Philipp Wood's stack just took a hit in back-to-back hands.

First, Wood raised from under the gun to 800,000 then folded to the shove of Danielle Noja from the big blind.

Then, Zhen Chen raised from the hijack and Wood defended from the big blind.

On the 4♦8♦5♥ flop, Wood check-folded to Chen's continuation-bet.

Ali Zebarjad limped in from the small blind and Zhen Chen checked his option in the big blind.

On the A♠Q♦7♦ flop, Zebarjad bet 400,000 and Chen called to see the A♥ turn, which went check-check.

The 5♥ turn was also checked through and Zebarjad showed K♠9♥ for king-high, but Chen's 9♣7♥ was good with a pair of sevens.

The action folded to Ali Zebarjad on the button, who shoved for just under 5,000,000. When Georgios Skarparis looked at his cards in the big blind, he immediately called.

Ali Zebarjad: A♣2♣ All in
Georgios Skarparis: A♥A♠

There were still two shorter stacks on the table, but Zebarjad's pursuit of glory was on the brink of being shot down.

It was all but over on the 4♦7♥4♠ flop as Zebarjad needed running cards to survive. The 10♠ turn ended things for Zebarjad, and the K♦ completed the board,

The action folded around to Danielle Noja in the small blind, who shoved all in. Konstantin Kvashin was in the big blind and called off his stack of around 2,500,000.

Konstantin Kvashin: A♥K♠ All in
Danielle Noja: J♥7♠

Kvashin managed to pair his ace on the flop and double up on the 9♦2♠A♦6♥8♣ runout, which kept his hopes alive.

Nivel 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Philipp Wood made it 2,000,000 from the button and left himself around 800,000 behind. Georgios Skarparis used some extra time in the big blind and eventually shoved, then Wood called off his remaining chips.

Philipp Wood: A♦6♣ All in
Georgios Skarparis: 9♠8♠

Wood was out in the lead and maintained it through the 5♦10♠4♥ flop. A board-pairing 10♣ on the turn brought Wood one step closer to a much-needed double, but he couldn't swerve the 9♣ river, which meant he was out in 5th.
