Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

When it folded to Jakub Cihar on the button, he shoved for 77,000 with just the blinds to get through. Thomas de Rooij moved all in over the top for 193,000, and after the big blind folded, the cards were revealed.

Jakub Cihar: 10♠10♥ All in
Thomas de Rooij: A♠Q♥

It was a classic flip that Cihar had to win to continue his deep run in the tournament. However, the board ran out A♥8♣7♦J♠3♠ to give De Rooij the winner with a pair of aces, sending Cihar to the cashier's desk.

Georgios Tavoularis

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The action folded to Denis Charlier on the button, who moved all in for approximately 95,000. Aurimas Stanevicius, with 40,000 in total, made the call, and the big blind folded.

Aurimas Stanevicius: 6♦6♥ All in
Denis Charlier: A♥K♦

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Philip Joyce raised to 16,000 from under the gun and Jerry Odeen three-bet to 42,000 from the cutoff. After it folded back to Joyce, he made the call.

Joyce check-called a bet of 26,000 from Odeen on the J♥K♠8♣ flop.

Joyce checked again on the 10♦ turn and Odeen shoved for roughly 120,000. Joyce snap-called and the cards were revealed.

Jerry Odeen: K♣10♣ All in
Philip Joyce: A♠Q♣

A brutal turn card had improved Odeen to two pair while also giving Joyce the nut straight. A non-pairing 7♥ came on the river and Joyce eliminated Odeen.

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

With around 75,000 chips already in the middle on a J♥8♣K♦6♣ board, Sylwia Studniarz checked from the big blind and Darko Percic fired 35,000 from middle position. Studniarz then raised to 75,000, and Percic wasted no time in shoving for around 150,000 total. Studniarz called.

Darko Percic: K♥Q♦ All in
Sylwia Studniarz: J♣8♦

Percic had top pair, but needed to find some help on the river as Studniarz had flopped two pair. An A♦ river was no help to Percic, who tapped the table and made his way to the payout desk.
