Marius Iftimia opened to 30,000 from the hijack and Alexandre Viard defended from the big blind.

The flop came J♦7♥4♠ and Viard check-called a 20,000 continuation bet from Viard.

Iftimia bet again on the A♣ turn, this time for 40,000 which was enough to force a fold from his opponent.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Thomas Weinmeyer opened to 25,000 from the hijack and Alessandro Barda moved all in from the button for 135,000. Omilescu asked for a count and then made the call with a covering stack. Weinmeyer got out of the way leaving Barda all in and at risk.

Alessandro Barda: A♣7♣
Dorin Omilescu: K♦K♥

Omilescu was well ahead with pocket-kings and remained so on the Q♠4♠5♠9♦Q♦ runout to take down a decent pot and secure Barda's elimination.
