Delgado's Turn to Double
Level 19
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Vicente Delgado: K♠5♦
Juan Pardo: A♦2♣
Delgado was the only player to pair up on the 5♠4♦8♦ flop, and upgraded his hand both on the 4♥ turn, as well as the K♦ river. He doubled up and closed the gap to Mulder.

No Take-Backsies
Level 19
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Vicente Delgado raised his button for 125,000 and Teun Mulder three-bet the small blind for 500,000, leaving himself 165,000 chips back. Delgado asked for a count and made the call, but under the presumption that it was an all-in bet. He was stopped from showing his cards just in time when he got told that Mulder still had chips behind.
"You can take it back," Mulder claimed. However, Delgado smiled and declined the generous offer.
The rest of Mulder's chips then went in on the Q♠2♥8♦ flop, and Delgado called.
Teun Mulder: 8♠8♥
Vicente Delgado: K♠9♠
Mulder had flopped a set and Delgado only had backdoor outs to look out for. However, he was drawing dead when he paired his king on the K♦ turn, and the A♣ river was dealt as a formality.
Mulder doubled up, leaving Delgado to take the role of table short-stack.

Pardo Catches Mulder
Level 19
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Juan Pardo raised to 125,000 from under the gun and Teun Mulder called from the big blind. The 7♦10♣2♦ flop saw Pardo continuation-bet for 90,000 after a check from Mulder, and the latter made the call thereafter.
The subsequent 3♥ turn was checked through before Mulder led out 200,000 on the 5♠ river. Pardo called without much delay and Mulder could only table 8♥6♥ for a bluff with eight-high. Pardo did not play a pair either, but his A♠J♠ still won him the pot as he made the correct call with ace-high.

Grafton Finds Hope on the River
Level 19
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
The action folded to Sam Grafton in the small blind and he jammed all in for 430,000. Vicente Delgado sat in the big blind and made the call after getting an approximation of his opponent's stack.
Sam Grafton: A♠6♣
Vicente Delgado: K♥7♠
The flop of 4♦3♣9♠ remained safe for Grafton, but the K♠ turn seemed to spell the end for him. However, the A♥ on the river saved him and the three-outer doubled him up to stay in contention for the title.
