Andrieiev Forces Out Sapitavicius

Level 7 : 900/1,800, 1,800 ante

Following a heads-up turn of {j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades}, Andrii Andrieiev checked and Arunas Sapitavicius bet. The check-raise to 31,000 followed and Sapitavicius stuck around. After the {5-Clubs} river, Andrieiev bet another 50,000 and that did the trick to force a fold.

Berinov Busts to Madanzhiev

Level 7 : 900/1,800, 1,800 ante
Stoyan Madanzhiev
Stoyan Madanzhiev

Following a raise to 5,000 and a cold-call, Stoyan Madanzhiev three-bet to 20,000 in the hijack. The cutoff called and Andrei Berinov then jammed for 91,200 in the small blind. It folded back to Madanzhiev, who then moved all-in himself and isolated successfully.

Andrei Berinov: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Stoyan Madanzhiev: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

"It's not over yet," Kilian Desnos said and repeated the same phrase on the {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop. He changed the tune to "okay, it's over" on the {9-Diamonds} turn and added "goodbye" on the {8-Hearts} river.

"Welcome to my club," Desnos grinned to Madanzhiev, who now also has a decent stack.

Szabo Eliminated by Gicovanu

Level 7 : 900/1,800, 1,800 ante

Zoltan Szabo raised and picked up one caller in Paul Newey to then face the three-bet by Marius-Alexandru Gicovanu. Szabo shipped it in for around 75,000 and Newey folded, Gicovanu snap-called for a very specific reason.

Zoltan Szabo: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Marius-Alexandru Gicovanu: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

The board ran out {a-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{k-Spades} and Gicovanu made the top set to lock it up on the turn already.

Egilli Doubles With a Flush

Level 7 : 900/1,800, 1,800 ante

With 17,700 in the middle and the flop showing {a-Spades}{8-Spades}{5-Spades}, Suat Egilli checked. Yazan Mdanat bet 16,500 and faced the shove for 62,400 by Egilli. Mdanat reluctantly called and revealed top pair with a flush draw.

Suat Egilli: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}
Yazan Mdanat: {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

The {a-Hearts} turn opened up some equity but the {q-Spades} river was a blank.

No Dinner Break on Day 1a

Level 7 : 900/1,800, 1,800 ante

Since the dinner buffet in the hotel has been extended, there is no need for a longer dinner break. As a result, there will just be one more short 10-minute break ahead of the ninth and final level before the survivors bag and tag for the night one hour later.
