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

Sylwia Studniarz came back from the dinner break a little late, but wasted no time in getting involved in a few hands.

First, Studniarz raised from middle position and got a call from Tjenno Eskes on the button.

They saw a flop of Q♠A♥2♣ where Studniarz fired 75,000, and Eskes called to the 8♦ turn. Studniarz slowed down and checked, then Eskes fired 250,000. Studinarz came back with a check-raise to 600,000, and Eskes quickly folded.

A few hands later, Siarhei Alontsau raised from middle position to 80,000 and Studniarz defended her big blind.

On the 2♦3♠4♥ flop, Studniarz checked, Alontsau bet 80,000, Studniarz raised to 225,000, and Alontsau folded.

In the very next hand, Jaehyung Park made it 80,000 on the button and Studniarz three-bet the small blind to 300,000. Park then four-bet shoved for around 930,000, and Studniarz had a decision.

"Do you want a call or not?" she asked. Park shrugged his shoulders and after thinking some more, Studniarz folded.

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.

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

Umberto Ruggeri limped in from the button before Vidar Oie just called from the small blind. Fabian Bartuschk opted to check from the ig blind and they went to the flop three-way.

The action checked the Ruggeri on the 7♥J♦10♦ flop and he bet 85,000. Oie called, but Bartuschk folded.

The K♥ turn checked through for the 2♥ to hit the river. Oie bet 75,000 and Ruggeri quickly called.

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 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.
