Level 21
: 5,000/10,000, 1,250 ante
Simon "Isildur1337x" Mattson has been severely shortstacked since before the hand-for-hand play, and finally found some hands to make something happen for himself.
At first he got it in with 
against the 
of Otkazal, and with the board running out 
he scooped the pot to get back up to ten big blinds.
It didn't last long, though. A few hands later he shoved 
but ran into an opponent's 
. The board came five blanks - 
, and Mattson exited in 82nd.

Dutch player "StuntSoHard" made it 17,500 to go from early position, and both "alexxv14" from Romania and Christopher "NigDawG" Brammer made the call.
The flop 
prompted checks from both Brammer and "StuntSoHard", but "alexxv14" bet 19,999 to open the action again. Brammer moved in for his 108,521 and the Dutchman quickly folded.

Brammer needed to improve, but with the board being completed by two Queens, there was nothing left for Brammer to do in this tournament, and he exited in 114th.
Shortly after followed both Dominik "888Dominik" Nitsche and Bruno "brunof0ster" Foster, leaving Natalie "888natalieH" Hof as the only 888Poker Ambassador still in contention for the Main Event trophy.

It didn't even take one hand before the bubble burst in this $1,050 Super XL Main Event. Two players busted on the bubble, "fumagudang01" from Brazil and "BoobJob32DD" from the United Kingdom, but with the latter holding the smaller stack, the Brazilian just made it into the money.
In the deciding hand "BoobJob32DD" shoved all-in preflop holding 
over a raise from "Jaolito85". The Brazilian made the call with 
to put the Brit at risk, and an in the door all but sealed the deal for "Jaolito85". Neither the turn or the river offered any assistance to "BoobJob32DD", who exited in 145th.
