Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

With around 50,000 in the pot and the board showing K♥9♣3♦7♣10♠, three players remained in contention.

Henri Antikainen, seated in the big blind, checked to Igor Yaroshevskyy, who was under the gun. After a brief moment of thought, Yaroshevskyy made a sizeable bet of 57,500. Mario Colavita, in middle position, went into the tank, deliberating for some time before ultimately folding.

Antikainen, however, quickly made the call, leading to a showdown. Yaroshevskyy revealed Q♦J♥, completing a straight on the river. Antikainen, clearly surprised, mucked his hand as the pot was sent Yaroshevskyy's way, adding a significant chunk to his stack.

Igor Yaroshevskyy	238,000 149,000	149,000

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Sam Grafton opened to 6,000 from the cutoff and Thomas Swensen shoved his short stack into the middle from the big blind. Grafton quickly called and a showdown was held.

Thomas Swensen: A♠J♣ All in
Sam Grafton: K♠K♦

Swensen needed some help to keep his Main Event run alive, but the 8♥K♥K♣ flop immediately left Swensen drawing dead after upgrading Grafton to quad kings.

The 6♠ turn and 4♣ river made the elimination official and Grafton was sent the rest of Swensen's chips.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Tjenno Eskes raised to 5,000 and was three-bet by Yauheni Tsiareshchanka to 18,500. Gianfranco Iaculli then cold four-bet to 43,500 and action was back on Eskes.

"Eighty-" started Eskes, and that was enough for Tsiareshchanka and Iaculli to fold before Eskes could even complete the bet sizing.

"Lucky," said Iaculli.

"You didn't even see my hand!" replied Eskes jokingly. "Maybe I'm just very, very good?"

Luka Bojovic raised to 5,000 from under the gun with only Clement Gouges calling from the cutoff.

Bojovic check-called a bet of 8,000 from Gouges on the J♥6♠9♣ flop.

The A♥ turn checked through for the 7♦ to fall on the river. Bojovic led out for 45,000 and Gouges made the call.

Bojovic flipped up a flopped set of jacks holding J♣J♠, which was good as Gouges mucked his hand.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Claudio Di Giacomo raised to 5,000 from under the gun and Umberto Ruggeri three-bet to 18,000 from the next position.

It folded back to Di Giacomo who four-bet all in for around 50,000. Ruggeri checked his cards before calling.

Claudio Di Giacomo: K♣Q♠ All in
Umberto Ruggeri: Q♣Q♥

The A♥J♣8♦6♣A♣ saw Ruggeri send his compatriot to the rail, with the table joking about the friendship between the two of them.

"Maybe he didn't believe you," commented someone.

"He's my friend," said Ruggeri. "But there are no friends at the poker table."
