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

With around 120,000 chips already in the middle on a board of 3♣7♣A♣8♦, Paulo Barbosa had bet 62,000 on the turn and Sorin Ionut Morariu called.

A 3♥ landed on the river and Barbosa shoved, which more than covered the stack of Morariu who had around 165,000 chips remaining.

"Maybe the river saved me," remarked Morariu.

Morariu apologized to the table for taking so long and insisted somebody could call the clock if they wanted.

"How many beers did you drink tonight?" asked Morariu to Barbosa.

Eventually Morariu decided to fold and Barbosa let him choose a card to see, and revealed the 4♣.

Morariu then revealed he had folded a flush with 6♣5♣.

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

Alexandre Gomes opened to 25,000 from the button and [Removed:553] defended from the big blind.

Both players checked the Q♣Q♠8♥ flop leading to the 4♠ turn. Simon bet 45,000 and Gomes called.

On the 7♦ river Simon moved all in, covering Gomes who had roughly 125,000 behind. Gomes made the call.

Simon could only show J♦9♣ for a missed gutshot turned into a bluff. Gomes showed down 10♦10♣ for two pair, queens and tens to score a full double up on the soft bubble.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Matteo Orchide shoved around 120,000 from the hijack and Samy Boujmala called.

Matteo Orchide: 4♣4♥ All in
Samy Boujmala: A♠K♦

It was a fair fight that looked to be going Orchide's way until the river improved Boujmala to Broadway on the Q♣10♥2♠5♠J♠ runout, which meant Orchide was eliminated on the bubble.

Elsewhere, two more players are all-in and at risk.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Dominguez Alvarez opened from the button, Darko Percic shoved for 103,000 from the small blind and Alvarez called with a covering stack to put Percic at risk.

Darko Percic: A♣7♣ All in
Ismael Dominguez: K♦10♦

The board ran out 4♦6♦9♣2♦2♣. Dominguez was good at showdown with a king-high flush to send Percic to the rail and take the pot.

Meanwhile at another table, Michele Rinaldi was all in on a board reading [QJsTc] from the cutoff and up against Hakan Yalcin who covered him in the small blind.

Michele Rinaldi: K♦K♥ All in
Hakan Yalcin: Q♠10♠

Rinaldi's kings had been cracked by Yalcin who had flopped two pair and he found no help when the rest of the board ran out 3♥8♥. Yalcin made his exit from the tournament area as the third player to bust on the Day 1h stone bubble while Yalcin claimed the last of his chips.
