  • “DANNY442” (10th - $10,870)

Among the final nine to make the final table were five players from Brazil.

Nitsche made a deep run all the way to the final table but ultimately bowed out in Level 30 (30,000/60,000/7,500). He lost a flip with pocket queens against the Big Slick of “AllanSheik” after two kings appeared on the flop.

Nitsche earned $21,740 for finishing in eighth place.

Not long after, Brazil’s Kevin “Kelvin_kerbe” Kerber followed him out the door. It happened after he raised and then called off when “mylly8” shoved all-in.

Kerber had the K♦9♦ and was looking to get there against the A♦10♥ of “mylly8”. That didn’t happen, though. He was left drawing dead on the turn after the board ran out 5♦5♣A♥4♥10♠. Kerber took $32,610 for his seventh-place finish.

With four players remaining, the UK’s Tom “sheeeeeeeeet” Hall shoved the button with ace-nine suited, Unlucky for his as “AllanSheik” woke up with ace-king in the big blind.

The superior ace held. But Hall was left short before going bust a couple of hands later. He lost with pocket deuces in a flop against queen-jack.
