In a five-way limped pot to the 9♦8♠3♦ flop, it was checked to Tina Bajric under the gun, who bet the pot of 300,000. Burak Simsek called in middle position, as did Dima on the button.

Tina Bajric: K♦J♦7♠6♥ All in
Dima: Q♥J♠10♣2♠ All in
Burak Simsek: 9♥8♦7♣6♣

The 2♦ rivered Bajric a flush for the triple-up, while "Dima" won the side pot with a straight to the queen.

Level 17 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Tom-Aksel Bedell had already gone all-in at an earlier stage of the hand when Pavel Izotov checked to "Hans Olymp" on a turn of 4♠3♣4♦J♥. "Hans Olymp" then added 700,000 to the small side pot, forcing a fold from Izotov.

Tom-Aksel Bedell: K♠K♣10♠5♣ All in
"Hans Olymp": 10♥7♣6♠5♥

Bedell was still ahead with his kings, but "Hans Olymp" hit his wrap on the 2♦ river to make a straight.

Bedell started as the chipleader when the day began, but he ended up as the bubble boy, leaving the remaining 27 players in the money.

Level 17 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Daniel Zaremba raised to 175,000 in the hijack. Hristo Bogdanov then three-bet to 575,000 in the small blind, which Zaremba called.

Bogdanov committed the rest of his stack, 185,000 chips, on the J♦K♦8♣ flop and was snap-called by Zaremba.

Hristo Bogdanov: A♠A♦8♥5♠ All in
Daniel Zaremba: A♥K♠8♠2♥

Bogdanov's aces were behind the two pair of Zaremba. He rooted for a jack and received one on the J♠ turn to make the better two pair. The 10♣ river remained clean and Bogdanov doubled up.

After the hand, "Jay" announced that he had folded two jacks, making Bogdanov's turn a pure two-outer.

Player	Chips	Progress
Hristo Bogdanov	1,620,000 895,000	895,000

Level 16 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Daniel Zaremba checked from the big blind on a flop of 4♠8♣2♠. Button Francisco Perez then bet 75,000 into the pot of 275,000. Zaremba shoved all in for 765,000 and Perez called to put him at risk.

Daniel Zaremba: Q♠Q♣7♦2♣ All in
Francisco Perez: K♦K♣8♠7♥

Perez made trips on the 8♥ turn, leaving Zaremba with just two outs. Zaremba stood up and put on his jacket, ready to leave.

However, the Q♦ river sat him back down as he made a full house to take the pot and double up on the bubble.
