On the 743 flop, Madanzhiev continued with a bet of 350,000, but quickly folded when Malec clicked it back with a raise to 700,000.

Steve O'Dwyer Eliminated in 9th Place ($92,400)

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Steve O'Dwyer
Steve O'Dwyer

Steve O'Dwyer raised to 500,000 from middle position with roughly 150,000 behind. When it folded to Ryan Mandara on the button, he shoved for around 1,600,000. After the blinds folded, O'Dwyer called to put himself at risk.

Steve O'Dwyer: 66 All in
Ryan Mandara : 88

O'Dwyer's pair was dominated by Mandara, so he needed some help from the dealer to survive. The 7KQ flop gave O'Dwyer a flush draw, but the 5 turn and J river didn't give him any assistance, and he was the first player eliminated at the final table.

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Stoyan Madanzhiev has been very active as of late and just raised the button to 160,000, and Jelle Moene called from the big blind.

They went to a flop of Q9K where Moene checked, and Madanzhiev fired a continuation-bet of 100,000.

On the 6 turn, Moene checked it over to Madanzhiev, who then fired a bigger bet of 425,000. Moene quickly folded.

Mandara Pips Astedt

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ryan Mandara opened to 160,000 from early position and Niklas Astedt called out of the big blind.

They went to a flop of Q6A where Astedt check-called a bet of 115,000 from Mandara to see the 2 drop on the turn. Astedt went into check-call mode again when Mandara fired 460,000.

The river brought a 7 and after Astedt checked, Mandara took his time before he knuckled back. Astedt confidently flipped A10 for top pair, but Mandara held AJ for top pair with a better kicker to take the pot.

Malec Forces Cazacu to Fold Top Pair

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Adrian Cazacu
Adrian Cazacu

Adrian Cazacu opened to 160,000 from the cutoff, and Sebastian Malec called in the small blind.

On the Q62 flop, Malec check-raised to 425,000 versus a bet of 175,000 from Cazacu, who called.

The 4 hit on the turn, and Malec continued with a bet of 425,000. After some thought, Cazacu called.

The 10 river completed the board, and Malec jammed with the covering stack. Cazacu was pained, and took three time banks before folding AQ for top pair queens, sending a chunky pot to Malec.
