Level 24
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Andras Nemeth open-raised his button to 525,000. Ole Schemion defended his big blind and check-called Nemeth's continuation-bet of 425,000 on the Q♠3♥5♠ flop.
Both players then checked through the 4♣ turn, prompting the dealer to place the 10♥ as the river.
After Schemion checked again, Nemeth fired 1,300,000 into the pot. Schemion used his entire shot clock before he flicked in a calling chip, but his cards hit the muck when Nemeth tabled A♠5♥5♦7♦ for a set.

Andras Nemeth raised to 525,000 as first to act. Ole Schemion called in the small blind before Aku Joentausta squeezed in a three-bet to 2,100,000 from the big blind. Nemeth and Schemion both called, creating a monster pot of over 6,000,000.
The flop fell J♣10♣8♦, on which Schemion quickly moved all in for 3,175,000. Joentausta asked for a count before he folded, and Nemeth's cards eventually joined the muck as well.
Schemion cheered audibly as he was shipped the big pot, elevating him to second place on the leaderboard.

Hossein Ensan got his last 1,200,000 or so over the line from the small blind on a 4♠9♦A♣ flop, and was up against Aku Joentausta.
Hossein Ensan: Q♠Q♥10♦8♥ 
Aku Joentausta: A♠9♠7♦6♣
Joentausta had a big lead over Ensan's queens, and the 2019 WSOP Main Event champion saw another PLO Grand Slam final table come to an end in fifth place when the board ran out 10♠5♦.

: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Andras Nemeth opened to 525,000 under the gun. Ole Schemion called on the button, and Hossein Ensan defended his big blind.
Nemeth continued for 400,000 on the A♣10♥6♦ flop, getting only Schemion along to the 2♦ turn. Nemeth then slowed down as he checked it over to Schemion.
Schemion pushed in 2,600,000, leaving himself about 400,000 back. Nemeth reluctantly mucked his cards, granting the pot to Schemion without showdown, who raked in the chips with a smile.

: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Hossein Ensan limped in under the gun, and Andras Nemeth followed suit in the hijack. Stanislav Zegal then raised the pot to 750,000 in the small blind, which Ensan called.
Nemeth had other plans, back-raising to 3,150,000. Zegal quickly called all in for 1,175,000 total, after which Ensan reluctantly folded his hand.
Stanislav Zegal: A♦A♣9♦5♠
Andras Nemeth: 7♥7♦6♦6♣
The red-hot Nemeth immediately made a set on the 6♥2♥10♥ flop, and it turned into one of his trademark full houses on the 3♣3♥ runout.
Zegal's chips ended up in Nemeth's ever-growing stack, being eliminated in sixth place as the first player to rake in six figures.

Level 23
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Andras Nemeth made it 420,000 under the gun. "Sonic" upped the ante to 1,440,000 in the neighboring seat, which Nemeth quickly called once it had folded back to him.
"Sonic" committed their remaining 2,000,000 on the K♥10♠6♥ flop, being snapped off by the chipleader.
"Sonic": A♥J♥10♦7♦
Andras Nemeth: K♠K♣10♣6♠
"Sonic" had outs to work with against the top set of Nemeth, but they did not arrive on the 5♠ turn or 3♣ river. They said their goodbye to their former tablemates, exiting just before the second break of the day.
