Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Around 550,000 was in the middle on a flop of A♠9♦4♦ in a hand between Theodoros Ampelikiotis in middle position and Jakub Sterba in the big blind, with Sterba check-calling a bet of 150,000.

The same pattern followed on the 6♠ turn, this time in respect of a bet of 450,000.

The Q♠ river was checked through. Sterba showed K♦9♣ for a pair of nines, but his opponent had got there on the river with K♣Q♥, much to Sterba's chargrin.

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Action folded around to the blinds, where Luke Porter raised to 360,000 from the small blind. Maor Zaharagi shoved for 2,535,000 total from the big blind and Porter snap-called to put Zaharagi at risk.

Maor Zaharagi: A♦6♦ All in
Luke Porter: A♥Q♠

The 3♦7♠10♣ flop kept Zaharagi well behind but the 5♠ turn gave him outs to a gutshot in addition to his six.

The 4♠ river filled Zaharagi's straight draw and he was awarded the double up.

Konstantinos Nanos: A♣J♣

Luke Porter: A♦6♠ All in
Christoph Dufhaus: A♥A♠

It was the worst-possible scenario for Porter, and the 9♣3♠7♦9♥8♥ runout kept Dufahus best with his rockets for the elimination.

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Maor Zaharagi opened to 325,000 from the cutoff and Manuel Roca made it 1,000,000 to go from the small blind. Zaharagi responded with a shove and Roca called all in for 3,740,000 total.

Manuel Roca: A♥Q♣ All in
Maor Zaharagi: A♣K♦

Roca had one foot out the door with his dominated ace, but the A♠3♣Q♠ flop paired his queen to give him a commanding lead.

The 6♣ turn nor 10♠ river improved Zaharagi and Roca was awarded the double up.
