Yuval Bronshtein Eliminated in 12th Place ($5,000)

Livello 13 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Yuzhou Yin opened to 80,000 and Yuval Bronshtein then three-bet to 180,000 with 15,000 behind in the very next seat. It folded back to Yin and he moved all-in, Bronshtein called.

Yuval Bronshtein: K♠Q♣
Yuzhou Yin: 9♦9♥

The 7♣6♠3♠ flop and 10♦ turn kept Bronshtein with some hope but he bricked the 7♠ river. Coming up short of the eight-handed official final table, he misses out on the $25,000 bonus by GGPoker for now.

Wai Lo Eliminated in 13th Place ($5,000)

Livello 12 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action was heads up with a big pot in the middle and 8♥Q♥6♣ on the board when Wai Lo bet 350,000 and Artur Martirosian called.

The turn was 7♥ and Lo went into the tank before Martirosian called the clock. Before the tournament director could arrive, Lo shoved what looked like 600,000 and it spilled all over. Martirosian called without hesitation and the cards were turned up.

Lo had A♥J♠ and the chance at a flush, while Martirosian was ahead with Q♠9♠. The river was 7♦ and Lo was eliminated in 13th place for $5,000.

Shelley Rubenstein Eliminated in 14th Place ($4,300)

Livello 12 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Shelley Rubenstein chopped in an all-in showdown with Juan Baraza when both players had ace-jack.

One hand later, Oktay Koeysu three-bet jammed for 245,000 and Adam Swan as the initial raiser called.

Oktay Koeysu: K♦J♥
Adam Swan: Q♥9♥

Koeysu was happy to be ahead and that mood didn't change on the A♠J♦9♦8♣4♥ runout.

He then open-shoved the next hand and Rubenstein called all-in from the big blind for around 290,000.

Shelley Rubenstein: Q♦Q♠
Oktay Koeysu: A♥9♥

"Give me hearts for my big heart," Koeysu requested and Rubenstein sighed visibly when the 9♠6♥2♥ flop gave her opponent a lot of equity. The A♠ turn improved Koeysu to aces up and he then even made the flush with the J♥ river. Rubenstein was eliminated in 14th place and takes home $4,300.

Biao Ding Eliminated in 15th Place ($4,300)

Livello 12 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Yuzhou Yin raised and Biao Ding got his last 100,000 in from the big blind for Yin to call.

Yuzhou Yin: 6♠6♥
Biao Ding: K♦K♥

The Q♠J♠8♣6♣4♦ runout gave Yin a set and Ding exited in 15th place for $4,300.

"I had nine six," Yuval Bronshtein mentioned in table chat, which made the hand a one-outer.

Aram Oganyan Eliminated in 16th Place ($4,300)

Livello 12 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Artur Martirosian opened to 50,000 from an early position and Aram Oganyan pushed all-in for more than 1.1 million from one seat over with almost the entire table behind. Once it folded back to Martirosian, he snap-called.

Aram Oganyan: A♣K♠
Artur Martirosian: K♣K♦

The Q♠8♠2♥7♣7♠ board awarded the biggest pot of the tournament so far to Martirosian, while Oganyan went from one of the bigger stacks to 16th place finisher for $4,300.

Livello 11 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The cards were already turned over on the A♠7♣4♦J♥ turn and Rene Majed was caught on a move with the K♠4♠ for bottom pair.

Artur Martirosian was way out in front with the A♣9♠ for top pair and the 8♥ river knocked out Majed in 18th place.

Artur Martirosian: A♠6♦

Aaron Kupin: A♦K♦
Sunghak Lee: K♠J♥

The board finished up 9♥8♣ and Lee turned a straight to eliminate Kupin in 20th place for $3,400.

Felipe Ramos Eliminated in 21st Place ($3,400)

Livello 10 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Felipe Ramos pushed a short stack when it was folded to him and Masashi Oya glanced at just one card in the big blind, then called when he found an ace.

Ramos tabled the K♦3♦ and Oya first exposed the A♥, then the second card ... which happened to be the A♦!

Oya was very excited while Ramos said "calm down ... just see what happens," albeit with a smile on the face.

Ramos was drawing slim on the 8♣7♦2♥ flop and the 2♣ turn ended his run, which was made official with the 5♥ river.
