Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Rui Milhomens
Rui Milhomens

Rui Milhomens raised to 60,000 and Benjamin Lebor called out of the small blind. On a flop of {k-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, Lebor bet 80,000 for Milhomens to call and the same action repeated on the {a-Clubs} turn for 105,000.

The board paired with the {2-Diamonds} river and Lebor bet 120,000. Milhomens verified the bet size to then announce a raise to 500,000 and Lebor moved all-in within one second to get snap-called by Milhomens for the last 725,000.

Lebor tabled the {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Milhomens doubled with the {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} for a full house.

Arie Kliper raised to 60,000 in the hijack and was called by Luigi D'Alterio in the cutoff and Maksim Shornikau on the button. The flop fell {q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and the action checked to D'Alterio who bet 90,000.

Shorniaku called and Kliper check-raised to 330,000. D'Alterio shoved all in which got Shornikau to fold. Kliper went into the tank, using three of his time banks, but eventually folded, leaving himself with just 300,000 chips.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Simon Mattsson
Simon Mattsson

Ionut-Flavius Voinea {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} opened to 60,000 under the gun. Simon Mattsson {7-Clubs}{7-Spades} moved all in for 280,000 from the cutoff. Back on Voinea, he made the call to put Mattsson at risk.

The board ran out {k-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop, safe for Voinea. The turn was a dagger {6-Spades}, though, leaving Voinea pulling to two outs once. The river {5-Diamonds} wasn't the miracle he needed, and he was eliminated.

Ionut-Flavius Voinea
Ionut-Flavius Voinea

Ionut-Flavius Voinea {a-Spades}{4-Spades} opened to 60,000 from under the gun. Only Javier Gomez Zapatero {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs} made the call in the big blind.

The flop came down {10-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Spades}, giving Voinea the nuts. He continued for 50,000. Zapatero, drawing at a no-good straight, made the call.

Zapatero didn't know the {8-Clubs} turn was a bad card, making the straight. He checked, and Voinea fired 225,000. Zapatero made the call again.

On the {k-Hearts} river, Zapatero checked once more. Holding the nuts, Voinea emptied the clip with a bet of 800,000. Zapatero couldn't get away from the straight, and he made the call of the slight overbet.

Saout Finally Wins One; D'Alterio Wins and Loses a Pot

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Maksim Shornikau raised to 60,000 and called a three-bet to 160,000 by Antoine Saout, then check-folded the {k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop when Saout bet 100,000.

"You finally won one," Parker Talbot joked.

Luigi D'Alterio then raised to 60,000 and Paulius Vaitiekunas called out of the blinds. The {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop was checked by the Lithuanian, who then called a bet worth 70,000 by D'Alterio. Both players checked the {8-Clubs} turn and Vaitiekunas also checked the {10-Spades} turn. D'Alterio made it 275,000 to go and won the pot.

Up next, Simon Lofberg raised big out of the small blind and D'Alterio came along. The {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop brought a bet worth 80,000 by Lofberg and a call by D'Alterio. Both headed to the {2-Clubs} turn on which Lofberg bet 350,000 and D'Alterio quickly folded.

Covaciu Doubles Through Cessy

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Paul-Adrian Covaciu raised to 60,000 on the button and Laurent Cessy shoved all in from the big blind. Covaciu instantly called off his stack of 595,000 and the cards were face up.

Paul-Adrian Covaciu: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Laurent Cessy: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

It was a coin flip and the flop of {9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Spades} left Covaciu in the lead with his pocket queens. The {j-Diamonds} on the turn and the {10-Clubs} on the river were no help to Cessy who passed over a double-up.
