Level 4
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs jammed his final 27,000 all in from the cutoff and the action folded to Maher Nouira, who quickly called.
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♥2♥
Maher Nouira: 8♠8♦.
Ponakovs paired his deuce on the 2♦Q♣3♠ flop, but no further help arrived on the 10♣Q♦ runout, and he was thus forced to take his leave.
On an adjacent table, Kyle Cheong was also seen collecting his belongings and heading towards the exit of the tournament room after losing the last of his remaining chips.

Maher Nouira raised to 4,000 from the button and Aleksejs Ponakovs made the call from the big blind. The flop fell 6♣4♦9♣ and Ponakovs check-called an 8,000 continuation-bet from Nouira.
The 10♥ turn was dealt and Ponakovs took the initiative with a bet of 7,000. Nouira made the call before Ponakovs went into the tank on the 10♠ river.
After a few time bank extensions, Ponakovs settled on a bet of 13,000, which quickly got raised by Nouira to put Ponakovs all-in. The Latvian quickly folded and was left with only 32,000.

With three players seeing a board of Q♠9♦8♥ and about 15,500 in the middle, Quan Zhou checked in the big blind, Alex Kulev checked in early position and Steve O'Dwyer bet 4,500 from the button. Both Zhou and Kulev called.
On the 6♦ turn Zhou lead out with a bet of 16,500. Kulev folded while O'Dwyer made the call.
Zhou bet again for 36,500 on the 2♥ river and this time it was enough to force a fold from O'Dwyer.

Teun Mulder found himself all in and at risk for approximately 50,000 versus Quan Zhou who had a covering stack.
Teun Mulder: 10♥10♠
Quan Zhou: 3♥3♠
Mulder was in great shape to double up with the higher pocket pair but the Q♥7♦3♦ flop gave Zhou a set leaving Mulder drawing to just two outs. Those outs never materialized on the 7♠ turn or Q♠ river resulting in Mulder's elimination while Zhou scooped the pot.

Jules Dickerson raised from the button and Albert Daher three-bet to 18,000 chips from the big blind. Dickerson made the call before the 5♦Q♥J♥ flop was fanned out by the dealer and both players elected to check.
The pair also checked through the 7♥ turn and 4♠ river, after which Daher showed down 10♠10♥ for the winning hand.

With 18,000 in the middle, Juan Pardo checked from the big blind on a board of 9♦6♣J♣. Artur Martirosian, on his second bullet, then made a bet of 12,000 from under the gun and Joao Vieira made the call from the button. Pardo followed suit and a 5♦ turn was dealt.
Pardo checked once more and this time Martirosian opted for a pot-sized bet of 55,000. It did not deter Vieira from calling, but Pardo elected to fold.
Martirosian slowed down on the K♦ river with a check, after which Vieira put forth 122,000 chips, only leaving himself 1,000 behind. Martirosian asked for a count, sighed, and forfeited the pot to Vieira when he tossed his cards to the muck pile.

Kyle Cheong and Vicente Delgado had created a pot of roughly 60,000 chips when they arrived on the river on 7♥4♣4♥2♠5♣. Cheong put out a big bet of 65,000 chips from the big blind, leaving himself 90,000 behind.
Delgado then shoved all in over the top and Cheong folded his cards before his shot clock ran out.

Alex Kulev raised to 4,500 from the hijack before Vicente Delgado three-bet to 18,000 from the big blind. Kulved mulled over his options for a bit before putting out a four-bet to 45,000 chips.
This was enough to garner a quick fold from Delgado, and Kulev chipped back up to above starting stack.
