Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Pedro Lopes raised to 35,000 from the button before Mathias Duarte made it 130,000 from the big blind. Lopes called and the flop was A♦4♣9♠.

Duarte fired 80,000 and Lopes called. The turn was K♠ and Duarte continued for 130,000. Lopes called again and the river was 6♦.

Duarte shoved the river and Lopes spread out his time banks to contemplate his last 1,040,000. After a few moments of thought, Lopes slammed down a small stack of chips to call and turned over K♥4♥ for a pair of kings. Duarte showed 9♦8♣ for a pair of nines and Lopes took the huge pot.

Elsewhere, Alejandro Arnold and Frank Lagodich have been eliminated from the tournament.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

With a flop of J♠9♣6♥, Sammy Lafleur was seen with all of his stack of about 400,000 in the middle against Ka Kwan Lau and both hands were on their backs.

Sammy Lafleur: Q♥Q♦
Ka Kwan Lau: 6♦6♠

Lafleur had an overpair to the board but was in trouble as Lau flopped a set of sixes. The 8♥ turn and K♥ river were no help for Lafleur though as he exited the tournament.

Petr Svoboda shoved for his last 65,000 from the cutoff and was called by Oshri Lahmani on the button and Bernat Capdevila Montes in the big blind.

Montes check-folded facing a 75,000 bet from Lahmani on the 7♣J♦Q♣ flop and a showdown was held.

Petr Svoboda: Q♦Q♠

Svoboda had flopped the nuts to crack Lahmani's aces and the 9♥ turn and 5♠ river kept him in front for the full triple up.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Ramin Hajiyev opened to 35,000 from early position and was called by Khazret Nebezhev seated on his left in the hijack, by Alessandro Pichierri in the cutoff, and Frank Lagodich in the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 4♥7♠A♣, where Hajiyev made a continuation bet of 45,000. But Nebezhev decided to three-bet to 115,000. Pichierri and Lagodich folded, but Hajiyev called.

The 3♠ came on the turn, and Nebezov fired a second barrel of 95,000. Hajiyev check-called. There was no more action on the river K♠ as both players checked.

Hajiyev revealed A♦K♦. Nebezov made a face, and eventually folded.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Robin Ylitalo opened 30,000 in the cutoff and Maksim Vaskresenski called on the button, as did Pedro Lopes from the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of A♥Q♣5♦, and Lopes checked before Ylitalo continued for 30,000. Vaskresenski called, but Lopes got out of the way.

The 9♣ turn and 7♣ river were checked down by both players and Ylitalo rolled his A♦6♦ face up, flopping top pair. Vaskresenski mucked his hand and the dealer pushed the pot to Ylitalo.
