Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

James Chen moved all in from the hijack for 62,000 and was called by Simon Wilson who covered.

James Chen: 8♦8♥
Simon Wilson: 9♦5♦

Chen was well ahead with pocket eights but the A♦10♥7♦ flop gave Wilson more outs in the form of a flush draw. Wilson picked up a gutshot straight draw as well on the J♥ turn but the 2♠ river was a blank and Chen secured a full double up on the stone bubble.

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Junhyoung Ki opened to 25,000 from middle position and Moritz Dietrich three-bet to 60,000 from the button. Ki moved all in, covering Dietrich who already had one of the biggest stacks in the room at 348,500. Dietrich snap-called and was at risk.

Moritz Dietrich: 10♥10♦
Junhyoung Ki: A♠4♣

"Good luck" Dietrich told his opponent as the board ran out J♠3♥6♣5♠5♥. Dietrich's pocket pair held and he secured a massive double up while Ki was left with under five big blinds.

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Rachid El Yaacoubi raised to 38,000, leaving himself just 500 behind, and Veronica Tuscano called in the big blind.

Tuscano put El Yaacoubi all in on the 8♣2♣7♦ flop and El Yaacoubi called.

Rachid El Yaacoubi: K♠J♠
Veronica Tuscano: 9♣8♠

Tuscano held the lead with her flopped pair of eights, and the Q♣ turn nor Q♠ river improved El Yaacoubi — eliminating him just prior to the money bubble.

Veronica Tuscano	110,000 51,000	51,000

Junhyoung Ki raised from under the gun and Rens Buijs defended his big blind off a short stack to see the 8♠2♦9♥ flop. The rest of Bejis' stack found the middle after Ki put in another bet.

Rens Buijs: J♦7♠
Junhyoung Ki: A♠4♣

Bujis was looking to complete a straight draw, but the A♥ turn and 8♣ river only improved Ki to claim the pot.

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

With two players seeing a board of 9♠3♠2♦ and roughly 45,000 in the middle, Kalle Persson checked and Blaz Zerjav bet 15,000. Persson check-raised to 40,000 and Zerjav called.

Both players checked the K♦ turn leading to the K♥ river. Persson moved all in, covering Zerjav who had roughly 105,000 behind. Zerjav went into the tank for a few minutes before a player called the clock. Zerjav still had not made a decision 30 seconds later and his hand was declared dead.

Player	Chips	Progress
Kalle Persson	380,000 50,000	50,000
Blaz Zerjav	105,000 105,000	105,000

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Kestutis Jungevicius opened to 20,000 in early position and was met with a quick all in from Samuel Sellam to his left for 118,500. The rest of the table folded back around to Jungevicius, who took some time to count out his stack before making the call.

Samuel Sellam: A♣A♦
Kestutis Jungevicius: A♠J♣

Jungevicius was looking to crack Sellam's aces and found some help on the Q♦J♠Q♣ flop. The rest of the 8♦6♦ runout was safe for Sellam, earning the double up near the money bubble.

Samuel Sellam	262,000 187,000	187,000

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

With three players seeing a board of J♥9♥3♠ and roughly 65,000 in the middle, Hyungwoon kim had moved all in for 60,500 from the small blind, sending Veronica Tuscano in the big blind deep into the tank.

After a few minutes the clock was called and Tuscano would end up folding. Immediately afterwards Felix Kretschmann would snap-call with a covering stack from the next seat over.

Hyungwoon Kim: A♦J♦
Felix Kretschmann: Q♦Q♥

Kretschmann was ahead with the overpair and remained so on the 6♦ turn and 9♥ river to score the knockout and take down a healthy pot.
