Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Karim Alleg shoved all in for 271,000 from early position and was called by Lorenc Boci in the hijack.

Karim Alleg: A♥Q♥ All in
Lorenc Boci: 10♠10♥

Alleg shot ahead in the flip when he paired on the 5♣Q♦9♦ flop, but the 10♣ turn saw Boci lock up the pot with a set. The 3♦ river was rendered meaningless, leading to an audible celebration by Boci.

Sava Krink

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Fabrizio Ortolomo opened the action with a raise to 40,000 from the hijack, and Rui Moreira called from the button.

Both players checked the 3♠9♥7♠ flop.

On the Q♦ turn, Ortolomo check-called Moreira's 50,000 bet.

The river brought the 2♠, and Ortolomo checked again, facing a 140,000 bet from Moreira. After some thought, Ortolomo called and was correct, as Moreira revealed A♣10♥ for ace-high, while Ortolomo took the pot with K♦Q♣.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Marc Martinez had shoved in 210,000 chips from middle position and was looked up by Aitor Marin in the seat next to him.

Marc Martinez: A♦4♦ All in
Aitor Marin: K♠K♣

No ace showed itself on the Q♠5♦9♠Q♥8♥ runout, and Martinez was consequently sent to the payout desk.
