Sven Andersson: Q♠J♠

The board ran out 5♠9♦Q♣6♣2♥. Andersson paired up his queen on the flop and held to win the pot, while Wiecek was eliminated from the tournament.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Two players were looking at a full board that read K♠10♣8♥4♦A♦.

Jerome Finck, in the big blind, checked the action to Armin Rezaei, in the cutoff. Rezaei moved all in for, what looked to be, 9,500 and Finck went into the tank, eventually making the call.

Armin Rezaei: J♦9♥
Jerome Finck: K♦5♦

Rezaei turned his busted open-ended straight draw into a bluff and was sent to the rail by Finck's pair of kings.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

From middle position, Vlada Stojanovic raised and then called the shove by Artiom Lugovscoi for what appeared to be around 6,000.

Artiom Lugovscoi: A♦10♦
Vlada Stojanovic: J♥J♠

The Q♥10♠9♦ flop gave Lugovscoi a pair and the 8♦ turn added the diamond draw on top, which he now needed as Stojanovic had a straight. Nothing changed with the 6♥ river and Lugovscoi was sent to the rail.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

In a duel button versus big blind, Evgeniy Golenko got his shorter stack into the middle with the A♥Q♦ on a 8♦5♦4♦ flop. Maksim Shornikau was in no mood of folding the A♣K♦ and his kicker played once the 5♥ turn and 5♠ river completed the board.

Wiecek Sends Gabrysch to Reenter

Dan O'Hair

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Piotr Wiecek had already opened from early position and Salih Gabrysch shoved for his last 7,000 from the small blind. Action folded back to Wiecek, who called to put Gabrysch at risk.

Salih Gabrysch: A♦3♦
Piotr Wiecek: A♠Q♠

Gabrysch found himself dominated and in need of help, but the 4♥Q♥Q♣4♣2♠ runout needlessly improved Wiecek to a full house and Gabrysch was eliminated.

Gabrysch reentered shortly after busting.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Jakub Michalak raised for Luca Moschitta to call and Razvan Popa then three-bet to 2,400, earning calls from both Michalak and Moschitta. On a flop of 8♥6♥2♥, the action checked to Popa and he bet 3,000. Michalak folded and Moschitta check-raised to 7,100 for Popa to quickly call.

That led them to the 3♥ turn on which Moschitta check-jammed for 11,000 and Popa called, having bet 5,500.

Luca Moschitta: K♥9♥
Razvan Popa: 10♥10♦

The river was an insignificant 8♣ and Moschitta doubled.

One hand later, Popa opened and Francois Vincenti three-bet to 3,500 off a shorter stack. Popa four-bet to 8,000 and called Vincenti's shove.

Francois Vincenti: J♣J♠
Razvan Popa: K♠K♥

The A♦9♥8♣2♣10♠ board brought no help and Vincenti departed right before the break.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Cedric Ghanassia opened the action with a raise to 1,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Sajad Abud in the small blind. He jammed for his last 7,500 and Ghanassia asked for a count, then called after about thirty seconds.

Sajad Abud: J♣10♣
Cedric Ghanassia: Q♠J♠

Thanks to a board of A♦A♠K♥A♣6♥, the queen played to knock out Abud.
