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

Manel Montalban open-raised to 12,000 from early position and Jamil Wakil called in the cutoff. Ruslan Nazarenko moved all in from the big blind for around 70,000, Montalban folded and Wakil made the call to put his opponent at risk.

Ruslan Nazarenko: A♠K♠ All in
Jamil Wakil: 5♣5♥

Nazarenko's hopes of doubling quickly faded as the flop ran out 5♦6♥7♦ to give Wakil a set of fives. The turn came the 8♦ and provided a chance for a chop, but the 6♣ river further improved Wakil's hand to a full house. He won the pot and Nazarenko was sent to the rail.

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

Jamil Wakil opened the pot with a raise to 12,000 from under the gun. Heinz Schlueter called in the hijack and Manel Montalban called on the button.

On the 3♣6♣10♥ flop, action checked to Montalban, who made a bet of 25,000. Wakil called before Schlueter check-raised to 77,000. Montalban called and Wakil folded.

By the time the 9♥ turn was dealt, the pot was already worth around 200,000, giving Schlueter a pot-sized shove. Schlueter pulled the trigger, pushing 192,000 into the middle and leaving Montalban with a game-changing decision to make.

Montalban called and Schlueter showed K♣Q♣ for a flush draw with overcards. At this point, Schlueter probably thought he had a lot of outs, until Montalban flipped over A♣10♣ for a higher flush draw and pair of tens.

Schlueter needed a king or queen to pull ahead, but couldn't find what he was looking for as the river came the 10♦ to further improve Montalban's hand to trip tens.

Montalban scooped in a huge pot of around 400,000 and Schlueter was eliminated from the tournament.

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

Action folded around to Tjan Tepeh, who moved all in from the button for around 90,000. Mykhailo Demydenko made the call in the big blind with the covering stack and players flipped their cards.

Tjan Tepeh: K♣K♠ All in
Mykhailo Demydenko: A♣Q♥

Tepeh was in great shape and wasn't too fazed when Demydenko picked up a pair on the Q♣2♥9♣ flop. The turn was the 7♣, which also gave Demydenko a flush draw. The sweats were on.

The river came the 5♣ and Demydenko completed his flush, cracking Tepeh's kings and sending him to the exit.
