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

Henadzi Deilik had pushed all in from the hijack for 97,000. Rami Barham sat in the cutoff and tossed in his own stack of 100,000, after which the rest of the table folded.

Henadzi Deilik: A♦J♦ All in
Rami Barham: J♥J♣

Deilik needed an ace to stay in the tournament and he hit one on the final card of the hand as the 7♠6♥9♣3♥A♣ board was dealt.

Barham was left with just 3,000, which he lost to Toni Kaukua in the very next hand.

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

Omar Del Pino had opened from middle position and Kemal Aslan shoved from the cutoff for less than 20,000. Fabian Gumz then three-bet from the button to around 55,000, and Del Pino called.

On the 2♠6♦J♥ flop, Del Pino check-called a bet of 22,000 Gumz to the K♠ turn. Del Pino checked again, and Gumz fired 37,000, which got Del Pino to fold.

Kemal Aslan: K♦Q♣ All in
Fabian Gumz: A♣9♦

Gumz had already won the side pot by pushing Del Pino out, but couldn't claim the main pot as Aslan more than tripled up when the 3♣ river kept his pair of kings in the lead.

Omar Del Pino	320,000 75,000	75,000

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

Aleksandr Razinkov had raised to 16,000 in early position when Uladzimir Zhyharau three-bet to 58,000 on the button. The action folded back to Razinkov, who four-bet jammed, covering Zhyharau's stack of 510,000.

Zhyharau spent some minutes in the tank before sighing and slamming in a stack of chips for a call.

Uladzimir Zhyharau: A♠K♣ All in
Aleksandr Razinkov: K♠K♥

Either Razinkov or Zhyharau would end up as a chip millionaire after the hand, and when the board ran out 10♦8♦2♥6♦2♠, Razinkov's kings remained best to take the huge pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Aleksandr Razinkov	1,175,000 800,000	800,000

Andre Marquardt limped in for 8,000 from under the gun. Alik Zazian moved all in for 80,000 from middle position. Nikita Voznesenskiy called on the button.

Whilst Frank Reichel was contemplating his decision, Marquardt announced all in. He quickly realized he acted out of turn and apologised to Reichel and Voznesenskiy. Both Voznesenskiy and Reichel folded.

Alik Zazian: A♦4♦ All in
Andre Marquardt: A♥K♣

Marquardt's Big Slick held across the 3♣8♥10♥6♥7♠ runout to secure Zazian's stack.

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

Fadil Isufi opened to 20,000 from the cutoff, and received calls from Marle Spragg and Alessandro Siena in the blinds.

Action was checked to Isufi on the 10♦8♦7♥ flop, who fired out a bet of 45,000, which only Spragg called.

The A♣ turn slowed matters down and was checked through.

On the K♠ river, Spragg checked, and Isufi fired out a bet of 115,000, leading to a quick fold from Spragg.

Despite having to concede this hand, Spragg has had a great start to Day 2, moving towards a million from her 217,000 starting stack.

Marle Spragg	895,000 678,000	678,000

Roeland Peeks was already all-in for his last few big blinds and Andreas Mavrikiou had put in the call before Pedro Pereira Fonseca made it 42,000 from the cutoff. Mavrikiou folded.

Roeland Peeks: 7♦6♠ All in
Pedro Pereira Fonseca: A♥7♥

No help arrived for Peeks as the K♦Q♦8♣2♥2♠ runout sent him to the rail.

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

Semen Kravets opened from early position to 16,000. Action folded around to [Removed:499] who called in the big blind.

He check-called a bet of 16,000 on the flop of 10♦J♦10♥ before check-raising the 9♣ turn. Kravets had bet 16,000 again before Slobodskoy made it 69,000. Kravets called.

Slobodskoy went into the tank on the Q♥ river before checking. Kravets checked back. Slobodskoy showed 7♦2♠ and Kravets took a moment to reveal his hand. He showed A♠J♥ and took in the pot.
