Dan O'Hair

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Albert Daher opened to 40,000 from the hijack and was three-bet to 115,000 by Masashi Oya in the cutoff. It was folded back around to Daher, who called.

Daher check-called a 78,000 bet from Oya on the 5♦6♣5♠ flop and then both players checked on the 5♣ turn.

The J♣ filled the river and Daher checked once more, prompting a 225,000 bet from Oya.

Daher mulled over his decision for quite some time, but he eventually convinced himself to slam in a call.

Oya turned over K♠Q♦ and Daher triumphantly turned over A♠3♠ to claim the pot with his ace.

Juan Pardo opened to 46,000 from the hijack and Recep Aydemir shoved for 160,000 from the big blind. Pardo called and the cards were revealed.

Recep Aydemir: A♠10♦ All in
Juan Pardo: K♠Q♣

Aydemir stayed ahead with ace-high on the 2♠2♣9♦ flop. The 3♦ on the turn meant only a king or queen on the river would send him to the rail. The river was the 10♣ and Aydemir stayed alive in the tournament.

Recep Aydemir	340,000

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Masashi Oya opened to 40,000 on the button and found one caller in Teun Mulder in the big blind.

Mulder checked to Oya, who continued for 45,000 on the J♥4♠7♠ flop. Mulder then check-raised to 115,000 and Oya called.

Oya called a 100,000 bet from Mulder on the 2♦ turn and Mulder shoved on the Q♦ river, which was enough to put Oya all in for his last 161,000.

Oya burned up a couple time extensions as he pondered his decision, but eventually committed his stack into the middle and Mulder showed K♠3♦ for a stone bluff.

Oya revealed 8♦8♠ and was awarded the double up.

At another table, Atanas Malinov was eliminated.

When it folded to Jelle Moene in the small blind, he shoved to put Markkos Ladev all-in out of the big blind. Ladev had around 120,000 remaining, and after using a time-bank card made the call.

Markkos Ladev: J♦2♠ All in
Jelle Moene: K♣8♠

Ladev needed some help with jack-deuce to stay in the tournament. When the board ran out 10♥Q♦6♣K♥9♣, Ladev rivered a king-high straight to double-up through Moene.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jelle Moene	620,000 -150,000	-150,000
