Aram Sargsyan raised to 65,000 under the gun before Boris Angelov three-bet to 450,000 in the small blind, leaving 105,000 behind. Sargsyan then moved all in.

Boris Angelov: A♠Q♦ All in
Aram Sargsyan: 10♦10♥

"I think it's good juju when you don't waste time," Angelov said heading to the 7♥J♣4♣ flop. The turn was the Q♠ and Angelov was rewarded with a pair of queens. The 2♥ completed the board on the river and Angelov doubled up.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

A few hands after doubling up Boris Angelov, Aram Sargsyan moved all in for 370,000 on the button and Jozef Cibicek called in the big blind.

Aram Sargsyan: 10♠7♠ All in
Jozef Cibicek: A♣J♥

The flop came 5♦J♣5♠ to give Cibicek two pair, while the 3♥ turn left Sargsyan already drawing dead. The Q♠ river was a mere formality as Sargsyan headed to the exit in 21st place.

"I almost folded my hand against him," Cibicek said.

"I was surprised that he showed that. I thought tens, ace-king," Rania Nasreddine added.

"You would fold?" Cibicek asked her.

"But I'm a bad player," Nasreddine replied.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Vladimir Troyanovskiy raised to 60,000 in the cutoff and Philipp Wenzelburger and Danilo Velasevic called in the blinds.

Troyanovskiy bet 100,000 on the 7♠10♦7♥ flop and Wenzelburger raised to 200,000. Velasevic folded, while Troyanovskiy called.

The turn was the 6♦ and Wenzelburger checked to Troyanovskiy who bet 150,000. Wenzelburger called to the J♣ river, where he quickly check-folded to another bet of 350,000.

The next hand, Francisco Benitez raised to 60,000 in middle position and Wenzelburger called on the button, as did big blind Derk van Luijk.

The flop came 6♥2♦4♠ and Benitez bet 75,000. Wenzelburger called and Van Luijk folded.

The turn was the 3♥ and Benitez bet 130,000. Wenzelburger announced a raise and Benitez snap-folded before even waiting for the amount.

Matt Warburton

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Philipp Wenzelburger raised to 80,000 from middle position and Francisco Benitez moved all in from the big blind for 255,000. Wenzelburger snap-called as the chip leader and players revealed their cards.

Francisco Benitez: A♥Q♠ All in
Philipp Wenzelburger: J♦J♠

The flop ran out 9♥8♣10♦. Benitez shouted out for the "jack" and then the turn came the J♥ to give him the straight. Wenzelburger made a set and was drawing to a full house. Benitez shouted out again, this time for the "two," then the river came the 2♦.

The confrontation left little dent in Wenzelburger's stack, but provided a crucial double up for Benitez.
