Yita Choong opened to 320,000 from under the gun before Klas Krueger moved all in for 1,885,000 from early position. Action folded back around to Choong who quickly called with the covering stack to put his opponent at risk.

Klas Krueger: A♥J♣
Yita Choong: 10♦10♣

Krueger would need to win a flip to survive but found no immediate help on the 9♠6♥7♥ flop. He spiked the J♠ turn, however, to put himself in the driver's seat with the 5♣ river confirming the double for the German player.

Mirsaidi Felled in Blind-on-Blind Encounter

Livello 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Action folded around to Enjamin Mirsaidi in the small blind and he moved his short stack into the middle. Marc Desantis quickly called in the big blind to put Mirsaidi at risk.

Enjamin Mirsaidi: Q♦9♦
Marc Desantis: A♠K♣

Mirsaidi was behind but did have two live cards to work with. The 9♣J♦3♦ flop immediately vaulted Mirsaidi into the lead, one that he maintained on the 10♥ turn. The Q♣ river, however, improved Desantis to Broadway, bringing Mirsaidi's tournament to a close.
