Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Tiago Luis bet 25,000 from under the gun on a flop of Q♦5♦3♦ and Johnny Lindroos raised to 70,000 in the hijack. Luis called and the turn came the 4♥.

Lindroos then moved all in for 167,000 and Luis called, turning over 10♣10♦. Lindroos had A♦A♣ and won the pot with his aces once the Q♠ completed the board on the river, earning him a double up.

At the same time on another table, Panagiotis Mavritsakis and Florens Feenstra went to a flop of J♥5♥2♥ where Feenstra got his last 247,000 in the middle.

Florens Feenstra: Q♠J♦ All in
Panagiotis Mavritsakis: J♠2♠

Mavritsakis had flopped two pair to leave Feentra at risk, but the board ran out 9♥9♠ to counterfeit his jacks and deuces and give Feenstra the double up with his queen-kicker.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Panagiotis Mavritsakis moved all in for 151,000 in the hijack and Joaquin Exposito called in the big blind.

Panagiotis Mavritsakis: A♣Q♣ All in
Joaquin Exposito: 9♦9♠

The flop came 8♣3♥5♠ and Mavritsakis was already standing up from his seat as the 6♠ fell on the turn. The river was the Q♦ and Mavritsakis sat back down after spiking a queen to win the pot, leaving Exposito nursing an extreme short stack.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Bernat Carreras got his last 150,000 in the middle from the big blind as Mauro Panto put him at risk on the button.

Bernat Carreras: A♠A♦ All in
Mauro Panto: 10♠7♣

Carreras hit top set on the A♥Q♥5♣ flop and Panto was left drawing dead after the 2♣ turn. The river was the 10♣ and Carreras doubled up.

At the same time at another table, Paul Minzariu was tangled in a massive pot against Gabriel Valls as both players had all their chips in the middle, Minzariu in the cutoff and Valls in the big blind.

Minzariu had K♥K♦ while Valls could only show two tens and failed to improve on the 6♣4♦2♥3♠9♥ board. The stacks were counted down and Valls had 520,000 remaining. Minzariu had him covered and Valls was sent to the rail.

"Huge pot," Minzariu said.

Level 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Mauro Panto raised to 32,000 under the gun and Oscar Capenillo moved all in for 160,000 in middle position. The table folded back to Panto who called to put Capenillo at risk.

Oscar Capenillo: A♣K♦ All in
Mauro Panto: 5♥4♥

Panto had just five-high but hit two pair on the 5♣4♦9♣ flop. The rest of the board ran out 9♥9♦ and he improved to two pair to send Capenillo to the rail.

"Is he rebuilding again?" Deividas Sabaliauskas, observing his former table on the rail, asked.

"El Matadores. That's his lucky spot," Helder da Silva added.
