Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Fabiano Kovalski
Fabiano Kovalski

With 1,000,000 in the pot already on a turn board of K?9?2?8?, Rania Nasreddine checked 10?9? to Fabiano Kovalski who bet 700,000 from under-the-gun with K?Q?.

Nasreddine called with her second pair, and on the 8? river, she checked again and faced a bet of 1,350,000.

The start of day chip leader thought briefly, but then incorrectly called with her nines and eights, falling to Kovalski's kings and eights.

Lin Puts on His Cape and Holds Firm Against Coleman

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Jianwei Lin
Jianwei Lin

Jianwei Lin opened to 250,000 from the cutoff, and David Coleman called from the button.

Lin check-called bets of 260,000 and 440,000 on the flop and turn for the final board to read 9?6?3?5?7?.

Any eight or four made a straight, and Lin checked for a third time. Coleman used up a time bank before firing a third barrel of 1,450,000.

Lin immediately threw in his stack of time bank cards, with several being used until he flicked in a T-5,000 to call the large river bet.

Coleman tabled K?J? for king-high, while Lin showed down J?9? and took in the pot with just a pair of nines.

Daniel Myers Eliminated in 13th Place (�89,550)

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Daniel Myers
Daniel Myers

After taking his 20,000 to 90,000, Daniel Myers put in his one big blind stack from early position. Harry Lodge called from the small blind and Marius-Catalin Pertea checked his option in the big blind.

Myers appeared very relaxed after the J?8?3? flop, chatting to Mitch Hynam and Carl Shaw on the rail. The blinds checked, and did the same on the 7? turn and 2? river.

"The toppest of pairs," said Myers, as he tabled Q?J?. Lodge sent his K?5? into the muck and Pertea did the same with his Q?9?.

The following hand, Myers wagered his stack of 370,000. The action folded to Andrew Hulme in the big blind, and he called to put the Liverpudlian at risk.

Daniel Myers: A?8?All in
Andrew Hulme: Q?J?

Myers was looking to pull off "the greatest comeback in PokerStars history," and it appeared he would be on his way to do that after the K?5?2? flop and 6? turn. However, the Q? completed the board and gave Hulme a pair of queens to seal the checkmark and elimination.

Myers Takes a Massive Hit

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Daniel Myers
Daniel Myers

Hand One:

Alexandre Fournier raised to 200,000 from under the gun, Harry Lodge three-bet to 500,000 from the hijack and Daniel Myers cold four-bet jammed for 2,620,000, from the small blind. Fournier called off the bet for his last 2,600,000 and Lodge folded.

Alexandre Fournier: K?K? All in
Daniel Myers: A?Q?

The 6?K?10? flop gave Fournier top set, but Myers gained a straight draw. The 9? turn and 7? river were clean for Fournier and he found a huge double up, leaving Myers with just 20,000.

Hand Two:

Two hands later, Myers moved all in for 20,000 from the cutoff. Jianwei Lin raised to 225,000 on the button and Lodge called in the big blind.

The J?10?6? flop checked through to the K? on the turn. Lodge checked and then folded to a bet of 300,000 from Lin.

Daniel Myers: A?3? All in
Jianwei Lin: A?2?

The river landed the 9?; despite this being a chopped pot, Myers more than tripled up.

Jose Barbosa Eliminated in 14th Place (�74,600)

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Jose Barbosa
Jose Barbosa

Jose Barbosa moved all in for 635,000 from under the gun. Andrew Hulme then min-clicked it from the small blind, which folded out Daniel Myers in the big blind.

Jose Barbosa: Q?10?All in
Andrew Hulme: A?8?

Barbosa had live cards, but the A?7?7? flop was all Hulme, who made two pair. Barbosa needed to go runner-runner and found the Q? on the turn to keep his hopes alive. The J? river provided no help to the at-risk player, and Hulme sent Barbosa out in 14th place.

Stephen Song - Boris Kuzmanovic
Stephen Song - Boris Kuzmanovic

Stephen Song raised to 300,000 in the small blind with A?K? and was three-bet by Boris Kuzmanovic with A?K? to 880,000 from the big blind.

The turn Q? was clean as was the 8? river, as Kuzmanovic avoided disaster for the chopped pot.
