Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

PokerNews jumped into the action with about 6,000 in the pot and the board showing 5♦Q♠3♥K♣9♦.

Darius Neagoe was in the big blind position, while Nemanja Lukovic sat on the button. Lukovic had already put in a bet of 3,000, and now it was Neagoe's turn to act. He went all in, putting the pressure on Lukovic, who had roughly 3,500 behind. After a moment of deliberation, Lukovic stood up, knowing this could be his last hand, and made the call.

He revealed K♥10♠ for a pair of kings. But Neagoe had K♦5♠, giving him two pair, kings and fives. With that, Neagoe scooped the pot, eliminating Lukovic from the tournament.

Haiyang Yang: 7♠7♦

Yang's sevens held up on the 8♦4♣6♥Q♦3♠ runout and Nashar was eliminated.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Andrei Kaigorodtsev opened the action with a raise to 400 from early position, with Ivan Bryksin calling from middle position. Bogdan Ionescu, on the button, decided to three-bet to 1,800, prompting a four-bet from Samuel Mullur in the big blind to 5,300. Only Ionescu made the call.

On the J♠3♦7♠ flop, Mullur continued his aggression with a 7,200 bet, and Ionescu called.

The action slowed on the 3♠ turn when Mullur checked. Ionescu bet 6,000, and after some thought, Mullur called.

On the 5♠ river, Mullur checked once again. Ionescu grabbed a stack of chips and pushed them into the middle, effectively putting Mullur all-in. Mullur took a moment, then made the call, risking his tournament life. Mullur revealed A♠K♠ for the nut flush, but Ionescu showed J♥J♦ for a full house, sending Mullur packing to the registration desk for another shot.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

With 6,300 in the pot and the flop reading Q♣5♠7♠, three players remained in the hand. Halil Tasyurek led out with a 2,000 bet as the first to act, prompting Philipp Wenzelburger to raise it to 7,000. Bernat Capdevila Montes stepped aside, but after some thought, Tasyurek moved all in. Wenzelburger took a quick second to double-check his cards, said "call," and the cards were revealed.

Wenzelburger had K♠10♠ for a flush draw, while Tasyurek held A♥Q♥ for top pair. With his tournament life on the line, Wenzelburger needed help from the board, but the 6♥ turn and 6♣ river sealed his fate, sending him to the rail.

Halil Tasyurek	46,000 46,000	46,000
