The K♣ appeared on the turn, and Mertengren checked. Hajdari chose to make a smaller bet of 3,000, which Mertengren called.

The 9♣ completed the board. After Mertengren checked, Hajdari pushed all his chips into the middle and Mertengren quickly folded.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Marcin Puczylowski and Martin Kabrhel were heads up on board of 4♥Q♠10♥2♠ with approximately 20,000 already in the middle.

Puczylowski bet 12,000 from the small blind and Kabrhel called from early position.

The 9♦ completed the board and Puczylowski checked, prompting a 16,500 bet from Kabrhel that put Puczylowski deep into the tank.

Kabrhel eventually called the clock on Puczylowski, who mucked just as the floorman was about to count his hand dead.

"I had king-jack," Kabrhel said as he collected the pot. "Very good fold."

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The cards were already tabled on Table 13.

Maciej Gut: A♥10♠ All in
Konstantinos Nanos: 7♠7♦

Gut needed to win this flip to stay in the tournament. The K♥9♣3♠ flop offered no help, and the 7♥ on the turn sealed his fate, leaving him drawing dead. The J♠ on the river was inconsequential as Nanos claimed the pot and sent Gut to the rail.

Bin Puts His Opponent in the Bin

Barry Russell

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

There were around 7,500 chips in the middle on 10♦10♥7♥3♣ when Yuan Bin bet from the small blind for 4,000 which was called by Fabrice Bigot in the big blind.

The action did not slow down when the 3♠ fell on the river and Bin fired out another bet of 7,000. Bigot, after a short while, raised to 22,000, but to his surprise, was met by a quick shove from Bin for 33,000.

Bigot was clearly confused as he attempted to deconstruct the hand out loud. Around two or three minutes went by before he folded.
