Yang Zhang Eliminated in 11th Place ($40,393)

Livello 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Yang Zhang went all in and was isolated by a raise from Alex Keating. Keating joked that it was a friendly isolation raise.

Yang Zhang: K♣J♣
Alex Keating: Q♦7♦

It was true that Zhang's hand was best preflop but after the wheel spun 7♠6♦2♦, Keating surged into the lead with top pair and the flush draw. There was no sweat for Zhang as the Q♠ made it so he was drawing dead and the river didn't matter.

Livello 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Felipe Ketzer moved all in from the button for his last 1,225,000 and Christian Harder made the call in the big blind to put Ketzer at risk.

Felipe Ketzer: J♠10♥
Christian Harder: A♠5♣

Harder flopped top pair on the A♥Q♦7♣ flop but Ketzer still had some outs in the form of a gutshot straight draw. Those outs never materialized on the 3♦ turn or 6♥ river and Ketzer was sent to the rail while Harder collected the last of his chips.

Fazel Dawood Eliminated in 16th Place ($26,210)

Livello 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Fazel Dawood was all in preflop with a covering stack versus Christian Harder

Christian Harder: A♠J♣
Fazel Dawood: A♣8♣

The board ran out 9♥10♦10♥5♠Q♠. Harder held with the superior ace and Dawood was left short-stacked.

Not long afterwards, Dawood moved all in from the cutoff from his last 180,000 chips, receiving calls from Josh Reichard in the small blind and Guoliang Wei in the big blind.

The flop came A♦4♦2♦ and both Reichard and Wei checked, leading to the Q♥ turn. Reichard checked, Wei bet 400,000 and Reichard folded, leaving Dawood at risk versus Wei going into the river.

Fazel Dawood: Q♦9♠
Guoliang Wei: A♠4♣

Wei was ahead with two pair, aces and fours, but Dawood did have a diamond flush draw. The 8♠ river was a blank, ending Dawood's deep run while Wei took down another big pot.

Johnathan Stanton Eliminated in 17th Place ($26,210)

Livello 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Johnathan Stanton went all in from under the gun and it appeared it might get through until Nozomu Shimizu made the call in the big blind.

Nozomu Shimizu: 7♣7♥
Johnathan Stanton: K♠Q♥

The flop was a tease for Stanton as the window was a Q♦, shortly followed by the 7♠2♠, giving Shimizu a set. The turn did give Stanton some hope with the 10♠, as he had a flush draw but the 5♦ bricked the river, awarding the chips to Shimizu.
