Mathias Siljander: K♣J♦ All in
Cesar Perez: 10♦10♥

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

After a player in early position opened, Michel Karim three-bet to 260,000 from middle position. Next to act, Alejandro Lococo cold four-bet to 475,000, and Karim put in the call.

On the 9♠6♣5♣ flop, Karim checked to Lococo who jammed for 505,000 effective and Karim snapped it off.

Michel Karim: 10♠10♦ All in
Alejandro Lococo: Q♠Q♣

Lococo was in great shape to score a knockout and it stayed that way on the 8♥3♥ runout as Lococo has continued to build a large stack and get in the action.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Gianluca Cabitza moved all in for 360,000 from early position and Kacper Pyzara called in the cutoff. In the small blind, Alejandro Lococo raised to 860,000. After it folded back to Pyzara, he opted to jam for around 2,900,000. Lococo covered Pyzara slightly and was put into a brutal spot as he contemplated his decision for several minutes.

Eventually, Lococo found the fold as he pleaded, "Please show me aces," to Pyzara. Lococo later said that he folded queens.

Gianluca Cabitza: A♠3♥ All in
Kacper Pyzara: A♥A♣

Pyzara did indeed have aces to the great relief of Lococo. The board ran out 8♠7♣5♦10♣3♦ as Cabitza hit the rail and Lococo avoided disaster, all the while Pyzara has continued to build a stack.

Kacper Pyzara	4,200,000 3,100,000	3,100,000
Alejandro Lococo	3,500,000

Per Halmrast: Q♦9♣ All in
Anthony Apicella: 9♠9♥

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Santiago Nadal raised to 60,000 in middle position before Tobias Kirby-Hogarty moved all in for 575,000 on the button. Ren Lin called in the small blind and Nadal then reshoved for 2,130,000. "Very bad hand," Lin said as he took more than a minute, eventually laying down two nines.

"Show me kings," Kirby-Hogarty told Nadal as they went to turn over their cards.

Tobias Kirby-Hogarty: A♠5♠ All in
Santiago Nadal: Q♣Q♠

Kirby-Hogarty was looking for an ace to triple up, but Nadal's queens held up through the 7♦5♣4♥10♦2♣ board as he took down the massive pot to send Kirby-Hogarty to the rail.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Peter Farkas opened to 60,000 from middle position and then called when Hugo Gotuzzo three-bet to 225,000 from the cutoff.

On the 10♣9♥4♦ flop, Farkas checked to Gotuzzo who continued for 150,000. Instantly, Farkas responded with an all-in raise for exactly 750,000, which sent Gotuzzo deep into the tank.

After over four minutes of thinking, Gotuzzo made the call to put Farkas at risk.

Peter Farkas: Q♣J♣ All in
Hugo Gotuzzo: A♣Q♦

Gotuzzo found the correct call with just ace-queen-high against the open-ender of Farkas. The board ran out 4♥7♦ and Farkas did not make his straight as he hit the rail.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Svajunas Seduikis open-jammed a short stack from the button and Van Tran raised in the small blind to send Pascal Ridet into the tank in the big blind. Tran called the clock and Ridet called off for around 230,000.

Svajunas Seduikis: K♥Q♦ All in
Pascal Ridet: A♣K♣ All in
Van Tran: A♦Q♥

Ridet had Tran dominated, who in turn had Seduikis dominated. Nothing changed on the runout of 3♣2♥7♦3♥10♠ for Ridet to secure a near triple-up as Seduikis was sent to the rail.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Helge Pedersen opened to 60,000 from middle position and just behind him, Federico Macori shoved for his last 400,000. Action folded back around to Pedersen, who quickly called to put Macori at risk.

Federico Macori: Q♦Q♥ All in
Helge Pedersen: A♦K♣

The A♥J♦9♣ flop vaulted Pedersen into the lead with a pair of aces and the 2♦7♣ turn and river changed nothing — awarding the rest of Macori's chips to Pedersen.

Helge Pedersen	1,350,000 1,100,000	1,100,000
