Frank Visser

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Dmitry Zakharov: A♣6♣ All in
Ivan Pavlov: A♦8♦

Pavlov had Zakharov drawing dead after the turn on the J♥5♣3♥8♥K♦ runout. Zakharov said his goodbyes and left to collect his payout.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Bogdan Ionescu had checked from the small blind on a turn of 5♥5♣3♠4♦. With 130,000 in the pot, big blind Bobby James jammed all in, covering the 110,000 Ionescu had behind.

Ionescu thought for a while until the clock was called. Midway through his remaining 30 seconds, he put in a call for his tournament life.

Bogdan Ionescu: A♥K♥ All in
Bobby James: Q♦5♠

Ionescu needed a deuce to survive, and the 10♣ river did not bring one. James' trips held as Ionescu departed and the table was broken.

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

Gonzalo Leal raised to 25,000 under the gun. Mathias Moutaoukil then three-bet jammed for 170,000 and Valeriy Fokin called for 110,000.

Gediminas Uselis sat on the button and four-bet all-in himself, forcing out Leal and putting the other opponents at risk.

Valeriy Fokin: A♥Q♥ All in
Mathias Moutaoukil: J♥J♣ All in
Gediminas Uselis: A♦K♣

Moutaoukil shot ahead on the Q♣7♣J♦ flop, giving him a set. The 10♦ turn gave Uselis a straight as he looked to score a double knock-out.

The K♥ river gave Fokin the same straight, however, and the pot was split between him and Uselis. Moutaoukil was left with nothing and left the tournament.

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

Vladimir Malyarchuk moved all in from under the gun for his last 117,000. Kemal Sonmez, in the big blind, called off the bet for his effective stack.

Kemal Sonmez: K♣J♣ All in
Vladimir Malyarchuk: 10♣10♥

This flip fell firmly in the favour of Malyarchuk on the A♠4♠10♠ flop, giving him a set. The 5♥ turn and K♠ river could change nothing and Sonmez was sent to the rail.

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

Levente Szabo had made a raise to 24,000 in the cutoff when Grzegorz Popiolek three-bet all in for 190,000 in the big blind.

Szabo aksed for a count and made the call shortly thereafter.

Grzegorz Popiolek: A♥8♣ All in
Levente Szabo: A♣10♦

Popiolek was behind but took a big lead on the 3♣A♠8♥ flop. His two pair remained best on the 6♠ turn, but Szabo secured the pot on the 10♣ river, giving him a higher two pair and eliminating Popiolek.

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

Fintan Hand raised to 25,000 from the hijack and was called by Arsenii Karmatckii in the big blind. Karmarckii check-called Hand's continuation-bet of 15,000 on the 8♥7♥A♥ flop before the 10♥ turn went check-check.

Karmatckii then bet the minimum of 12,000 on the 7♠ river. Hand piled in a stack of T-25,000 chips to put Karmatckii all-in for 68,000.

Karmatckii spent some time mulling it over. Eventually, he called off. Hand showed K♠Q♥ for the second nut flush, leaving Karmatckii's 6♥5♦ second-best, resulting in his elimination.

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

Eugene Katchalov raised to 24,000 from the hijack and Romain Retiere defended in the big blind.

The J♦9♠6♣ flop saw Retiere check-call a bet of 16,000 from Katchalov.

The 7♥ turn saw Retiere play in flow. Katchalov moved all in and was met with a snap-call.

Eugene Katchalov: A♠A♣ All in
Romain Retiere: J♣9♥

Katchalov was behind the flopped two pair of Retiere. The J♠ river improved Retiere to a full house to send Katchalov to the rail.

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

Halil Zurnaci got his last 80,000 into the middle preflop just after the break with Jorge Ufano making the call to try and bust him.

Halil Zurnaci: K♦10♠ All in
Jorge Ufano: A♦K♥

Zurnaci needed to find a ten if he was to beat the Big Slick of Ufano. The board ran out J♦4♦8♣8♦Q♦, which didn't help Zurnaci and he was sent to the cashier's desk.
