Josef Schusteritsch: A♣J♣ All in
Barak Oz: 10♣10♠

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Danut Chisu raised to 40,000 from middle position and Paul Runcan three-bet to 150,000 from the hijack. Chisu made the call.

The 5♣3♠2♥ flop checked through for the K♠ to fall on the turn. Chisu led out for 90,000 and Runcan called.

The 3♥ hit the river and Chisu bet out again for 90,000. Runcan raised to 580,000, which caused Chisu to go into the tank. After going through three of his time bank cards, Chisu opted to lay his hand down and surrender the pot to Runcan.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Fabian Bartuschk limped in from the small blind and Adrian Mack checked his option from the big blind.

The flop came down A♣4♦8♥ and Bartuschk check-called a bet of 30,000 from Mack. On the 2♥ turn, Bartuschk went into check-call mode again after Mack bet 50,000.

A 6♦ completed the board and Bartuschk checked for a third time, then Mack fired out 100,000. Bartuschk quickly called.

Mack tabled top pair with A♠10♣, but Bartuschk had the winner with 6♣4♥ as he rivered two pair.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Action folded to Arjel Daci, who called from the small blind, and Umberto Ruggeri checked his option from the big blind.

Both players checked the J♠6♦J♥ flop, and the 7♣ fell on the turn. Daci checked again, and Ruggeri bet 35,000. Daci grabbed raising chips and made it 105,000. Ruggeri called.

The river was the A♦, and Daci led out for 100,000. Ruggeri used a timebank card before announcing a raise to 275,000, which was enough to make Daci fold.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The action was picked up with around 400,000 in the pot on a complete board that read 6♠K♠7♥Q♦Q♥. Adrian Mack was first to act from the small blind and led out for a bet of 125,000. Georgios Vrakas went through two of his time bank cards before making the call.

Mack immediately slid his cards face down into the muck, so Vrakas picked up the pot without showing his cards.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Umberto Ruggeri opened the action with a bet of 40,000 from the button, and Vidar Oie moved all in for 335,000 from the small blind. Artur Shupa asked for the exact amount before moving all in as well for 550,000, and Ruggeri folded.

Vidar Oie: A♣K♥ All in
Artur Shupa: A♠Q♠

Oie was in a great spot to double up, and the K♠2♦A♦ flop only improved his chances. The 8♠ on the turn gave Shupa many outs, but the 7♦ on the river was none of them and Oie secured the double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Umberto Ruggeri	1,700,000 100,000	100,000

Paul Runcan opened from middle position to 40,000 with Fabian Bartuschk calling from the cutoff. Adrian Mack shoved from the button for 325,000, which only Bartuschk called.

Adrian Mack: K♠Q♥ All in
Fabian Bartuschk: A♣J♣

Mack was slightly behind and needed help from the dealer to remain in the Main Event. The dealer complied as the board ran out K♥9♣8♣10♠K♦, giving Mack the winner with trip kings, and he doubled up.
