Level 18 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Leonid Yanovski raised to 140,000 in early position and was called by Gergo Nagy on the button and big blind Hossein Ensan.

Action checked to the river on a board 7♦5♠3♠J♣Q♣ when Nagy bet 250,000. Only Ensan called.

Nagy instantly mucked and Ensan showed A♠Q♥ as he took the pot.

At the same time as the double knockout earlier, Dominykas Karmazinas was also eliminated by Amir Mozaffarian. As recounted by Alexander Petersen, Karmazinas raised in early position and Mozaffarian called.

The flop came Qx9x2x with two diamonds and Karmazinas potted. Mozaffarian called and they got the rest of Karmazinas' chips in the middle on another deuce on the turn.

Karmazinas had two kings, but Mozaffarian had two aces to win the pot and send Karmainzas to the rail.

"You can quote me and write he played it very badly," Petersen said.

Level 18 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Stefan Lehner raised to 175,000 under the gun, leaving just 30,000 behind, as Amir Mozaffarian reraised to 600,000 in the hijack. The rest of the table got out of the way and Lehner tossed in his last chips.

Stefan Lehner: A♠8♠7♣5♣ All in
Amir Mozaffarian: A♣A♦9♦5♥

Lehner needed to improve against Mozaffarian's aces, but the 2♦3♦3♣8♥6♣ board was no help and Lehner was sent to the rail in 17th place.

At the same time at another table, Yusuf Kumtepe moved all in for 245,000 from the small blind on a board of 9♦8♣6♦2♣ and Tom-Aksel Bedell called in the big blind. Aki Vihikainen then reraised to 1,400,000.

"What do I do? My life depends on this," Bedell said as he tanked for a minute before folding.

Kumtepe had J♥8♦7♥2♥ for two pair and needed to hold against Vihikainen's A♣Q♣10♥8♥, but the 9♣ fell on the river to give Vihikainen the nut flush and send Kumtepe to the rail in 16th place.

Stefan Lehner bet 125,000 from the big blind on a board of 4♥8♠7♦10♥ and Amir Mozaffarian raised to 740,000 under the gun. Vitalijs Korhs then moved all in for 965,000 on the button, Lehner folded, while Mozaffarian called.
