Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Oleg Ustinovich opened the action from middle position with a raise to 800, drawing in three callers.
On the 3♠10♠9♣ flop, both blinds checked, leaving Ustinovich to fire out another bet of 1,100. Only Sanioglu, seated in the cutoff, stuck around with a call.
When the A♣ hit the turn, Ustinovich kept the pressure on with a bet of 5,000, but Sanioglu responded by shoving all in for 17,800. After taking a moment to check his cards, Ustinovich called.
Sanioglu revealed A♠K♣ for top pair, while Ustinovich showed J♣8♣, holding a straight and flush draw. However, the river 2♠ didn’t connect for Ustinovich, allowing Sanioglu to double up.

Adrian Cazacu opened to 800 from early position and Chris Dowling called on the button.
John Kelly was in the big blind, and he produced a three-bet to 3,500. Cazacu quickly got out of the way, but after asking to see his opponent's remaining stack, Dowling moved all in with the covering stack, receiving a snap-call from Kelly.
John Kelly: A♦A♥ 
Chris Dowling: A♠K♦
In a cooler, Dowling had run his big slick into Kelly's rockets, and no unlikely escape was provided by the J♦7♥8♦2♣Q♥ runout.
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Mark Helou opened to 1,000 on the button and Georgios Tsouloftas defended his big blind.
Tsouloftas check-called a 1,500 bet from Helou on the 5♥9♣9♦ flop and then both players checked on the 4♥ turn.
The 6♣ completed the board and Tsouloftas led out for 2,300. Helou responded with a raise to 5,000 and Tsouloftas made the call after a bit of thought.
"You win," Helou said as he tabled K♣J♠.
Tsouloftas turned over 8♥5♦ for nines and fives and collected the pot.

: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
The pot stood at around 3,000 with the board showing 9♦8♦6♦. Siarhei Chudapal, first to act, checked, prompting Pavel Popov to bet 1,000. Sven McDermott responded with a raise to 4,000, but Chudapal wasn’t done yet—he three-bet to 8,000, leaving McDermott as the only caller.
Both players checked when the A♣ hit on the turn.
As the J♠ appeared on the river, Chudapal led out with a bet of 8,200. After some thought, McDermott made the call. At showdown, Chudapal revealed A♦Q♦ for a flush, while McDermott’s cards found their way into the muck.
Curious, Chudapal asked, "Kings? You had kings?" to which McDermott simply nodded.

: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Ramon Colillas and Daan Mulders were heads-up on a board of Q♣6♦2♣9♠. Colillas checked from the small blind and Mulders bet 3,600.
Colillas then shoved for 19,300 — sending Mulders deep into the tank.
"I don't know what to do," Mulders said.
After several minutes, Mulders stuck in a single chip to indicate a call to put Colillas at risk.
Ramon Colillas: K♦Q♥
Daan Mulders: Q♦10♦
Colillas had Mulders' queen dominated, and the 9♥ river changed nothing to award Colillas the double up.
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Sergey Fedyaev was all-in for 10,300 and at risk versus Arian Hassankashani.
Sergey Fedyaev: A♠K♦
Arian Hassankashani: J♣J♠
Fedyaev was behind in a flip, and no help arrived on the Q♠8♠5♦7♥5♠ runout, Hassankashani taking the pot with two pair, jacks and fives.
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
PokerNews jumped into the action with about 6,000 in the pot and the board showing 5♦Q♠3♥K♣9♦.
Darius Neagoe was in the big blind position, while Nemanja Lukovic sat on the button. Lukovic had already put in a bet of 3,000, and now it was Neagoe's turn to act. He went all in, putting the pressure on Lukovic, who had roughly 3,500 behind. After a moment of deliberation, Lukovic stood up, knowing this could be his last hand, and made the call.
He revealed K♥10♠ for a pair of kings. But Neagoe had K♦5♠, giving him two pair, kings and fives. With that, Neagoe scooped the pot, eliminating Lukovic from the tournament.
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Dmitry Zakharov opened to 700 under the gun, and was met with a three-bet to 2,100 by Ran Azor in the big blind.
Zakaharov took some time to think before four-betting to 9,300, but Azor wasn't done there, and produced a five-bet jam for 31,500 total.
Zakaharov went deep into the tank, but after a few minutes open-folded A♣K♥. Azor showed him K♦K♠, and Zakharov tapped the table as his opponent raked in the pot.
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Paolo Gualano was already all-in and at risk for 21,600 against Aren Bezhanyan, who had Gualano covered on a 3♠J♣5♠ flop with several thousands already in the middle.
Paolo Gualano: A♠3♦
Aren Bezhanyan: Q♥Q♠
The 2♦ turn gave Gualano additional outs to a wheel, which came in on the 4♠ river to award Gualano the double up.
