Ante: 8,000
Zheyu Weng raised to 42,000 from middle position. Kenny Hallaert, seated to his immediate left in the cutoff, three-bet to 75,000.
When the action folded around to Adrien Delmas in the big blind, he moved all-in with 159,000.
Weng went into the tank for a bit, debating whether to risk his last 120,000 or so chips. He reluctantly folded.
Hallaert made the call, and as soon as he did, Weng flashed his hand Q♦Q♥, showing that he let go of a pair of queens.
Adrien Delmas: A♠K♥
Kenny Hallaert: K♣K♦
Weng's fold proved to be wise, as not only was he behind Hallaert, the runout of 10♠A♦4♥J♣5♥ gave Delmas a pair of aces.

Action was picked up on a flop of 6♣7♣2♥. There was 80,000 in the middle, and a dry sidepot between big blind Kenny Hallaert and early position player Roman Hrabec, as Jack Duong had moved all in preflop under the gun, and been called by both.
Hallaert check-called bets of 20,000 and 40,000 on the flop, as well as the 3♣ river. When the K♦ river hit, Hallaert moved all in. Hrabec folded with a wry smile, as Hallaert tables K♠2♣ for two pair. Duong's A♥8♥ was no good, and he left the tournament area.
Yaman Nakdali raised from middle position to 12,000 before Ihar Soika jammed the cutoff for 26,500. Nakdali called when the action got back to him.
Ihar Soika: K♥Q♣
Yaman Nakdali: A♦3♦
Nakdali was slightly ahead with ace-high, but that changed on the Q♥4♥10♣K♣6♣ runout as Soika improved to two pair to secure the double-up.
Kyle Julius opened to 10,000 from middle position only for Corentin Briglia to three-bet to 30,000 from the next seat. Action came back to Julius who four-bet all in and had Briglia covered. Briglia snap-called.
Corentin Briglia: A♦K♥
Kyle Julius: K♠K♣
Some help for Briglia on the Q♣J♠8♠ flop which gave him a straight draw. No more help came on the 8♦ turn nor the 6♦ river and Briglia was sent to the rail.
