Level 8 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

With around 50,000 in the pot on a flop of Q♦4♠2♠, Milos Skrbic bet 15,000 from the cutoff and Aleksejs Ponakovs called under the gun.

Skrbic bet another 40,000 on the 7♣ turn and Ponakovs again called. The river was the 8♦ and Skrbic moved all in for 141,000.

Ponakovs used up all of his remaining time banks as he tanked for several minutes, eventually putting in the chips to call. Skrbic immediately tapped the felt and turned over A♠K♠ for just ace-high, while Ponakovs had K♣Q♥ for a pair of queens to win the pot and send Skrbic to the rail.

Dimitar Danchev was also recently eliminated by Team PokerStars Pro Elias Gutierrez.

Level 8 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Vladimir Korzinin got his 146,000 into the middle preflop with Johannes Straver being the player to try and bust him.

Vladimir Korzinin: K♥5♥ All in
Johannes Straver: A♠K♦

Straver was in great shape to send Korzinin to the rail as he just had to avoid a five or some hearts. However, the 7♠5♣4♥ flop propelled Korzinin into the lead with a pair of fives. There was no help for Straver on the 8♠ turn or 10♠ river and he had to send roughy half of stack over to Korzinin.

Player	Chips	Progress
Vladimir Korzinin	300,000 220,000	220,000
Johannes Straver	135,000 -135,000	-135,000
