Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 4♦3♣8♦, Juha Helppi bet 15,000 in the cutoff before Manuel Fischer raised to 35,000 in the small blind. Helppi tanked for a minute before moving all in for around 100,000 more and Fischer snap-called.

Juha Helppi: A♥4♠
Manuel Fischer: 8♣4♣

Fischer had flopped two pair to take a big lead in the hand. The 9♠ turn was no help to Helppi, while the 6♠ river sealed his elimination as Fischer brought the field one closer to the bubble.

Kubanychbek Abakirov and Salih Atac clashed once again. On a flop of 6♦4♠5♦, Abakirov continued for 15,000 from the hijack, and Atac called from the button.

However, on the turn 10♠, Abakirov checked. Atac didn't hesitate to bet 20,000, and Abakirov called.

On the river A♣, Abakirov checked again and Atac fired 80,000. This time, Abakirov decided to check-fold.

He asked Atac if he could show one of his cards, but after a short negotiation, the cards went into the muck.

On the river 8♣, Derzhypilskyi led out for 60,000. Pardo seemed unhappy about this move, but eventually called anyway with A♣8♥ for two pair.
