Peretz Out in 34th Place

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Yaniv "Zluka2010" Peretz has just been eliminated in 34th place. "Obwan77" opened for 33,750 from early position before Peretz jammed for 122,406 from the big blind.

Peretz with {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} was in for a world of hurt with his opponent holding {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}. The {7-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{q-Spades}{3-Spades} board wasn't what he was looking for and he was eliminated in 34th place. Eliminated shortly after was "xane7a" on another table in 33rd place.

"BlacKK_DucKK" Outkickered

Level 22 : 7,000/14,000, 1,750 ante

"DonkMaster99" opened the button for a min-raise and "BlacKK_DucKK" defended the big blind.

Both players checked after the {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}{10-Hearts} came on the flop. "BlacKK_DucKK" checked again after the {7-Clubs} came on the turn. "DonkMaster99" bet 28,000 and called a shove from "BlacKK_DucKK" for 175,380.

"BlacKK_DucKK" turned over {10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and needed help for a chop against the {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} held by "DonkMaster99". The {j-Hearts} on the river didn't help "BlacKK_DucKK" and this player was eliminated in 38th place.

Around the same time, "Hala88" hit the rail in 36th place and the tournament is just eight spots from the money.

Astedt Takes Out "Pokerdave128"

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

"PokerDave128" jammed the button for 205,937 and got a call from one of the most feared online poker players in the world for many years in Sweden's Niklas "tutten7" Astedt in the big blind.

Astedt had the advantage with {k-Spades}{q-Spades} against his opponent's {k-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and never looked back as the {k-Clubs}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} board was unable to save his opponent.

"Xane7a" Doubles Up

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,250 ante

"KellerA" open-jammed the small blind for 18 big blinds and got called by "xane7a" from the big blind for 17 big blinds.

"KellerA" was ahead with {a-Clubs}{4-Spades} against {q-Spades}{8-Spades} when the money got in but the lead didn't last for long as "xane7a" ended the hand with trips as the {6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{q-Spades} came out on the board.

The next hand, "KellerA" dusted off his or her remaining one big blind to exit the tournament short of the money.
