Andras Nemeth
Andras Nemeth

Jon Kyte raised to 100,000 from the cutoff with roughly 90,000 behind. Andras Nemeth shoved from the button for 520,000 and Santhosh Suvarna called for his last 320,000 out of the small blind. Kyte agonized over the decision for around a minute before making the call.

Jon Kyte: 2♣2♠ All in
Santhosh Suvarna: 9♠9♣ All in
Andras Nemeth: A♣Q♦

If Nemeth could find an ace or a queen, he would send two players to the rail. The board ran out A♦K♦7♥7♦Q♠ to give Nemeth the best hand with two pair, aces and queens, and Kyte and Survarna were out.

Ihar Soika on the button got his stack of over 400,000 into the middle against Stoyan Madanzhiev, who was in the big blind with the covering stack.

Ihar Soika: A♥J♥ All in
Stoyan Madanzhiev: A♣Q♥

Soika had just doubled up, but couldn't hold onto his chips for long as the Q♣Q♠2♥6♠9♦ runout meant he was eliminated, and Madanzhiev closed in on a million chips.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Tom Middleton and Ihar Soika got their stacks into the middle of the table preflop, with the latter at risk for his stack of around 200,000.

Ihar Soika: J♥J♦ All in
Tom Middleton: 7♣7♠

Middleton needed to find a seven to eliminate Soika, but never managed to do so as the 10♦10♥3♦4♠A♠ runout kept the pocket jacks in the lead.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Yunsheng Sun raised to 25,000 on the button and Juan Carlos Vecino defended from the big blind.

Vecino check-called a bet of 25,000 from Sun on the 5♦J♥8♣ flop.

Both players checked the Q♦ turn for the 10♦ to come on the river. Vecino bet 75,000, and Sun snap-called.

Sun turned over A♦J♦ for the nuts and took down the pot, much to the bemusement of his tablemates.

Pascal Hartmann was seen raking in a huge pot at showdown, with Zhen Chen being the one who had to cough up the chips.

The full board of 7♣Q♠7♦10♣6♣ was already showing with all the chips in the middle of the table. Chen's A♠J♥ was no good against the A♥A♣ of Hartmann, which earned the German player a double-up.

The action was missed, but with roughly 200,000 in the pot on a board reading 9♠5♦2♠Q♠7♣, Aleksei Savenkov checked from the big blind and Diogo Coelho fired a bet of 200,000 into the middle. Savenkov thought it over for a while before eventually folding his cards and Coelho pulled in the pot.

Patrick Leonard

Patrick Leonard had opened from early position and called a three-bet from Sebastian Malec, who was in the blinds. They went to a flop of 8♥A♠K♣ where Malec had made a small continuation-bet, which Leonard called.

The turn brought a J♥ which went check-check to the 8♠ river, where Malec checked, and Leonard bet 164,000, leaving himself just a few thousand behind. Malec used some extra time and mulled it over for a while, before he eventually clicked the call button.

Leonard then confidently tabled Q♣10♣ for Broadway, and Malec mucked his cards.

Mehdi Chaoui

Mehdi Chaoui and Dmitrii Astratov were both all in with very similar chip stacks, but it was the former who was at risk as he had around 10,000 less.

Mehdi Chaoui: Q♥Q♠ All in
Dmitrii Astratov: A♣A♦

Chaoui looked to be heading to the exit, but spiked a queen on the river with the 7♥K♥J♣6♠Q♣ runout to earn himself a double up, which left Astratov with just 10,000 in his stack.

Jon Kyte

When it folded to Vladislav Dubanov in the small blind he shoved to put Jon Kyte all in out of the big blind. Kyte had roughly 120,000 remaining in his stack and made the call for his tournament life.

Jon Kyte: K♠3♠ All in
Vladislav Dubanov: J♥8♦

Kyte had made the correct call and would double up if the board ran out favorably for him.

The dealer put out a board of K♣5♥A♥2♦6♦to give Kyte the winner with a pair of kings on the flop, and he stayed alive in the tournament.
