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

Alexander Ivarsson had called an earlier open when Iraklis Manikaros three-bet to 170,000 from the small blind. Ivarsson called in the hijack after the initial raiser folded.

Manikaros continued for 85,000 on the 9♣10♠10♦ flop. Ivarsson called to the 3♣ turn, where Manikaros sized up to 215,000.

After some thought, Ivarsson moved all in for 550,000. Manikaros snapped him off with the covering stack.

Alexander Ivarsson: 5♠5♦ All in
Iraklis Manikaros: K♥K♦

Ivarsson's fives were in dire shape against the kings of Manikaros. The Q♠ river helped neither player, deciding the vital pot in Manikaros' favor.

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

Clyde Tjauw Foe three-bet to 125,000 on the button before Rama Prema four-bet to 275,000 under the gun. Foe called, and they went heads-up to the A♣J♦9♥ flop.

Prema then bet 80,000 and Foe called. The turn was the 8♠ and Prema bet another 165,000. "I guess queens," Foe said as he tanked for a few minutes.

"I'm trying to think if you would call a shove with queens. Maybe not," Foe added as he mucked.

"Tough decision," Prema replied while taking in the pot.

The next hand at this table, Giuseppe Vulcano moved all in for 195,000 in early position, Adil Tlimisov reshoved on the button, and the rest of the table folded.

Giuseppe Vulcano: J♣J♠ All in
Adil Tlimisov: 10♣10♠

Vulcano was ahead with his jacks, and the board ran out J♥7♣9♥3♣5♦ to give him top set and the double up.

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

Aliaksandr Shylko had already doubled through Sebastian Kotowicz once when the players got their chips in the middle preflop again. This time, Shylko was at risk for 270,000.

Aliaksandr Shylko: A♣Q♦ All in
Sebastian Kotowicz: J♠J♦

Shylko paired up on the A♥4♠3♠ flop. The 2♥ turn provided some chop outs, but the 7♣ river remained clean for Shylko to double up once more.

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

With around 200,000 in the pot on a flop of 9♥5♦7♠, Aren Bezhanyan bet 110,000 from the big blind and Iraklis Manikaros raised to 260,000 in the cutoff. Bezhanyan then moved all in.

Manikaros tanked for a few minutes until a tablemate called the clock, and he eventually put in his last 470,000.

Iraklis Manikaros: J♦9♦ All in
Aren Bezhanyan: A♠A♥

Manikaros had flopped top pair, but he was behind against Bezhanyan's aces and needed help to survive. He hit the 9♠ on the turn to make trips, while the river was the K♦ and Bezhanyan stopped to snap a photo of the board before handing over the double up.

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

Raimondo Marcello moved all in for 220,000 under the gun and Grzegorz Kozieja called in middle position.

Raimondo Marcello: 6♥6♦ All in
Grzegorz Kozieja: Q♦Q♣

Marcello was crushed by Kozieja's queens until the flop brought 10♦6♣9♣ to give him a set. Marcello improved to a full house on the 9♥ turn, while the river came the 7♦ and he doubled up.

At another table, Merijn van Rooij had raised to 200,000 in the big blind before Yoshihiro Inoue moved all in from early position. A tournament official gave Van Rooij five seconds to act, and he committed an additional 55,000.

Merijn van Rooij: K♦K♠ All in
Yoshihiro Inoue: 10♥10♠

Van Rooij was ahead with his kings, and the board ran out 8♣9♥2♦2♥3♠ to earn him a double up.
