Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Action folded around to Istvan Varga in the hijack who took a moment to count out his stack and consider his options.

"It looks like you're all in," Parker Talbot joked.

"I'm all in," Varga declared immediately after, pushing forward his stack of 755,000. Talbot called in the small blind to put Varga at risk.

Istvan Varga: A♦5♣
Parker Talbot: 8♣8♦

Both players caught a piece of the 8♠A♠3♥ flop, but Talbot's middle set left Varga drawing close to dead with top pair. The rest of the board ran out J♦A♣, giving Talbot a full house to best Varga's trip aces to take down a sizable pot.

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Fabian Bartuschk opened to 160,000 from middle position and Petros Karadimos three-bet to 500,000. Bartuschk asked Karadimos for a count of his current stack before moving all in for 2,205,000. Bartuschk considered his options for about 90 seconds before sticking in the call to put Bartuschk at risk.

Fabian Bartuschk: A♠A♦
Petros Karadimos: 10♠10♥

Bartuschk was well ahead with the best possible starting hand until the flop came 10♣9♠6♦ with a ten in the window, eliciting a sigh from Bartuschk who was suddenly drawing to two outs. Those outs never came on the Q♣2♣ turn and river and Bartuschk's run came to an end while Karadimos catapuled up the chip counts.

Marius Lussi: A♣8♣
Daniel Herrera: K♣10♣

Lussi was in great shape to secure the double up and remained so on the 6♠5♠4♣ flop and Q♦ turn. That all changed when the river brought the 10♥, giving Herrera a pair of tens to eliminate Lussi and take down the pot.
