Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Hristofor Kolev raised to 60,000 and Georgios Tsouloftas called from one seat over.

The flop came J♥J♦4♦ and Kolev bet 75,000 for Tsouloftas to call.

Fast forward to the 5♠ turn, the same action repeated for 175,000 and that led them to the K♦ river.

Kolev instantly pushed all-in and that sent Tsouloftas into agony. He vaulted out of his chair, pondered about his decision for a minute and called it off for the 205,000 he had behind.

Kolev tabled the K♠K♣ for kings full and Tsouloftas' 8♠8♥ were no good, as the Cypriot headed to the payout desk.

Tomas Kolarik opened to 30,000 from middle position and called when Mousa Awad raised to 95,000 on the button.

Kolarik checked the K♣6♠7♦ flop before Awad continued for 55,000. The call was made to see the 3♥ turn, where both players checked to the 10♠ river.

Kolarik moved all in and Awad called, turning over A♥K♣ for top pair. Kolarik revealed A♠A♦ to take the pot, knocking Awad out of the tournament.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Following a limp, Tobias Krueger jammed for 60,000 and Ilija Savevski moved all-in over the top to isolate.

Krueger's K♣Q♦ chopped with the K♦Q♣ of Savevski on a 5♣4♦2♠8♣6♣ runout.

Krueger open-shoved soon after with the A♠K♦ and flipped against Savevski, who revealed the 10♦10♣.

The board ran out Q♦10♥6♥4♠4♥ to give Savevski a full house.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Picking up the action on the 6♠5♠4♥ flop, Alfredo Vega Meister checked and Emilio Izvira bet 60,000. What followed was the check-shove by Vega Meister for around 550,000 and that sent Izvira into the tank. He eventually called for the 415,000 he had behind his bet and the cards were flipped over.

Emilio Izvira: 9♦9♣
Alfredo Vega Meister: A♠J♠

Izvira was happy to have a flip but the K♠ turn instantly sealed his fate to make the 7♦ river a formality.

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Leonardo Sabatino was already all-in and awaiting his fate when David Eiselt and Anthony Mahaut were still active to the A♠8♦5♠A♣Q♦ river. Eiselt pushed all-in and Mahaut folded after brief consideration.

Eiselt tabled the A♥8♣ for aces full of eights and the 6♠4♠ of Sabatino were briefly exposed before he left the tournament area.

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Thomas Maier gathered his belongings and slowly headed towards the payout desk but not before splashing his chips towards the dealer, who then pushed it to Johannes Mueller.

On a board of 7♦7♥5♥3♠4♣, the J♣J♠ of Mueller reigned supreme and that reduced the field further. Prior to the first break of the day, fewer than 180 players remain.
