Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Kirill Shcherbakov limped in from the cutoff and Arian Hassankashani raised to 56,000 in the small blind. Shcherbakov then moved all in for 273,000 and Hassankashani called.
Kirill Shcherbakov: Q♦10♦ 
Arian Hassankashani: A♥K♦
The 10♠6♣6♥ flop gave Shcherbakov the lead with two pair, while the rest of the 9♥Q♣ board missed Hassankashani as Shcherbakov finished with queens and tens to double up.

: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Dick Postel raised to 25,000 on the button and Bobby James called in the big blind.
The flop came 9♥8♣4♦ and Postel continued for 25,000. James then raised to 76,000, Postel reraised to 150,000, and James called.
Both players checked the 5♦ turn and the 3♦ fell on the river. James then moved all in and Postel, with around 410,000 remaining, folded.
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Zhewen Hu and Timo Kamphues went heads up to a flop of 5♦3♦7♥ where Kamphues bet 55,000 from middle position. Hu then raised to 145,000 in early position, Kamphues moved all in for 310,000, and Hu snap-called.
Timo Kamphues: A♥A♠
Zhewen Hu: 9♠9♥
Kamphues found himself far in front with his aces as the board ran out Q♠7♣, earning him a late-night double up and knocking Hu back down to a short stack.
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Ranno Sootla opened to 24,000 in early position and received calls from Adrien Quetelart on the button, and Ivan Zabiiakin and Anton Kraous in the blinds.
On the K♦J♠9♦ flop, action was checked to Sootla, who continued with a bet of 27,000, which only Kraous called.
On the 3♠ turn, Kraous check-jammed for 272,000 over a bet of 95,000 from Sootla. Sootla didn't like it, and burned through all of his remaining three time banks, before making the call.
Anton Kraous: Q♠10♦
Ranno Sootla: A♥K♥
Kraous had Sootla drawing dead, having flopped the king-high nut straight, and the 4♠ river completed the board.
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
On a board of 4♠9♥10♦6♠, Deniz Dogan got the last of his chips in the middle with Taago Tamm looking to thin down the field.
Deniz Dogan: Q♦Q♠
Taago Tamm: 9♣8♦
Dogan had the best of it right now, but Tamm had his fair share of outs as any seven. eight, or nine would see the Estonian scoop the pot and eliminate Dogan. Instead, the 3♥ dropped on the river and Dogan screamed "Yesss!" as he scooped in the pot worth around 300,000.
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Lucien Cohen moved all in for 180,000 in the cutoff and Zhewen Hu called in the big blind.
Lucien Cohen: A♣Q♠
Zhewen Hu: K♣K♥
Hu had woken up with kings to leave Cohen at risk of elimination. "Ace," Cohen yelled out heading to the flop, which came Q♣J♦7♦. "Ace or queen," he shouted, and he got his wish when the A♠ fell on the turn to give him two pair.
"King," Hu cried as he pleaded for help. The dealer obliged by turning over the K♠ on the river to give him a set and send the Ratman to the rail.
"Bravo, my friend. It's good," Cohen, in the gentlest voice he's had so far this level, told Hu as he reached across the table to shake his opponent's hand before heading for the exit.
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Timo Kamphues raised from the hijack to 25,000 and Lucien Cohen again shoved for 86,000 from the small blind. When it got back to Kamphues, he called.
Lucien Cohen: 9♥9♣
Timo Kamphues: A♠J♠
Cohen found himself in another all-in situation, and he managed to survive again as the 4♥6♦10♥5♦2♠ runout kept his pocket nines in the lead.
The only thing different about this Cohen victory was the celebration, as his famous "ratman" quote wasn't used; instead he opted for a more French approach.
"Allez! Alllleezzzzzzzzz!" shouted Cohen.
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Sebastian Malec kicked off the action from the cutoff with a raise to 24,000, only to be three-bet to 70,000 by Fahredin Mustafov on the button. Malec responded by shoving for around 400,000, and Mustafov snap-called, bringing the two to a showdown.
Sebastian Malec: Q♥J♠
Fahredin Mustafov: 10♠10♦
Malec needed help from the board, but it ran out K♥5♥2♣8♦7♥, offering no improvement. Malec was sent to the rail, while Mustafov continued to build his already solid stack.
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Ivan Zabiiakin raised to 24,000 in early position and Nicola Cappellesso called in the big blind.
The flop came 10♣8♠4♥ and Zabiiakin bet 30,000. Cappellesso called and the 9♣ turn was checked through to the Q♥ river.
Zabiiakin then bet 80,000 and Cappellesso snap-called, only for Zabiiakin to show A♣J♣ for a straight to win the pot.
A few hands earlier at this table, Nikita Kuznetsov got his short stack in with 6♣5♣ from the big blind on a board of 8♥7♠6♥J♣8♣, but Ranno Sootla in early position had A♠J♥ for top pair and Kuznetsov, who made the final table of this event last year, had his tournament come to an end short of replicating that run this year.
