Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Jon Persent was already all-in preflop and Edgaras Pipine & Iuliu Vlaic were involved with the pot having around 200,000 chips already in it.

On the A♦7♣10♥ flop, Edgaras Pipine bet 71,000 into the dry side pot and Iuliu Vlaic shoved for 180,000. Pipine snap-called. .

Jon Persent: Q♠Q♦ All in
Iuliu Vlaic: A♣K♣ All in
Edgaras Pipine: 10♦10♠

Pipine was a huge favorite to eliminate two players and send his stack flying up the leaderboard, but a 4♣ on the turn made things interesting as Vlaic picked up a flush draw.

"Club," said Vlaic.

"Queen," said Persent.

Well, both of their wishes came true as the Q♣ dropped on the river, which gave Vlaic the nut flush and a lock on the hand. Persent was eliminated, and Pipine was left with around 150,000 in his stack.

Tim Baker

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

With roughly 350,000 in the middle on a flop of K♥Q♠6♠, Tino Christ checked from the blinds and John Armbrust shoved for 325,000. Christ snap-called with slightly less chips than Armbrust.

Tino Christ: 8♦8♣ All in
John Armbrust: A♠9♠

Christ had made a great call with the pocket eights but had to avoid a lot of outs to survive. The J♥ turn gave armbrust even more outs, and the A♥ on the river improved Armbrust to top pair to win the pot and eliminate Christ.

Kai Cocklin

Level 19 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

With Jelmer Schuurmans being forced all-in from the big blind for his last 8,000, Stefan Ionita raised from under the gun to 16,000 and Iuliu Vlaic called. Marcus Hallabro also came along from the small blind.

On the 3♦5♠7♥ flop, Hallabro checked and Ionita bet 38,000. Vlaic flicked in the call, which got Hallabro to fold.

The turn brought a 9♦ and again Ionita reached for chips and bet 95,000, which Vlaic called after some time.

When the K♣ hit the river, Ionita shoved for 155,000, and Vlaid gave up his hand.

Schuurmans flipped K♦6♠ for a pair of kings, which earned him the main pot as Ionita only had A♣4♥. Nonetheless, Ionita still profited on the hand as he took a big side pot.

Level 19 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Safwane Bahri had opened the button and called the big blind three-bet of Narcis Nedelcu.

The two players saw a flop of A♠10♣2♣ and Nedelcu bet 100,000 with 40,000 behind. Bahri called.

Nedelcu shoved on the K♠ turn and Bahri snap-called.

Narcis Nedelcu: J♥J♠ All in
Safwane Bahri: K♣K♥

Bahri was ahead with his set of kings and could only lose to a queen on the river. However, the 2♠ was safe for Bahri and he sent Nedelcu to the cahsier's desk.
