Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

From the hijack, Marcin Dziubdziela opened to 50,000, and Rui Bouquet defended from the big blind.

On Q♣6♣J♥, Dziubdziela made a continuation-bet to 40,000. But Bouquet check-raised to 140,000.

Dziubdziela called, then bet 200,000 after Bouquet checked the turn 6♥. The Portuguese player eventually check-called.

The 2♠ came on the river, and Dziubdziela directly moved all in. Bouquet snap-folded, and Dziubdziela scooped the pot.

Level 23 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The action folded to the button where Karen Nazarian moved all in having both blinds covered. The small blind folded and then after a bit of thought Norbert Seefeldt called for his tournament life.

Norbert Seefeldt: K♠6♠
Karen Nazarian: A♥10♣

The J♠4♣10♦ flop landed and Seefeldt was drawing slim. The 5♠ turn gave him a few more outs in the form of a flush draw but the 4♥ river would not bring any help. Seefeldt hit the rail before the dinner break.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Around 350,000 was in the pot as Ali Al-Kubasi and Mehmet Berk Deniz went to the river on a completed board of 8♣8♠J♣K♦2♥.

Al-Kubasi, in the big blind, then pushed all in for 600,000 and Deniz tanked for a moment before sliding in a tower of chips to call.

Al-Kubasi turned over K♣4♣ for kings and eights, then began pumping his fist when Deniz showed just Q♣J♥ for a pair of jacks as Al-Kubasi doubled up.

Dietrich Fast was among the players recently to hit the rail.

Luka Bojovic opened to 50,000 in the hijack and Adam Rayhaan three-bet to 175,000 in the cutoff. Bojovic then four-bet jammed a stack of 850,000 and Rayhaan called with a bigger stack.

Luka Bojovic: K♠K♦
Adam Rayhaan: Q♠Q♦

Bojovic was on the right end of the preflop cooler and his kings held for a double as the board ran out a safe J♥7♣10♣10♦6♥.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Heads-up on a board of 8♥3♣K♦7♣, Grzegorz Kozieja bet 100,000 from the button and Bogdan-Andrei Munteanu called in early position.

The river came the 3♥ and Kozieja fired out 700,000, sending Munteanu deep into the tank.

Several minutes elapsed off the clock as Munteanu continued to consider the decision. "Will you show if I fold?" he asked Kozieja, who remained silent with the collar of his purple hoodie covering his mouth.

Munteanu eventually tossed in a chip to signify a call and Kozieja showed 7♠7♦ for a set. Munteanu mucked his hand.

"You can show two now," he joked with Kozieja, who raked in the massive pot.

Gaelle Baumann and Hwany Lee are also at this table.

Player	Chips	Progress
Grzegorz Kozieja	2,300,000 775,000	775,000

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Around 500,000 was already in the pot as Quan Zhou and Metin Yalciner went to the river on a board of 3♠Q♠8♥3♥4♠.

Zhou, on the button, then bet 400,000, enough to put Yalciner all in in the cutoff. Yalciner had around 250,000 remaining and tanked for several minutes, looking around the room and at the tournament clock before throwing in his last chips.

Zhou turned over Q♣J♣ for a pair of queens and Yalciner flashed Q♦7♦ before making his way to the exit.

Maybe a Straight Flush?

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Grzegorz Kozieja opened in middle position to 55,000. It folded to Gaelle Baumann on the button who called before Hwany Lee defended his big blind.

The 10♦5♦4♦ flop hit the felt and action quickly checked through to an 8♦ turn. It checked to Kozieja who put out a delayed continuation-bet of 50,000. Both of his opponents called.

The 6♦ landed on the river and Lee went into the tank for a moment before gathering enough chips to put in a large over-bet to the tune of 525,000.

Both of his opponents sat in the tank for almost two minutes each but eventually they both found a fold. Could Lee lead for this sizing with anything other than a straight flush?

Player	Chips	Progress
Grzegorz Kozieja	1,525,000 80,000	80,000
Hwany Lee	1,100,000 180,000	180,000

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

On Table 7, Marcelo Bonanata in the cutoff and his last 370,000 were called by Taras Khilko in the small blind.

Marcelo Bonanata: K♥Q♠
Taras Khilko: A♠Q♦

Khilko hit an ace on the board of A♥J♣9♥7♦5♣ to take the pot. The dealer had to count both stacks because they were almost even, but Bonanata was slightly covered, so he was eliminated.
