Josip Vidovic: 10♥8♥ All in

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Simone Demasi opened to 1,300 first to act and just behind him, Uladzmir Zhyharau shoved for 15,400. Action folded around to Ali Ozcan in the small blind, who called to put Zhyharau at risk. Demasi got out of the way and hands were revealed.

Uladzmir Zhyharau: 9♣9♥ All in
Ali Ozcan: J♥J♣

Zhyharau was in rough shape against Ozcan's higher pair, and the 8♥10♣5♠10♦K♥ runout provided no help to eliminate Zhyharau.

Simone Demasi	83,000

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Nicolas Betbese and Gonzalo Almeida had seen a flop of 5♠4♦A♠ and got all the chips in the middle, which left the latter at risk for his stack of around 35,000.

Gonzalo Almeida: 4♥4♠ All in
Nicolas Betbese: A♣J♠

Betbese needed a lot of help and did pick up a flush draw with the 2♠ turn, however the Q♥ river was a brick, and Almeida doubled up.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Zachary Koenig raised to 2,000 from middle position, Konstantin Voronin called in the next seat across, and Ana Marquez called in the big blind.

The flop came 9♣3♥7♥ and Marquez checked. Koenig continued for 5,000, Voronin called, then Marquez moved all in for her remaining 7,500 chips, which the other two players called.

The turn was the 7♠ and Koenig moved all in. That forced Voronin out of the pot and left Koenig and Marquez to flip their cards. Marquez had A♥9♦ for two pair, nines with the sevens on board. Koenig flipped 10♣10♥ for a higher two pair with his pocket tens.

The river came the 8♦ and Koenig held to win the pot, sending Marquez to the rail.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

With almost 8,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 9♦A♥Q♥, Kemal Ilgar checked and Norbert Seefeldt fired 3,000. Michael Goossens folded, and Ilgar called.

When the 9♠ dropped on the turn, Ilgar again went into check-call mode as Seefeldt bet 6,500.

An 8♠ landed on the river and Ilgar checked for a third time, then was faced with a decision for all of his chips as Seefeldt shoved. Ilgar had around 17,000 remaining in his stack and after some time thinking, he elected to fold.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Georgios Vrakas opened to 1,600 from early position and was called by Bruno Sanzoni in the cutoff and Andrei Teodorescu on the button. Razvan Sabau then squeezed to 6,500 from the small blind with only Vrakas and Sanzoni calling for a bloated three-way pot.

Sabau continued for 6,500 on the 2♥J♥8♥ flop and only Vrakas called.

The 6♦ fell on the turn and Sabau announced he was all in for approximately 30,000. Vrakas quickly laid his hand down and Sabau dragged the large pot.
