Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Harald Sammer raised to 1,600 in early position. His neighbor Ruslan Zainullin threw in a three-bet to 4,200, which Sammer called once it had folded around to him.

Sammer check-called a bet of 3,500 from Zainullin on the 4♠A♦K♣ flop before both checked the 4♣ turn.

Sammer took the initiative on the 8♦ river, betting 4,500. Zainullin called quickly but mucked his cards when Sammer tabled A♥10♥ for two pair, aces and fours.

At another table, Artur Martirosian sat down for his first bullet in the Main Event.

Tomas Vaskunas opened the action with a raise from middle position, and Yesset Aimukhanov, sitting in the hijack, responded by going all in. Mihai Niste followed suit from the button, pushing his entire stack forward as well. But the excitement didn’t stop there—Viktors Vorobjovs in the small blind took some time before also committing his chips. When the action circled back to Vaskunas, he made the call, setting up a massive four-way all-in showdown.

Yesset Aimukhanov: 10♦10♥All in
Tomas Vaskunas: K♠K♣All in
Viktors Vorobjovs: Q♥Q♦All in
Mihai Niste: J♠J♦

The kings were in the lead, but that changed on the turn when the board ran out 6♥6♦7♦J♥, giving Niste a full house, jacks over sixes.

However, with one card to come, the dealer revealed the K♥ on the river, flipping the script once again as Vaskunas hit a full house, kings over sixes.

Vaskunas covered Aimukhanov and scooped 28,000 in chips from both Niste and Vorobjovs. Niste had more chips than Vorobjovs, so he took the side pot. Two eliminations resulted, while Vaskunas nearly quadrupled his stack.

Nick Palma, in the hijack, and Marquez folded and the 6♥ hit the turn. Baran-Osinski quickly jammed all in, covering Coelho's stack of 24,000.

Coelho folded his cards, leaving him with just over 30 big blinds.

Lily Kiletto opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 2,000 and picked up three callers. When the action reached Nikolaos Oikonomou in the small blind, he shoved all in for his remaining 29,300.

Nikolaos Oikonomou: K♠J♠All in
Lily Kiletto: 8♠8♦
