Moshe Refaelowitz Eliminated in 8th Place ($228,347)

Livello 25 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Alex Kulev opened to 600,000 in middle position before Moshe Refaelowitz three-bet to 2,000,000 in the small blind. Kulev four-bet all-in and Refaelowitz called off his stack of 3,600,000.

Moshe Refaelowitz: A♦Q♣
Alex Kulev: 10♦10♠

The K♣J♣8♥ flop gave Refaelowitz a gutshot straight draw, now needing one of Kulev's tens or to make a pair, but the 7♥ turn and K♦ river were no help as he exited the table to collect his eight place payout.

Livello 24 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Johannes Straver opened 500,000 in the hijack and Justin Kindred ripped all-in for about 3,300,000 on the button. The blinds got out of the way, and Straver made the call.

Justin Kindred: K♣K♠
Johannes Straver: A♣K♥

The flop of Q♠8♦4♦, was looking promising for Kindred but the A♠ fell on the turn. Kindred wasn't able to find the last king in the deck as the 4♠ rolled off on the river, eliminating him in 9th place.

Damian Salas Eliminated in 12th Place ($101,149)

Livello 23 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Jake Schindler raised 400,000 under the gun and Damian Salas jammed for 925,000 next to act. The action folded around to Daniel Smiljkovic in the big blind and he announced all-in for about 6,000,000. Schindler wasted little time before mucking A♦K♥ face up and both hands were on their backs.

Damian Salas: K♠9♠
Daniel Smiljkovic: Q♠Q♥

Unfortunately for Salas, he saw one of his kings already in the muck but the 9♦5♦2♥ flop gave him some extra outs. The 2♣ turn and 10♠ river were no help though as he hit the rail in 12th place.

Gergely Kulcsár: 9♠9♦

Nacho Barbero opened to 325,000 on the button and Jake Schindler defended the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 10♥8♣6♠, and Schindler check-raised Barbero's bet of 250,000 all-in. Barbero had about 1,800,000 and called.

Nacho Barbero: 9♦9♥
Jake Schindler: K♦10♣

Schindler out-flopped Barbero with top pair and Barbero couldn't find one of the remaining nines in the deck as the board completed with the 6♦ turn and the 4♥ river.

Gergely Kulcsár: J♥10♥

Vogelsang was in great shape to nearly triple his stack until the Q♥8♥7♥ flop hit the board, giving Kulcsár a flush. Vogelsang wasn't drawing dead but couldn't find another heart as the board completed with the 9♠ turn and 4♠ river, sending him to the payout desk in 18th place.
