Groom Snaps It Off as Tsouloftas Takes Lead

Level 36 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Georgios Tsouloftas
Georgios Tsouloftas

Georgios Tsouloftas raised his A?J? to 1,000,000 chips in the cutoff and Stephen Groom defended his big blind with 9?5?. The pair then checked through the 5?8?10? flop before Groom led out for 1,500,000 on the 9? turn.

Tsouloftas called with his overcards and straight draw, and the river came the Q?. Groom reverted to checking, after which Tsouloftas made a bet of 2,300,000 with his rivered straight.

Groom immediately called with his two pair, which were sent into the muck as soon as Tsouloftas' hand was tabled.

Boyce Binks Set, Doubles Up

Level 36 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Oliver Boyce
Oliver Boyce

Mark Johnston raised to 1,100,000 in early position before Oliver Boyce jammed all in for 6,200,000 on the button. Vidmantas Beliauskas tanked for a while in the big blind before folding, and the action was back on Johnston.

Johnston also took his time to think it through but eventually tossed in a call to put Boyce at risk.

Oliver Boyce: K?K? All in
Mark Johnston: 8?8?

Boyce was in great shape to double up, and he did just so when he had Johnston drawing dead on the 3?5?Q?K? turn. The inconsequential J? river completed the board and Boyce stacked up his newly acquired chips, leaving Johnston with 18 big blinds.

Tsouloftas Ascends Further

Level 36 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Georgios Tsouloftas raised to 1,000,000 from early position with K?9? and the table folded to Tero Laurila in the big blind, who defended K?Q?.

The flop fell a monotone 6?2?A?, and Laurila checked to Tsouloftas. The latter made a bet the minimum bet of 500,000, which quickly got the better hand to fold.

Adrian Thorne Eliminated in 8th Place (�49,960)

Level 36 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Georgios Tsouloftas - Adrian Thorne
Georgios Tsouloftas - Adrian Thorne

Georgios Tsouloftas raised to 1,000,000 from the cutoff and Adrian Thorne tanked for a while on the button before shoving all in for 9,050,000 chips. The action folded back to Tsouloftas, who immediately slammed in a call to put Thorne at risk.

Adrian Thorne: A?5? All in
Georgios Tsouloftas: A?K?

Thorne was heavily dominated and needed a five to survive. He hit one on the 5?K?10? flop, but Tsouloftas paired his king to stay in the lead. The 2? turn and 3? river did not help Thorne, and he said his goodbyes in eighth place.

Ninh Limps Again, Causes Mayhem

Level 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Hiep Ninh
Hiep Ninh

Hiep Ninh limped in from early position with A?Q? and Stephen Groom raised to 1,400,000 from the hijack with A?4?. Georgios Tsouloftas then three-bet to 3,800,000 in the big blind with A?10?, and the action was back on Ninh.

The chip leader back-raise four-bet to 8,000,000 chips, which quickly let Groom muck his hand. Tsouloftos eventually followed suit, and Ninh was kind enough to table his cards for all players to see.

Level 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Hiep Ninh limped in from the cutoff with 3?2? and it folded to Tero Laurila in the big blind, who looked down at 7?7? in the big blind and shoved all in for 6,475,000

Ninh quickly folded his low cards and Laurila got some bonus chips from the chipleader.

David Tous Eliminated in 9th Place (�38,420)

Level 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
David Tous
David Tous

Hiep Ninh opened for 900,000 chips from under the gun and the action folded to short-stacked David Tous in the big blind, who went all in for 3,825,000. Ninh made the call and Tous' tournament life was at risk.

David Tous: A?10? All in
Hiep Ninh: K?J?

Tous was ahead and remained so when he paired his ten on the 5?10?4? flop. The 9? turn gave Ninh some extra outs with a gutshot, and the Q? river brought in said gutshot.

Tous, who qualified online, was the first to leave the final table after starting it third in chips, while Ninh regained some of his lost chips.
