Alfred Decarolis Eliminated in 10th Place ($411,490)

Livello 18 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

The action folded around to Chris Brewer in the small blind who shoved all in as the big stack. Alfred Decarolis was in the big blind with a stack of around 1,800,000 and called it off.

Alfred Decarolis: Q♠5♠
Chris Brewer: A♦9♣

The flop came J♠9♠9♥ and Brewer flopped three nines to take a stranglehold on the hand. Decarolis had a flush draw but the J♦ on the turn negated any hope of that. The river was the 8♣ and Decarolis was eliminated in 10th place.

Livello 18 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel raised to 500,000 in the cutoff and Artur Martirosian called on the button. They went heads-up to a flop of 8♦7♣2♠ and Kabrhel checked. Martirosian bet 400,000 and Kabrhel instantly called.

The turn was the 8♠ and Kabrhel checked again. Martirosian slid out a bet of 800,000 and Kabrhel snap-called again.

The river brought the A♣ and Kabrhel checked once more. Martirosian announced a bet of 5,000,000 this time and Kabrhel finally got rid of his cards.

Dan Smith raised in late position and Ben Heath three-bet all in for his remaining chips — roughly 1,500,000 — with Smith making the call shortly after.

Ben Heath: A♠10♠
Dan Smith: Q♣J♠

Heath was ahead but Smith would spike a queen on the 7♦6♣Q♠ flop to jump out front and would stay there on the 2♠ turn and the 7♥ river to eliminate the Brit in 11th place.

Ivey Eliminated on the Money Bubble

Livello 17 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

The action folded to Phil Ivey on the button who shipped all in for around 4,200,000. Martin Kabrhel asked for a count in the big blind but then quickly called to put Ivey at risk. Once the action was finished at the other table, the cards were turned face up.

Phil Ivey: A♥3♥
Martin Kabrhel: Q♠Q♣

The flop came J♥7♠7♦ and Kabrhel was still well out front with his pair of queens. The 6♠ on the turn and the 3♠ on the river was not enough for Ivey to survive as he was eliminated on the money bubble.
