Level 34 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Vitezslav Cech open jammed for his remaining 1,625,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Ivan Poroliev in the small blind who called.

The players flipped their cards and Cech looked to the board for help.

Vitezslav Cech: A♠6♠ All in
Ivan Poroliev: A♦9♠

The 9♥K♦J♠ flop was good for Poroliev, and Cech stood as the 8♣ turn was placed as there was no way out.

The river was the 3♣ and Cech was eliminated in 10th place, narrowly missing out on reaching the final table.

Level 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Vitezslav Cech raised to 800,000 in the small blind and Yulian Bogdanov called in the big blind.

Cech checked the K♦6♥7♣ flop and Bogdanov bet 500,000. Cech called, and the 6♣ fell on the turn.

Cech then led out for 1,300,000, and Bogdanov called to see the 10♦ fall on the river. Cech then moved all in, and Bogdanov snap-called for 2,325,000.

Cech turned over A♦K♣ before the players were told by tournament officials not to reveal their cards until action was finished on the other table. "I got you," Bogdanov told him, eventually flipping over 7♦7♠ for a full house to win the pot and double up.

Rama Prema shoved from the small blind and Amato Landi called for 2,200,000 in the big blind.

Amato Landi: K♠8♦ All in
Rama Prema: 4♥3♥

The flop came 2♥2♣J♣ as Landi remained in the lead with his king-kicker. The rest of the board ran out J♦10♦ and Prema couldn't catch up as he handed over the double up.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Landi shouted out, going over to celebrate with his loud rail.

Level 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Ivan Poroliev limped from the small blind for 250,000 and Matthias Auer raised to 800,000. Poroliev called and the players went to the flop.

The 4♦A♥K♠ saw Poroliev check-call after Auer bet 500,000.

A 8♣ turn was checked to the 6♣ river and Poroliev bet out 275,000.

Auer called, and Poroliev was first to show A♠7♣.

Top pair was enough to make Auer muck, and Poroliev picked up a small pot.

Matthias Auer	14,200,000 800,000	800,000

Mahersh Selvakumaran: K♠J♣ All in
Ben Hurwitz: Q♣J♦

"One little queen. Lady luck," Hurwitz pleaded, but Selvakumaran instead hit top pair on the K♣4♥5♦ flop to take a big lead. The 10♠ turn gave Hurwitz some hope with a straight draw, and he hit his straight on the 9♥ river to send Selvakumaran to the rail in 11th place.

Rama Prema raised to 525,000 in the cutoff before Simon Lofberg moved all in for 4,375,000 in the small blind. Prema took a minute and eventually called to put Lofberg at risk.

Simon Lofberg: A♦Q♥ All in
Rama Prema: A♥J♠

Lofberg had Prema dominated, and his queen-kicker continued to play through the 8♥2♥4♦3♥6♦ board to earn him the double up.
