Foxen and Lehner Eliminated Very Late on Day 4

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

Jordan Grant min-raised to 40,000 with the Q♣ showing and earned calls from Steven Spunt with the Q♥J♠ as well as Nicholas Rigby with the A♥4♥.

Johannes Lehner jammed for 205,000 in the big blind with the K♦K♣ and the initial raiser asked for a count.

The cameras suddenly switched tothe main feature table on which a short-stacked Alex Foxen was all-in via flip against Joshua Payne.

Alex Foxen: 10♦10♣
Joshua Payne: K♣J♦

The K♥9♦3♥2♠3♦ board sent Foxen to the payout desk just shy of bagging and tagging on Day 4.

There was a double-up on the third feature table and the action then switched back to the initial hand in which Rigby was the one to look up Lehner's shove.

The 10♦8♥6♥7♦7♥ board improved Rigby to a flush and Lehner was eliminated as well.

Grospellier Busted By Grovenstein

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

With Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier's seat empty, his former table recounted his bust house hand.

Grospellier was short-stacked for most of the remaining level and eventually moved all in for his remaining chips from the cutoff. Adam Grovenstein in the big blind called.

Bertrand Grospellier: A♦Q♦
Adam Grovenstein: 8x8x

The board ran out with no help for Grospellier. The pocket eights of Grovenstein held and "ElkY" was sent to the rail.

Seymour Scores Double Elimination

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

Brad Anderson moved all in from under the gun for 200,000, and it folded to Richard Seymour in the hijack who made the call. Andrew Wu moved all in for 345,000 total on the button, and the action was back on Seymour, who went deep in the tank.

After much consideration, Seymour reluctantly tossed in the extra 145,000, and the cards were on their backs.

Brad Anderson: 10♥9♥
Andrew Wu: A♦K♦
Richard Seymour: K♥Q♣

Wu was in the lead preflop, but the tables turned when the flop came 10♣5♥3♥ to give Anderson top pair and a flush draw. The Q♥ turn improved Anderson to a flush.

However, when the river fell the 6♥, it was the fourth heart that scored Seymour a bigger flush to send both Wu and Anderson to the payout desk.

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

It was allover on the 7♣ turn to make the 3♥ river a formality.

Aziz Eliminated by Rigby

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

Renan Aziz raised with the 5♠5♦ and Nicholas Rigby called from one seat over with the K♣4♣, Jordan Grant defended with just the A♥ showing. On a flop of 6♦3♠2♣, Grant check-folded when Aziz bet 45,000 and Rigby raised to 225,000.

Aziz gave it some thought before pushing all-in for 410,000 and Rigby instantly asked for a count. He then made the call with five imminent outs to put Aziz at risk.

The K♠ struck on the turn to improve Rigby and Aziz was eliminated on the blank A♣ river.

Westmorland Sends Zipati to the Rail

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

Jordan Westmorland raised to 40,000 and picked up calls from Eliran Zipati and Tim Van Loo in the blinds.

The flop gave 7♥8♠3♥ and it checked to Westmorland who continued for 50,000. Only Zipati stayed interested and called.

A J♠ showed up on the turn and Zipati checked again. Westmorland bet 175,000 and Zipati replied with a shove for a stack around 400,000. Westmorland snap-called:

Eliran Zipati: K♠Q♠
Jordan Westmorland: 7♠7♦

Zipati was in desperate shape for a double up, and Westmorland improved his hand into a full house on the J♣ river to send Zipati to the payout desk.

Sammartino Lands the Knockout Punch

Livello 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Dario Sammartino and Ryan Garcia got all of their chips in the middle preflop and it was Garcia at risk for a little over 200,000.

Ryan Garcia: A♠3♣
Dario Sammartino: 10♥10♦

Garcia was in search of an ace but it could not be found on the 8♠7♥6♥ flop. The 6♣ paired the board on the turn and the J♣ hit the river, sending Garcia for the "talk of shame" with Jeff Platt.

Luther Claims Another Victim

Livello 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Jordan Westmorland raised 30,000 in early position and Nikita Luther called from a couple of spots to his left before Thien Chung Wu three-bet to 150,000 in the cutoff. Westmorland mucked his hand but Luther stuck around.

The dealer fanned a flop of A♠J♠5♥, and Luther checked to Chung Wu. Wu announced all-in for 665,000 and Luther snap-called, dropping a stack of greens across the line.

Thien Chung Wu: A♣K♦
Nikita Luther: A♦J♥

Wu flopped top pair, top kicker but it was no good against Luther's top two pair. Wu couldn't find one of the last remaining kings as the board completed with the 7♠ on the turn and the 6♣ on the river.
