Level 26 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Tomas Bulksas opened to 80,000 in the hijack. Kenneth Olaisen fired a three-bet to 200,000 in the small blind, and Bulksas flat-called.

Olaisen bet big on the 6♥7♣4♠ flop, sliding in a bet of 450,000. Bulksas thought for a bit, then moved all in. Olaisen immediatelly called off for 1,050,000.

Kenneth Olaisen: A♠A♣ All in
Tomas Bulksas: K♠K♦

Bulksas had just two outs against Olaisen's aces. No king came on the 10♦ turn or J♥ river, doubling Olaisen to a stack of over 60 big blinds.

Just before this hand, start-of-day chipleader John Blomberg had been eliminated in a big pot against Sergi Kapanadze, giving the latter a stack of around 70 big blinds.

Level 26 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Atte Franssila made it 80,000 to go in the cutoff. Helena Ling then moved all in for 500,000 on the button, and Franssila called after some time in the tank.

Helena Ling: K♥K♦ All in
Atte Franssila: 8♠8♣

"I can't believe it. I can't f**king believe it," Franssila said as this marked the second time he had run into Ling's kings.

Franssila repeated his mantra a few times as the 9♣4♠10♣ flop and 2♥ turn appeared, but he fell quiet as the 8♦ river upgraded him to a set.

Franssila had cracked Ling's kings, sending the last lady remaining to the exit in 20th place.

Petter Berg: K♠10♠

Berg flopped monstrous on 2♠5♠10♣. His top pair turned into a flush on the Q♠ turn, rendering the Q♥ river meaningless.

Bulksas sized up to 220,000 on the Q♥ turn. Blomberg check-called again, after which the 8♥ river was checked to showdown.

Blomberg tabled A♣9♥ for a pair of nines, but Bulksas had top pair with K♥7♥ and was awarded the pot.
