Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Short-stack Sebastien Compte got his last 6,000 into the middle, and was looked up by Ivan Stankov.
Sebastien Compte: A♦8♣ 
Ivan Stankov: A♠10♣
Compte's ace was dominated, and although a chop seemed possible, he exited after the K♠5♠6♣K♥9♥ runout, Stankov's better kicker playing.
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Salvatore Camarda opened from under the gun to 4,000 and Georgios Skarparis called in the next seat. Aleksei Savenkov also called from the hijack.
The three saw a flop of Q♣10♣6♦ where Camarda and Skarparis checked, then Savenkov fired 6,500. Camarda and Skarparis both called.
All three checked the 9♠ turn to the 3♠ river where Camarda checked and Skarparis bet 27,000. Savenkov thought long and hard before he elected to fold, and Camarda's cards were all tossed into the muck.

Kirill Solovev checked from early position on a turn of K♦2♠5♥6♦. Jakub Michalak was in the next seat over and bet 13,000 into a pot of 35,000. Solovev raised to 43,000, which Michalak called.
The J♦ turn saw Solovev size down to 20,000. A snap-call by Michalak followed, after which Solovev immediately shook his head.
He tabled 3♠3♦ for an underpair, seeing the pot shipped to Michalak with his K♠Q♣ for top pair.

Around 50,000 was in the middle already on a board of 9♠3♠2♥J♣, in a hand between Mircea Flutur in the hijack and Yulian Bogdanov in the small blind.
Bogdanov checked, and Flutur moved all in with the covering stack. Bogdanov, who had around 48,000 behind, couldn't get his chips in quick enough.
Yulian Bogdanov: A♣J♥
Mircea Flutur: 5♥3♥
Bogdanov had turned top pair jacks versus Flutur's third pair, and the Q♣ river confirmed his double-up.

Raphael Blouet had shoved from under the gun for 17,500 and Timur Kurbanov called from the next seat. The action then folded around to Federico Macori in the big blind, who shoved for around 85,000. Kurbanov was in the tank for a while but ultimately decided to call off his remaining 55,000 that he had behind.
Raphael Blouet: 8♦8♣
Timur Kurbanov: 10♥10♦
Federico Macori: A♦K♥
Macori had a great spot to eliminate two players and picked up a few more outs on the J♥Q♠J♠ flop as another queen would counterfeit his opponent's pocket pairs. However, it was Blouet who shot into the lead on the 8♥ turn as he improved to a full house, which left Macori drawing dead for the main pot.
Kurbanov was still in the lead for the 110,000-chip side pot, and remained there when the 5♠ landed on the river, which meant he made a bit of profit on the hand. Blouet tripled up, and Macori was left very short with under 10,000 remaining in his stack.
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
The action was caught on a turn of J♣7♦5♠7♥. Adi Rajkovic in middle position checked to Marco Poccia in the cutoff. Poccia bet 15,500 into a pot of 45,000, which Rajkovic raised to 36,000.
Poccia tossed in a call and also called when Rajkovic shoved all in for 70,000 on the 5♣ river. Poccia only had 65,000 chips and was eliminated as Rajkovic had a full house with 8♣7♣.

At least 40,000 was in the middle, with the board reading J♦9♥3♣5♣, in a hand between Jiaming Zhao and Ivan Banic.
Zhao, who had around a pot-sized bet left behind, checked to Banic, who moved all in with the covering stack. Zhao took some time to think, and eventually the clock was called.
With the countdown on, suddenly Zhao made the call.
Jiaming Zhao: 4♠4♣
Ivan Banic: Q♠Q♦
Zhao had made the hero-call with fourth pair fours, but had found himself down to two outs versus Banic's overpair queens.
The J♣ river was not one of those outs, and he departed the tournament area. Banic meanwhile moves towards the 300,000 mark.
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Endrit Geci opened the action with a raise to 4,000 in the cutoff. Elias Gutierrez sat in the small blind and thought for a minute or so before committing his stack of 15,500.
Geci snap-called and the cards were tabled.
Elias Gutierrez: Q♦J♣
Endrit Geci: Q♠Q♥
Gutierrez was in bad shape but flopped some hope on 5♣K♦9♦. The 5♠ turn changed nothing, but Gutierrez's straight came in on the 10♦ river to double him up to slightly more than a starting stack.
Geci, meanwhile, was left with just 10,000, which he would lose not long after the completion of the hand.
