Tyler Foran

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

The 10♥5♣4♥ flop was already on the felt, and Kurt Radinger was all in for about 1,600,000 against Eduardo Lopes, with both hands face up.

Kurt Radinger: A♣10♣
Eduardo Lopes: A♠A♥

Radinger had flopped top pair top-kicker but was in rough shape against Lopes' pocket aces. The Q♦ turn and 7♣ river changed nothing as Radinger exited the tournament.

Richard Hayes

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

A hugely significant hand has just taken place.

Marcus Borowski opened to 245,000 under the gun and was three-bet to 690,000 by Kirill Burtin in the next seat. Action folded around to Ercan Atmaca on the button, who pondered his options for some time. Atmaca then produced the cold four-bet to 1,600,000.

Back to Borowski, who exhaled deeply before announcing he was all-in for 2,750,000 total. Burtin looked perplexed, and clearly had a decision, as he thought about the position for some time before folding.

The action moved back to Atmaca, who made a quick call, with Borowski at risk.

Marcus Borowski: A♣A♠
Ercan Atmaca: J♦J♠

Atmaca was in trouble, but the 7♠9♣10♦ flop give him additional hope with a straight draw, and sure enough the 8♥ rolled off on the turn to leave Borowski drawing dead.

The 6♠ completed the board, sending a huge pot to Atmaca and resulting in a cruel ending for Borowski.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ercan Atmaca	14,000,000 7,400,000	7,400,000
Kirill Burtin	4,900,000 3,150,000	3,150,000

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Patrick Beuter opened 250,000 under the gun and only Antonino Venneri made the call on the button.

The dealer fanned a flop of 9♦6♥2♦, and Beuter continued for 450,000. Venneri called.

When the 6♣ fell on the turn, Beuter jammed for about 1,300,000 and Venneri snap-called.

Patrick Beuter: J♦J♠
Antonino Venneri: 9♠6♠

Venneri turned a full house and Beuter wasn't able to catch one of the last remaining jacks as the 4♥ landed on the river.

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Timo Scarcella: A♣Q♦
Catalin Moraru: K♣5♣

The flop came Q♣5♠4♦, pairing both players but Scarcella was still in the lead with a pair of queens. The 6♣ hit the turn, giving Moraru a flush draw and the 2♣ river completed the flush, sending Scarcella home in 24th place.

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Agostino Ascone opened 350,000 under the gun and Miroslav Forman called on the button.

The dealer fanned a flop of J♥7♠7♦, and Ascone continued for 400,000. Forman called.

When the K♠ hit the river, Ascone fired a bet of 800,000, and Forman matched his bet.

The 5♣ completed the board on the river, and Ascone bet 700,000. Forman took about 10 seconds before announcing all-in. Ascone went into the tank for about three minutes before time was called. With the floor counting down, he dropped a chip across the line to make the call.

Forman tabled A♥7♥, flopping trip sevens, and Ascone frustratingly splashed his stack across the table while showing A♠K♥.

Andrew Hawkins: Q♥J♠

Hawkins needed some help but was drawing very thin after the A♥A♦10♥ flop.
