Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Adrian Mateos
Adrian Mateos

Adrian Mateos got his stack in from the cutoff preflop against Peter Turmezey, who gave him action in the small blind.

Adrian Mateos: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Peter Turmezey: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}

The two were in a coin flip situation with Mateos at risk and in need of improvement to stay alive on his initial entry into the tournament. The flop was {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and the turn {8-Hearts} came behind it, leaving Mateos with one last opportunity to double. Lucky for him, the river {j-Hearts} was just what Mateos needed, earning him the double as a result. His stack was totaled to be 50,500 and Turmezey sent that amount his way.

Greenwood Puts Ebinger To the Test

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Matthias Eibinger had appeared to chip up to a bit after losing nearly three-quarters of his stack upon reentry and was now in blind-on-blind battle with Sam Greenwood. There was around 40,000 in the pot on a board of {3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, and Eibinger checked to Greenwood, who was thinking about his decision.

"Fifteen seconds," said the dealer, letting Greenwood know that he had used half of his time bank. Greenwood dropped a stack of T5,000 chips out that looked to be about 65,000, well beyond what Eibinger had in his stack. Eibinger thought about his decision for a couple of moments and then let his hand go, opting to wait for a better opportunity to commit the rest as Greenwood took down the pot with his river bet.

Ihar Soika
Ihar Soika

The board read {k-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} with Ihar Soika and Daniel Dvoress heads-up in a pot. Soika checked from middle position and Dvoress announced a bet of 28,000 from the cutoff. Soika called and the {q-Clubs} completed the board.

Soika checked again and Dvoress slid out a stack of around 50,000, enough to put Soika to the test for his remaining 35,000 chips. After using a time extension, Soika made the call and flipped over {k-Clubs}{q-Spades} for two pair. Dvoress held {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} for a better two pair and Soika was eliminated.
