David Salituro

Level 27 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Dorel Eldabach raised to 320,000 under the gun as action folded around to big blind Eran Carmi, who three-bet to 1,020,000. Eldabach then moved all in and Carmi called for his last 2,450,000

Eran Carmi: A♦A♣6♠3♠
Dorel Eldabach: A♠A♥5♦3♥

Both players showed aces and were headed for a chop until Carmi's hopes were immediately dashed on the 7♥Q♥10♥ flop, giving Eldabach the nut flush.

Carmi shrugged in resignation and stood up from his seat as the board ran out J♥5♣, sending him to the rail in seventh place.

Level 27 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Dorel Eldabach raised to 265,000 in the hijack with J♣9♥9♣6♥ and Joao Estanislau called from the small blind holding A♣J♥5♥3♣.

Eldabach hit a set on the 4♣9♦A♥ flop and continued for 235,000. Estanislau called to the 2♠ turn, where he improved to a straight.

He checked and Eldabach fired out another 475,000. Estanislau called as the 2♥ fell on the river.

Eldabach paused for a moment before betting 1,075,000. Estanislau snap-called and covered his face in frustration when Eldabach showed him his rivered full house to win the massive pot, leaving Estanislau as a short stack.

Level 26 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Sebastian Langrock raised to 275,000 from under the gun and earned three callers including Dorel Eldabach, Samuel Albeck with the A♥Q♦10♣7♠ and Ali Balci with the 6♣5♣4♥3♥ out of the blinds.

The A♠J♥8♠ flop saw Langrock bet the pot and then call-in when Eldabach jammed.

Sebastian Langrock: K♠K♦10♠5♥
Dorel Eldabach: A♣J♦10♥8♣

Langrock had 58% equity with his gutshot and flush draw versus two pair. The K♥ turn vaulted Langrock into the lead with a set and he then made the flush with the 2♠ river.

Tomasz Kozub: 9♥8♦6♠2♥
Samuel Albeck: K♠Q♣8♣4♠

The board ran out 7♠5♣3♦5♠9♠ and Albeck finished with a flush to send Kozub to the rail in eighth place.

Level 26 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Sebastian Langrock opened to 275,000 with the 10♣9♥7♥6♦ and Oswin Ziegelbecker three-bet to 975,000 with the A♠K♠K♦3♦. It folded back to the initial raiser and Langrock folded.

Tomasz Kozub then raised to 275,000 with the A♦K♦Q♥2♥ first to act and Ali Balci defended the 6♠6♥4♦2♦ in the big blind. Balci flopped gin on 5♣3♠2♣ and checked, Kozub checked it back.

Balci then bet the K♠ turn for the size of the pot, worth 700,000 total. Kozub stuck around to the J♦ river on which Balci bet the pot for another 2,100,000 with just 65,000 behind. The call of Kozub followed a few seconds later and the Pole tossed his cards towards the middle of the table with plenty of frustration.

Level 26 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Ali Balci limped in from early position, Oswin Ziegelbecker came along on the button, and Dorel Eldabach checked his option.

The flop came J♣8♥3♥ and Ziegelbecker bet 200,000. Eldabach then raised to 900,000 and Balci folded. Ziegelbecker, though, moved all in for 2,200,000 and Eldabach asked for a count before calling.

Oswin Ziegelbecker: K♣J♥J♦8♣
Dorel Eldabach: 4♠3♦3♣2♣

Ziegelbecker had Eldabach crushed with a set of jacks over a set of threes. The J♠ fell on the turn and Ziegelbecker made quads to leave Eldabach drawing dead and paying him off by the time the 2♠ came on the river.

Dorel Eldabach raised to 250,000 in the hijack and received calls from button Adolf Buettner and Ali Balci in the small blind.

The flop came Q♥10♥J♥ and action checked to Buettner who moved all in for 410,000. Balci quickly folded, but Eldabach tanked for a moment before tossing in a chip to signify a call.

Adolf Buettner: K♣9♠9♣8♠
Dorel Eldabach: A♣K♠K♦Q♦

Both players had flopped a straight, but Eldabach was in front with his nut straight and had Buettner drawing thin. The board ran out 9♥3♥ and Buettner was sent to the rail in ninth place.

Level 25 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Sebastian Langrock limped in from the button before Matthew Macioce raised to 320,000 in the small blind. Langrock then reraised to 1,040,000 and Macioce folded as Langrock showed K♠Q♥10♠.

A few hands later, Macioce raised to 240,000 in the cutoff and Tomasz Kozub called from the big blind. The flop came 8♦K♥7♣.

Macioce continued for 160,000, Kozub slid forward a tower of chips for a reraise, Macioce stuck in his last 1,020,000, and Kozub called.

Matthew Macioce: K♠Q♥J♣10♣
Tomasz Kozub: A♠K♣9♣6♣

Both players had a pair of kings, but Kozub was ahead with his ace-kicker. The board ran out 2♣3♠ and Macioce couldn't improve to hit the rail in 10th place.

The remaining nine players are now drawing for seats at the final table.
