Level 18
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Down to a mere dust and fewer than two big blinds, Walid Abdi Ali shoved from the button with the 
and Serge Danis one seat over had the 
. The board came 
and that was it for the German.
One table over, Walter Treccarichi raised to 14,000 and James Akenhead moved all in from the cutoff. Treccarichi asked for a count and eventually called when the jam of the Brit was deemed to be for 72,500.
James Akenhead: 
Walter Treccarichi: 
The 
flop was a disaster for the Brit, and he needed running spades to avoid elimination. While the 
on the turn was a start, the 
river failed to provide a miracle and Akenhead was eliminated in 57th place. Just prior to that, Vlado Sevo had bust and Zdenko Slavik followed to reduce the field to the last 55 hopefuls.
