Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Dan Petrea moved all in from under the gun for 455,000 and Johny Mendes moved all in on top from the button with a covering stack to put Petrea at risk.

Dan Petrea: A♦Q♣
Johny Mendes: J♣J♥

It was a classic flip that Mendes pulled ahead of on the 8♥4♠5♦ flop. Mendes spiked a set on the J♠ turn leaving Petrea calling dead. The 7♦ river was inconsequential and Petrea was sent to the rail while Mendes collected a decent pot.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Igor Kaufman limped from the small blind and Dionysios Kartsampas checked his big blind option to the J♥A♦3♥ flop.

Kaufman checked to Kartsampas, who slid out a bet of 200,000. Kaufman then asked for a count of his opponent's remaining stack before raising enough to put Kartsampas all in.

After counting out his remaining 1,450,000 chips and taking a few minutes in the tank, Kartsampas made the call.

Dionysios Kartsampas: A♣Q♦
Igor Kaufman: A♥10♥

Kartsampas was in front but needed to dodge plenty of cards. The 10♠ was one of those, as Kaufman connected for two pair. The 7♠ was no help to Kartsampas, who wished everyone good luck on his way out of the tournament room.
