Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Andre Akkari
Andre Akkari

Andre Akkari opened to 45,000 in the cutoff with {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}. Action folded around to Patrik Antonius in the big blind, who picked up {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. The Fin slid a massive stack of T-25,000 chips forward, effectively putting Akkari to a decision for all of his chips.

Akkari still had 35 big blinds left and decided to fold ace-queen after using up one timebank chip.

Kitai Chips Up Against Peters

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Just before the end of the level, a battle of the blinds between Davidi Kitai and David Peters resulted in a three-bet pot and the flop of {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. Both players checked and Kitai bet the {A-Clubs} turn for 50,000, Peters called.

On the {5-Clubs} river, Kitai checked and instantly called a bet of 230,000 by Peters, who showed the {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. Kitai had that beat with {K-Spades}{Q-Spades} and jumped back above one million.

Massive Double for Gyorgyi Results in Wild Celebration

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Krisztian Gyorgyi
Krisztian Gyorgyi

Over on one of the outer tables, Dan Abouaf raised to 32,000 and was called by Federico Petruzzelli from one seat over and Krisztian Gyorgyi in the big blind. On a flop of {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{K-Spades}, action checked to Abouaf and he continued for 26,000. Petruzzelli called beore Gyorgyi check-raised to 140,000. That forced a fold from Abouaf while Petruzzelli called.

On the {2-Hearts} turn, Gyorgyi bet 200,000 with 427,000 behind and Petruzzelli moved all in, the Hungarian called.

Krisztian Gyorgyi: {K-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Federico Petruzzelli: {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Gyorgyi was in need of help and required the board to pair or to hit a four. And he did so by spiking the {4-Hearts} on the river, to skyrocket out of his chair and run through half of the tournament room in wild celebration, screaming out his excitement in Hungarian. When he returned to the table and saw the cameras on him, he continued to shout in his native language while slowly someone in the room started clapping. Gyorgyi turned around and started clapping himself, and most of the room joined in.

Antonius Lays Down Top Pair

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Patrik Antonius
Patrik Antonius

Adrian Mateos raised to 35,000 from under the gun with {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}, Stefan Huber called {8-Spades}{8-Clubs} from the hijack and Patrik Antonius called {K-Spades}{J-Hearts} from the big blind.

The flop was {J-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Mateos continued for 65,000. Huber folded and Antonius called. On the {2-Hearts} turn, Mateos fired 180,000 and Antonius called a second street.

The {8-Diamonds} on the river gave Mateos the checkmark and Antonius checked. Mateos opted for a bet of 400,000 and Antonius went deep in the tank. The shot clock counted down the seconds and Antonius eventually folded after burning through all of his remaining timebank cards.

"I don't know how I folded that hand. How do I fold?" Antonius questioned his own decision after the hand. With the stream on a 30-minute delay, Antonius will know in half an hour the fold was correct.
