The pot stood at approximately 30,000 with two players looking at a full board that read 4♠A♣5♦K♠Q♦.

Diogo Coelho, who was under the gun, bet out for 13,500. Tsz Him Chan, in the hijack, thought for some time before making the call.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Eduardo Lopes Pereira raised to 3,000 from middle position, Linus Hjulstroem called in the small blind and Juan Pardo three-bet to 12,000 from the big blind. Pereira moved all in, Hjulstroem got out of the way and Pardo called.

Eduardo Lopes Pereira: A♠Q♦
Juan Pardo: K♠K♦

The board ran out K♥3♠3♥10♣A♣. Pereira hit his ace on the river, but it changed nothing as Pardo's flopped full house had him dead on the turn.

Alexandru Danes raised to 3,000 from middle position, then Fabrice Maltez three-bet all-in for 20,500 from the blinds. Danes snap-called.

Fabrice Maltez: A♦K♣
Alexandru Danes: Q♠Q♣

Maltez stood up after the dealer fanned a flop of 3♠2♥6♥. The turn 2♦ and the river 2♣ even brought a full house for Danes, who sent Maltez to the rail.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Hand One:

Sam Grafton opened to 3,500 from under the gun, Ersin Sancak, to Grafton's direct left, three-bet to 9,500 and Grafton called.

Grafton checked at the sight of the J♥8♥5♣ flop. Sancak bet out 10,500 and Grafton check-raised to 23,000. Sancak moved all in for approximately 78,000 and Grafton called.

Ersin Sancak: Q♥Q♣
Sam Grafton: A♦J♦

The 3♥ and 7♥ runout ensured Sancak's double up, leaving Grafton with just 7,000.

Hand Two:

The very next hand, Robin Berggren opened to 3,500 from the hijack and Grafton defended off his short stack in the big blind, leaving himself just 2,000 behind.

Grafton checked and then called off his last 2,000 on the A♥10♠K♣ flop.

Sam Grafton: J♦5♣
Robin Berggren: K♦9♦

The A♠ and 9♣ runout didn't improve Grafton and he made his departure.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Luke Marsh raised to 4,500 from early position, receiving calls from both Atanas Malinov, in the small blind, and Dimitar Yosifov, in the big blind.

The action checked to Marsh, who continued for 5,000 on the 6♦Q♠4♦ flop. Both opponents called.

The A♠ turn saw Malinov and Yosifov check again. Marsh bet out 7,500 and both players folded.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

After Andras Nemeth opened to 4,000 from middle position, Scott Margereson called from the cutoff, as well as Wouter Beltz in the big blind.

On a flop of A♥J♦4♦, Beltz and Nemeth checked to Margereson, who bet 7,500. Beltz called, but Nemeth folded.

The two remaining players checked on the turn 2♥. And there was no more action on the river 9♠ , as they both checked again.

At the same time, they turn over their cards with Beltz having K♦10♣ for a missed straight draw. But Margereson had K♠Q♦ for king-high with the best kicker, so he scooped the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Andras Nemeth	120,000 9,500	9,500
Scott Margereson	78,000 2,000	2,000

Tammel Applies Maximum Pressure

Ollie Garland

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The pot stood at 13,000 with two players looking at a flop of 10♥J♣10♦.

Rui Querido Martins, in the big blind, checked the action to Tarmo Tammel, on the button. Tammel bet out 4,000 and Martins check-raised to 12,000. Tammel called.

The 9♥ turn saw Martins slow down with a check. Tammel placed a bet of 30,000; enough to put Martins' tournament life on the line. Martins used a timebank before making a very frustrated folded. Tammel tabled A♣8♥ as he raked in the pot.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jules Dickerson raised to 4,000 from middle position, and was only called by Niklas Astedt who defended from the big blind.

On a flop of 4♦K♣3♥, Dickerson continued with a bet of 2,000, but Astedt check-raised to 8,500. Dickerson eventually called to find the A♠ on the turn.

Astedt checked, so Dickerson bet 8,000. But once again, "Lena900" check-raised to 33,000. Once more, Dickerson made the call.

The 5♣ came on the river, and Astedt almost didn't have time to shove with 5♥2♥ that Dickerson snap-called with 2♦2♣. Both of they had the same straight, so they split the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Niklas Astedt	242,000 -26,000	-26,000
Jules Dickerson	145,000 35,000	35,000
