Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Bruno Volkmann raised to 175,000 from the small blind and Daniel Koloszar put out a three-bet to 400,000 from the big blind. Volkmann made the call and a 5♣2♦10♥ flop was spread out.

Volkmann checked and Koloszar made a bet of 210,000. Volkmann then raised to 450,000, after which Koloszar three-bet all in to 950,000. Volkmann called with the covering stack and a showdown was ordered.

Daniel Koloszar: Q♥Q♣
Bruno Volkmann: K♠10♣

Koloszar had the lead with his overpair, but the K♦ turn spelled disaster for him as it gave Volkmann two pair. The 6♣ river did not bring a queen to save Koloszar's tournament run, which ended in 20th place instead.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

The action folded to Eugenio Sanchioni in the small blind, and he jammed all in, covering the 1,075,000 stack of big blind Hussein Abud. Abud immediately called and the cards were tabled.

Hussein Abud: 8♠8♥
Eugenio Sanchioni: Q♥Q♦

The 3♥J♦10♣ flop brought no trouble for Sanchioni's queens, but the 9♣ turn gave Abud an open-ended straight draw. The 4♠ river bricked out, however, and Abud headed to the payout desk while Sanchioni nearly doubled up.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Haijme Watanabe open-jammed 545,000 chips from the hijack. The action folded to Jon Ander Martinez in the big blind, who asked for a count and made the call shortly thereafter.

Hajime Watanabe: 8♥8♣
Jon Ander Martinez: 7♠7♦

Watanabe's superior pair flopped a set on 8♠5♦4♣, but it also gave Martinez a straight draw. The K♦ turn and Q♥ river did not bring it in, however, and Watanabe survived the first all-in of the final three tables.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jon Ander Martinez	1,305,000 270,000	270,000
Hajime Watanabe	1,165,000 35,000	35,000
