Level 1 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Timothy Adams
Timothy Adams

Action was caught with around 42,500 in the middle on a {q-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} board and Joao Vieira, in the small blind, had put in a bet of 40,000, leaving 58,000 behind.

Timothy Adams, in the cutoff, would use a timebank card before going all in. Vieira would snap-fold and Adams enjoyed a healthy addition to his stack.

Nick Petrangelo
Nick Petrangelo

Action was caught with heaps in the middle on a {j-Spades}{6-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} board and Nick Petrangelo had shoved all in, covering Pedro Garagnani by 17,500.

Garagnani went into the tank and eventually made the call. Petrangelo flipped over {7-Hearts}{2-Hearts} as Garagnani tabled {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} for the win.

Petrangelo busted a short time later. It's unclear whether or not he will return to the action.

Badziakouski Back in Business

Level 3 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Mikita Badziakouski
Mikita Badziakouski

In five-handed action, Mikita Badziakouski opened to 3,500 from the hijack and was called by Vladimir Korzinin on the button and Aleksejs Ponakovs in the big blind.

The flop came {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and Badziakouski continued for 2,000. Korzinin raised the flop on Badziakouski for the second straight hand, this time for 8,000. Ponakovs called and so did Badziakouski.

The turn brought the {j-Clubs} and Ponakovs lead out for 10,000. Badziakouski called, leaving 20,000 chips behind while Korzinin got out of the way.

The river brought the {7-Clubs} and Ponakovs would check over to the Belarusian, who put in his four remaining blue chips. Ponakovs would need 90 seconds, utilizing two of his time bank cards, before eventually making the fold.

Mateos Doubles Up Through Ramos

Level 4 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Adrian Mateos
Adrian Mateos

Action was caught as Adrian Mateos was faced with a 30,000 chip four-bet by Felipe Ramos from the button after having three-bet himself to 10,000 from the hijack. Mateos made the call.

The flop came {5-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Ramos continued for 15,000. Mateos shoved for 67,000 and Ramos snap-called.

Adrian Mateos: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Felipe Ramos: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Ramos was met with horrible news as Mateos had the bigger of the overpairs and the Brazilian needed to hit a jack to secure the pot.

However, the {7-Clubs} and {9-Hearts} completed the board and Mateos secured the full double up.

On the {3-Diamonds} river, Greenwood put Petrone all in. Petrone would go over the allotted 30 seconds before making the call and flipping over {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. However, Greenwood had {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} and the Argentinian was felted just before the first break.

Seth Davies
Seth Davies

Erik Seidel opened for 4,500 under the gun and Seth Davies called from the big blind.

The flop came {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Seidel put in a bet of 28,000 with just 33,500 behind. Davies went over the top and Seidel called.

Erik Seidel: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Seth Davies: {10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

Seidel had the aces and trumped the top pair of Davies. However, the turn brought the {10-Spades} and Seidel needed an ace, four, or a deuce to continue.

The river was the {6-Hearts} and Davies chipped up to around 170,000 while Seidel was eliminated.

Adrian Mateos
Adrian Mateos

Juha Helppi opened to 4,500 from the button and Sirzat Hissou called from the small blind. Adrian Mateos went over the top of both players and Helppi called off for roughly 35,000 while Hissou, with 38,500 chips behind, tossed his cards away.

Juha Helppi: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Adrian Mateos: {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

Helppi was in prime position to get the full double up from the Spaniard but the flop came {8-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} to fire Mateos into the lead.

The Finland star received a lot of help on the {7-Spades} turn but the {k-Hearts} eliminated him from the tournament, at least for now.

Level 6 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Juan Pardo
Juan Pardo

In a pot of roughly 20,000 on a flop of {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Spades}, Juan Pardo checked from the big blind and Seth Davies bet out 6,000 from the cutoff.

Vladimir Korzinin was next to act on the button and made the call. Pardo elected on a check-raise to 20,000 and Davies announced all in for close to 140,000. Korzinin quickly moved all in as well for less and Pardo snap-called, covering both stacks.

Vladimir Korzinin: {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Seth Davies: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}
Juan Pardo: {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}

It was a cooler flop for Davies and Korzinin hitting the board but being up against the bottom set of Pardo. The board ran out {8-Clubs} and {3-Clubs}, giving Pardo quads and eliminating two players.

Nick Petrangelo
Nick Petrangelo

Nick Petrangelo opened from the button to 5,000 and Sam Greenwood three-bet from the big blind to 15,000. Petrangelo called.

The flop came {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{q-Spades} and Greenwood dropped in a continuation bet of 20,000. Petrangelo made the call.

The turn brought the {3-Clubs} and Greenwood fired a second barrel, this time for 55,000. Petrangelo took his full 30 seconds and called once more.

The {6-Hearts} completed the board and both players would take their full 30 seconds before tapping the table. Greenwood showed {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a missed flush draw and Petrangelo flipped over {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for two pair, in addition to a missed flush draw.

Petrangelo remarked "I could have really won it" after seeing Greenwood was nearly the victim of a flush-over-flush situation.
