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

Alan Ferraro opened to 20,000 under the gun and received a call from Mathieu Goncalves in middle position. Lukas Hafner was on the button, and he produced a three-bet to 70,000. Only Goncalves called.

On the Q♥8♥8♠ flop, Goncalves led out with a bet of 39,000. After some thought, Hafner called.

The K♣ rolled off on the turn, and Goncalves fired out a bet of 65,000. After a period of deliberation, Hafner moved all in for 200,000. Goncalves took a minute or two to think before making the call.

Lukas Hafner: 9♦9♠ All in
Mathieu Goncalves: K♦J♦

Hafner had turned his third pair nines into a bluff, and needed to spike a nine on the river versus Goncalves' top pair kings, but it didn't come on the 7♦ river. Hafner departed the tournament area, while Goncalves celebrated taking down the big pot enthusiastically.

Mathieu Goncalves	895,000 826,000	826,000

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Daniel Rezaei raised from under the gun and Metin Yalciner shoved from the next seat for around 50,000. Kimmo Kurko then reshoved from the cutoff for around 140,000, and Rezaei called when it got back to him.

Metin Yalciner: 2♣2♥ All in
Kimmo Kurko: A♠Q♦ All in
Daniel Rezaei: K♦K♠

Rezaei was in the driving seat to eliminate two players but Kurko paired his ace on the 8♣6♠A♦ flop to take the lead. A 7♠ on the turn changed nothing and neither did the 10♦ river which meant Yalciner was eliminated, and Kurko took both the side & main pots.

Player	Chips	Progress
Kimmo Kurko	330,000 133,000	133,000
Daniel Rezaei	190,000 77,000	77,000

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Alfie Usher moved his last 11,000 in blind under the gun. and was called by Jonas Stechbarth, Sokratis Linaras, and Guy Holtzman, while Salvatore Camarda and Martin Stausholm also came along for the ride in the blinds. Usher wasn't sure whether to be pleased or not with the action he received.

On the J♥J♠3♠ flop, Stechbarth led out with a bet of 21,000, only to be met with a raise to 65,000 by Linaras. That forced out the other opponents, with action folded back to Stechbarth. After some thought, he sighed and folded.

Alfie Usher: K♥7♣ All in
Sokratis Linaras: J♣9♣

Usher was drawing dead versus Linaras's trip jacks, and the 3♦4♥ turn and river completed the board.

Kai Cocklin

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Thomas Lilamand raised from under the gun to 16,000 and Remy Murcia called from the next seat. Darren Rabinowitz then shoved for around 150,000, which got Lilamand to fold and Murcia called.

Darren Rabinowitz: A♣Q♦ All in
Remy Murcia: A♦K♦

Rabinowitz took the lead on the 4♥2♠Q♠ flop after he paired his queen, which left Murcia needing to connect with one of the three remaining kings. A 4♠ turn was a brick and left Rabinowitz just one card away from a double-up, but he couldn't hold onto his lead as the K♠ river improved Murcia to a pair of kings.
