Kevin Rabichow raised to 500,000, nearly half of his stack, prompting Yingui Li to respond with an all-in, which Rabichow eventually called after some consideration.

Kevin Rabichow: K?10?All in
Yingui Li: 10?10?

Rabichow hoped for assistance from the board, but his wish went unfulfilled as the cards revealed 4?7?J?6?5?, sending Rabichow to the rail courtesy of Li.

Dean Lyall raised to 180,000 in early position and was called by Philip Sternheimer in the big blind. The flop fell 4?9?4? and Sternheimer checked to Lyall, who made a bet of 120,000.

Sternheimer then jammed all in for 650,000 and a quick call followed from Lyall.

Dean Lyall: 10?10?

Lyall's superior pocket pair remained best on the 9? turn and Q? river, securing Sternheimer's elimination from the final two tables.

Li Loses Loads

Level 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Roberto Perez opened the action from the hijack with a raise to 160,000, and Yingui Li called from the big blind.

Both players checked the 7?4?4? flop.

On the 6? turn, Li bet 200,000, Perez raised to 600,000, and Li responded with a three-bet to 1,300,000. Perez called.

The 4? river suggested more action, but both players checked. Perez revealed a full house with 6?6?, while Li's 10?9? went into the muck.

Morten Klein Eliminated in 17th Place ($62,737)

Level 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Morten Klein
Morten Klein

Jared Bleznick had raised preflop from under the gun and Morten Klein defended his big blind. A flop of 8?8?3? was spread, and Klein led all in for his remaining 1,050,000 chips.

Bleznick asked for a count, thought for a bit, and flicked in a call to put his opponent at risk.

Morten Klein: 4?4? All in
Jared Bleznick: 7?7?

Bleznick had a big lead, and when no four arrived on the 6?A? runout, the last Norwegian player was eliminated from the tournament.

The remaining 16 players redrew for the final two tables of the High Roller.

Schulman Makes a Great Call

Level 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

With over 900,000 in the middle already, the flop read 8?A?2?.

Andrew Ostapchenko had checked in the hijack and Nick Schulman bet 180,000 from the cutoff to see it being called.

They both checked through the J? on the turn to the 10? on the river. Ostapchenko barreled a bet of 1,100,000 into the pot to send Schulman into the tank. He took his time, a sip of his drink, glanced at his hole cards, took another sip and used four time bank cards before making the call.

Ostapchenko revealed the 7?6? for the missed flush draw for Schulman to show he had the K?K? for the pot.

"Good call," Ostapchenko commented.

"Thank you," Schulman replied.

"Great call," Dan Smith added.

"Thanks gentlemen," Schulman replied.

Krasimir Yankov Eliminated in 18th Place ($62,737)

Level 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Krasimir Yankov
Krasimir Yankov

Roberto Perez started the action from the button with a raise to 160,000. After some deliberation, Krasimir Yankov moved all in from the small blind, and Perez called.

Krasimir Yankov: K?J?All in
Roberto Perez: A?J?

The J?7?7? flop gave Yankov a glimmer of hope, but the 10?8? turn and river sealed his fate, sending him to the rail.

Perez Gets Called and Paid

Level 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Roberto Perez raised to 160,000 from under the gun and Samuel Laskowitz defended his big blind.

The flop came 9?2?8?, Laskowitz check-called the 160,000 continuation-bet of Laskowitz.

They both checked through the 10? on the turn to the 3? on the river. Laskowitz checked for the final time and Perez fired a bet of 425,000 over the line. Laskowitz considered it for a bit and then made the call but mucked when Perez tabled the Q?10? for the queen-high flush.

Easy Double-Up For Sternheimer

Level 19 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Philip Sternheimer jammed his remaining 440,000 chips in from the cutoff and was called by Samuel Laskowitz on the button.

Philip Sternheimer: A?2? All in
Samuel Laskowitz: K?J?

Laskowitz already mucked his cards after the 7?2?2? flop, and the A? turn indeed locked up the pot for Sternheimer. The 6? river was irrelevant as Sternheimer doubled up to a seven-figure stack.
