Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Danut Chisu opened to 105,000 from under the gun, and Vincent Meli called from the button.

The flop came 9♠7♣Q♦, and Chisu continued with a bet of 125,000, which Meli called. The turn brought the Q♠, and Chisu checked. Meli got the initiative with a bet of 225,000, and Chisu called after some thought.

The 9♥ completed the board, and Chisu checked again. Meli moved all in, sending Chisu deep into the tank. After using two time bank cards, Chisu slammed his chips in to call. Meli revealed A♠7♠ for ace-high and a counterfeited pair of sevens, and Chisu won the pot with his K♠K♦, eliminating Meli in 18th place.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Carmelo Donato made it 100,000 to go from middle position and Siarhei Alontsau defended from the big blind.

They saw a flop of Q♥8♣7♦ where Alontsau checked, and Donato bet 110,000. Alontsau called.

A 7♠ paired the board on the turn and after Alontsau checked, Donato fired 225,000. Alontsau instantly moved all in, and Donato was put to the test for his remaining stack of 425,000. After thinking for some time, Donato called.

Carmelo Donato: K♥Q♠ All in
Siarhei Alontsau: 10♥7♣

The disappointment in Donato's body language was obvious, but there was still one card to come. Only a queen would save Donato, but it turned out not to be third time lucky as the 3♣ completed the board, which meant he was out in 19th.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Umberto Ruggeri opened to 80,000 from under the gun and Fabian Bartuschk three-bet to 295,000 in the hijack, leaving himself around 85,000 behind. Siegfried Kapeller was in the small blind and shoved for 1,330,000, and Pawel Wojciechowski in the big blind also moved all in for around 1,700,000. Ruggeri quickly folded, and Bartuschk was left with a decision.

"I could be dead here. It would be great if you both had jacks and queens," he said, before he finally called off his stack.

Fabian Bartuschk: A♥10♥ All in
Siegfried Kapeller: Q♠Q♦ All in
Pawel Wojciechowski: A♣K♦

Wojciechowski had the chance to eliminate two opponents in the same hand if his Big Slick could find a way to win. Bartuschk would need to beat both players to win the main pot, and gave himself a chance after the 4♥10♣5♦ flop paired his ten. Kapeller's queens remaining in the lead through the 8♠ turn, which left Bartuschk & Wojciechowski with one more chance to improve.

The J♣ didn't bring any more drama to the hand, and Kapeller's queens held up, which meant Bartuschk was out in 20th, and Wojciechowski's stack tumbled to around 400,000.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Paul Runcan opened to 80,000 from the cutoff, and Adrian Mack three-bet to 210,000 from the button. Action folded back to Runcan, who responded with a four-bet to 480,000. Mack, with not much left behind, moved all in, and Runcan made the call.

Adrian Mack: 7♦7♣ All in
Paul Runcan: A♠A♦

Mack found himself in a difficult position, and his hopes dimmed further when the dealer put out the 8♠A♣J♣ flop, giving Runcan top set. The 10♣ on the turn provided Mack with plenty of outs, but the 4♠ on the river was not one of them and Mack was eliminated in 21st place.

Arjel Daci raised from the hijack to 80,000 and Umberto Ruggeri called in from the cutoff. Barak Oz also called from the big blind.

The flop came 9♥Q♣3♦ and Oz checked, then Daci fired 125,000. Ruggeri got out of the way, and Oz bumped it up to 300,000. After a while, Daci shoved for around 900,000, and Oz snap-called.

Arjel Daci: K♣Q♥ All in
Barak Oz : Q♠9♠

Daci had flopped top pair, but was way behind to the two pair of Oz. An A♥ on the turn did have Daci a few more ways to survive, but the 7♦ river wasn't one of them, and he was out in 22nd.

Christian Rudolph opened to 60,000 from middle position, and Tjenno Eskes responded with a three-bet to 185,000 from the small blind. Action folded back to Rudolph, who moved all in, and Eskes snap-called.

Christian Rudolph: A♠K♣ All in
Tjenno Eskes: Q♥Q♦

Another classic race was underway, but the 4♥9♥Q♠ flop left Rudolph in a dire spot as Eskes improved to a set. The 7♥ on the turn sealed Rudolph's fate, and the 6♠ river confirmed his elimination in 23rd place.

Stanislaw Grodek moved all in for 540,000 from the cutoff, and the action folded to Tjenno Eskes in the small blind. Eskes asked for the exact count before moving all in as well, prompting the big blind to fold.

Stanislaw Grodek: 7♥7♣ All in
Tjenno Eskes: 10♠10♣

Grodek needed a seven to stay alive, but the 10♥8♣4♥ flop left him in tough position as Eskes improved to a set. The 8♦ on the turn sealed Grodek's fate with Eskes making a full house, and the 3♦ river confirmed Grodek's elimination in 24th place.

Paul Runcan opened from under the gun to 60,000 and Pascal Vos shoved from the next seat for 275,000. When it got back to Runcan, he debated for a while, then called.

Pascal Vos: 9♠9♥ All in
Paul Runcan: J♦10♥

Runcan was pleased to find himself in a flip, and even more pleased after he paired his ten on the 4♥A♥10♠ flop. Only a nine could save Vos, but neither the 5♠ turn or K♠ river could save him, and he was out in 25th.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

When it folded to Lasse Hansen in the small blind he shoved for roughly 200,000 with only Pawel Wojciechowski to get through in the big blind. Wojciechowski looked at his cards and called to put Hansen at risk.

Lasse Hansen: J♠8♣ All in
Pawel Wojciechowski: K♠2♥

Hansen needed some help from the dealer to stay alive. He got it on the J♥8♥5♥ flop as he improved to two pair, but Wojciechowski had a flush draw. The K♦ turn gave Wojciechowski even more outs, as the 7♥ peeled off on the river to give Wojciechowski the winner with a flush. Wojciechowski pulled in the pot and Hansen was out.
