Pavlos Xanthopoulos
Pavlos Xanthopoulos

One hand after getting it in and splitting the pot with Gab Yong Kim (both players holding ace-queen), Pavlos Xanthopoulos was back in the action against the Korean.

Xanthopoulos shoved from the cutoff and got called by Kim in the small blind, with the Greek at risk.

Pavlos Xanthopoulos: A?7?
Gab Yong Kim: Q?9?

The flop came 5?9?6?, putting Kim in the lead.

A K? on the turn was no good for Xanthopoulos, who looked to be on the brink of elimination.

The 2? on the river confirmed the win for Kim and sent Xanthopoulos to the rail in fourth place. Meanwhile, Kim's hot streak in the tournament continues, as he collects another bounty chip.

Henri Kasper
Henri Kasper

Ioannis Oikonomidis opened from the button to 300,000. Henri Kasper then shoved over the top for his remaining 1,935,000 chips - around 13 big blinds. Oikonomidis deliberated momentarily before making the call.

Henri Kasper: A?J?
Ioannis Oikonomidis: 8?8?

It was a flip for Kasper's tournament life, and he was behind on the 3?5?7? flop.

A Q? turn provided no further help for the Estonian.

The 5? completed the board, to send Kasper to the rail. Meanwhile, Oikonomidis collected a valuable pot and won Kasper's bounty chip, giving him another chance to draw out the one remaining �25,000 bounty.
