The action was missed but with around 40,000 in the middle on a board that read 6♠4♥10♣5♥9♦, Zhen Chen bet 14,000 from the big blind and [Removed:554] raised to 62,500 from under the gun. Chen burned through three of his time-bank cards before he reluctantly folded and forfeited the pot to [Removed:555].

Oleg Semionov: A♠6♣ All in
Dmitrii Astratov: 7♥7♠

Semionov didn't find any help on the runout of Q♠3♦8♦K♠10♠, which meant he hit the rail, and Astratov boosted his stack to around 130,000.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Aylar Lie had raised from the cutoff when Jinlong Hu three-bet his big blind to 25,000. Lie flat-called to the 3♣6♠6♥ flop, where she called Hu's continuation-bet of 15,000.

Hu slowed down on the J♦ turn and checked, after which he called Lie's bet of 45,000. The pair then checked through the 9♦ river. Hu revealed A♦K♠ for ace-high while Lie took the pot with her Q♥Q♣ for an overpair

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Ray Qartomy opened to 7,500 from middle position, and Nemanja Lukovic defended in the big blind.

On the 10♣8♥4♥ flop, Lukovic check-called versus a bet of 7,500 from Qartomy.

The J♠ turn was checked through. On the 5♦ river, Lukovic led out with a bet of 35,000, and after a short period of deliberation, Qartomy made the call.

Lukovic tabled 7♥6♣ for the rivered eight-high straight, and Qartomy mucked. "What were you going to do if it wasn't the perfect river?", Qartomy asked his opponent, clearly a bit miffed with the outcome of the hand.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ray Qartomy	330,000 85,000	85,000
Nemanja Lukovic	195,000 122,000	122,000

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Satish Sanan opened from early position and Alexandre Reard three-bet the cutoff to 16,000. Simon Mattsson then shoved for just under 50,000 from the small blind. Sanan folded, and Reard called.

Simon Mattsson: K♥K♦ All in
Alexandre Reard: K♣Q♥

Mattsson was a huge favorite to double up and it looked almost certain he would after the 8♠6♦4♣ flop. The 5♥ turn did bring around some chop outs, and the 7♥ river was one of them as there was a straight on board, which meant they chopped the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Fabian Niederreiter	180,000 30,000	30,000
Alexandre Reard	150,000 37,000	37,000
Satish Sanan	85,000 35,000	35,000

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Michael Dwyer was all-in for his last 40,000 with Leo Worthington-Leese being the player to make the call to try and bust him.

Michael Dwyer: A♠8♥ All in
Leo Worthington-Leese: K♣Q♣

The dealer fanned out the flop of A♣J♦10♣ which gave Worthington-Leese the nuts and left Dwyer needing running cards to survive. The rest of the board ran out 9♣10♠ and Dwyer was out of the tournament.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Action folded to Ivan Stankov on the button, who moved all in for 28,000. Nazar Buhaiov was in the small blind, and he asked for a count before making the call.

Ivan Stankov: A♠5♠ All in
Nazar Buhaiov: A♣9♠

Stankov's ace was dominated, but he went ahead after the K♥5♣3♦ flop gave him a pair of fives, a position that was not altered by the Q♥4♦ turn and river.

Player	Chips	Progress
Nazar Buhaiov	187,000 73,000	73,000
Ivan Stankov	57,000 37,000	37,000
