Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Ran Shahar
Ran Shahar

Omer Segal raised to 400 from the cutoff, but Ran Shahar three-bet to 1,500 from the button. The blinds folded, and Segal decided to quickly four-bet to 4,200. Shahar eventually called.

Segal continued with a bet of 5,500 on the 3♥3♠9♦ flop, and Shahar called. Then on the turn 2♦, Segal moved all in for a little bit less than 20,000. Shahar snap-called.

Omer Segal: A♥Q♠
Ran Shahar: 8♣3♣

Shahar had an unorthodox hand, but he managed to hit trips on the flop. As Segal had a slightly smaller stack than Shahar, he was the first player of the day eliminated after the river Q♦.

On a board of 3♠K♣9♠4♠ with 8,000 in the pot, Haci Bayram moved all in for 16,400 in the small blind. Fredrik Aasgaard in middle position asked for the count and went into the tank for two minutes. He eventually shoved with a bigger stack and Massimo Armenio folded in the cutoff.

Haci Bayram: Q♠9♦
Fredrik Aasgaard: K♠K♦

Aasgaard called with top set and hit the best flush on the river 10♠. Bayram was eliminated, but just reentered the tournament.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Michal Schuh opened the action, shoving his remaining 2,500 chips from the button and got called by Eduardo Egea Vandepette in the big blind.

Michal Schuh: A♠10♣
Eduardo Egea Vandepette: K♦6♦

Schuh was already up from his seat as the K♥10♠5♦ came on the flop.

A Q♥ on the turn gave the Czech extra outs, but his elimination from the tournament was confirmed as the 4♦ hit on the river.

"No bounty?" Vandepette jokingly asked, as he scooped a modest pot.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Serkan Kuru
Serkan Kuru

A five-way pot preflop started with the under-the-gun player opening to 2,000. Serkan Kuru and Zahir Messouat called in the hijack and on the button respectively, before the small and big blinds also called.

The flop came 10♥3♦2♦, and after the small blind, big blind and under the gun all checked, Kuru led out for 6,000. Messouat was next to act and he raised to 18,000, prompting all other players to instantly fold apart from Kuru. The German tanked, then shoved all in and got the call from Messouat, who was at risk.

Zahir Messouat: 10♠8♥
Serkan Kuru: A♥10♦

With Messouat being outkicked, the 4♣ on the turn offered no help to the Frenchman.

His exit was confirmed on the river, as the 4♦ landed, scooping Kuru the pot.

Level 11 : Blinds 600/1,500, 1,500 ante

The action is joined on a flop of A♣J♣10♠, as João Roque Mestre Ferreira checked in middle position. Benjamin Stiefel, who was on the button, opened to 5,500 and got a call.

Ferreira once again checked as the 7♠ hit the turn. This time Stiefel made it 11,000 but Ferreira stayed to see a river.

A 7♥ came before the Mexican checked a third street. Stiefel made it 20,000, putting his opponent all in to call. He did, and mucked his hand in disappointment as Stiefel showed the A♠J♠.
