Level 8 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

After several limps, Sebestyen Balint raised to 40,000 in the small blind. Ermanno Di Nicola called in the hijack, and Marcus Dieleman did so on the button.

It checked to Dieleman on the 8♣7♠J♥ flop, and he bet 25,000. Balint quickly folded, but Di Nicola called to the 4♦ turn.

Two checks followed, after which Di Nicola bet the pot on the 10♣ river, putting Dieleman all in for 131,500. Dieleman opted not to risk his final chips, folding his hand to forfeit the pot.

Stefan Lehner checked the completed board of 2♠7♠K♠9♥8♥ over to Aku Joentausta. Joentausta moved all in for 97,000, adding to the pot of 113,000, and Lehner mulled it over a bit before he called.

Joentausta tabled Q♠10♦9♠8♠ for the second nuts, leaving the third nuts of Lehner, who played J♠5♠7♥7♣, in the dust.

Tom-Aksel Bedell got his last blinds in on a 4♠7♣J♣ flop against Gabi Livshitz, and was at risk.

Tom-Aksel Bedell: A♣J♠10♠2♠ All in
Gabi Livshitz: Q♠Q♥4♦4♣

The 10♣ turn gave Bedell some outs, but the 6♠ river was of no help. Livshitz took the pot with his pair to eliminate Bedell for the second time today.

"I knew it. Born to lose," the 2025 PLO Grand Slam Tirana champion said on his way out.
