Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Kenny Deffrasnes opened to 16,000 from middle position and Francky Magliocco called from the cutoff. Elias Fisz then jammed for 148,000 from the big blind.

Deffrasnes quickly folded before Magliocco tank-called.

Elias Fisz: {a-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Francky Magliocco: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

Fisz paired up to take the lead on the {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop and he improved to two pair on the {5-Clubs} turn. The {j-Clubs} completed the board, and Fisz found an uplift in his stack.

Piotr Matejczyk raised to 25,000 from early position, leaving just a single 1,000 chip behind. Action folded around to Mathieu Rabalison in the big blind, who had the odds to make the call. He reshoved for Matejczyk's last 1,000.

Piotr Matejczyk: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Mathieu Rabalison: {4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The board ran out {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Matejczyk's hand held.

Silviu Baltateanu: {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Manoe Betrix: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Baltateanu was dominated and the runout of {4-Spades}{q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} marked his elimination despite making trips. Betrix turned to tell his opponent "good game" but Baltateanu had already stood up from his seat.

Back-To-Back All-Ins before the Break

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Wuai-Cheng Tsang
Wuai-Cheng Tsang

With a minute left before the break would start, Pascal Frezza opened from middle position to 16,000. His left-hand neighbor Andrea Campi was short-stacked and went all-in for 35,000. The action folded back to Frezza, who asked for a count and quickly called when he saw how much more it was.

Pascal Frezza: {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Andrea Campi: {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}

The dealer put out {q-Spades}{j-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. Frezza made trips while Campi got stuck on the underpair, resulting in his exit from the tournament.

On the next table over, a pot was brewing between Vladimir Lappo and Wuai-Cheng Tsang. The board read {j-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades}{9-Hearts} and big blind Tsang had check-raised the 60,000 bet from button Lappo to put him all-in for 198,000 total. Lappo went into the tank for his tournament life while the rest of the players trickled out of the room on their break. Eventually Lappo called with {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for top pair but saw the bad news when Tsang tabled {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for flopped trips.

The river {2-Spades} did not bring the miracle Lappo was hoping for, and he was the last player to seek the cashout desk before the break. Meanwhile Tsang happily stacked Lappo's chips as he moves up in the chip counts with what is now a seven-figure stack.

Plesuv Shoves Over Ferreira's Turn Lead to Win Huge Double

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Pavel Plesuv
Pavel Plesuv

Pavel Plesuv raised to 22,000 from the cutoff and Alain Ferreira called in the big blind.

The flop came {3-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}. Ferreira led out for 30,000 and Plesuv raised it up to 100,000.

The turn came the {6-Clubs} and Ferreira led out once again, this time for 75,000. Plesuv shoved all in for 230,000. Ferreira's forehead creased with anguish before he made the call.

Ferreira showed {k-Hearts}{10-Spades} for top pair, but Plesuv had {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for top pair with a higher kicker. The {j-Clubs} river further improved Plesuv's hand and he won a huge double up.
