Rama Prema raised to 275,000 in the hijack. It folded to Grzegorz Kozieja in the big blind, who opted to defend.
On the K♣6♥5♠ flop, Kozieja check-raised Prema's bet of 175,000 to 475,000. Prema responded by moving all in. A swift fold came from Kozieja, leaving himself with only ten big blinds.
Scott Margereson opened to 250,000 in the hijack, and Yulian Bogdanov defended his big blind. Bogdanov check-called Margereson's bet of 175,000 on the 7♣3♣K♣ flop before the 2♠ turn was checked by both.
Bogdanov slid in 250,000 chips on the 5♠ river, seeing Margereson quickly call. Bogdanov flipped over 6♥6♣ for a pocket pair, and it took down the pot when Margereson mucked his cards.
Rama Prema opened to 275,000 from under the gun and Shmuel Goldenberg called on the button. David Urban also defended the big blind taking the players three-ways to the flop.
The 5♦Q♥5♠ was dealt and Urban checked. Prema bet 175,000 and only Goldenberg called.
A K♣ was turned, and Prema bet out 425,000. Goldenberg gave up the hand and passed the pot to Prema.
Heads-up on a flop of Q♣Q♦9♥, Simon Lofberg bet 150,000 from under the gun and Lulei Hu called in the big blind.
The turn was the 10♦ and Lofberg bet another 475,000. Hu then raised to 1,100,000, and Lofberg called.
The J♦ fell on the river and Hu bet 800,000, leaving himself 100,000 behind. Lofberg took a minute, but this time decided to fold and Hu took down the pot.
Matthias Auer opened to 300,000 from the cutoff and Antoine Berruel defended the big blind.
The 6♥8♠2♠ flop was jammed by Berruel for his remaining 650,000 and Auer took some time before making the call.
Antoine Berruel: 9♣7♠
Matthias Auer: A♦2♦
Auer showed first, and was looking at a straight draw. Auer was still ahead with a pair of deuces.
The Q♣ turn and Q♠ river didn't bring it in for Berruel, and Auer took the pot, leaving Berruel to hit the rail.
Shmuel Goldenberg opened the action with a raise to 250,000 in the hijack. Grzegorz Kozieja fired a three-bet to 625,000 in the cutoff, and Goldenberg called once the rest of the table had folded.
After the J♦10♣6♦ flop checked through, Goldenberg instantly moved all in with an overbet on the 2♣ turn.
Kozieja was put to the test for his stack of 2,200,000, but he quickly folded to forfeit the pot. Goldenberg was kind enough to show 9♥9♦ as he dragged the pot.
Level: 30
Blinds: 50,000/125,000
Ante: 125,000
Lulei Hu raised to 200,000 under the gun, Andrew Dickinson moved all in for 525,000 in the small blind, and Hu called.
Andrew Dickinson: K♦8♦
Lulei Hu: A♣10♦
The 9♥Q♥5♥ flop was no help to Dickinson, while the A♦ came on the turn to give Hu top pair and leave Dickinson drawing dead. The river was the 7♣ and Dickinson was eliminated in 20th place.
"Have fun," he told his tablemates on his way to the rail.
Oleksandr Sybirtsev open-jammed for 1,200,000 from the cutoff, and Matthias Auer re-jammed from the button for 1,900,000.
The blinds folded, leaving the players to flip their cards.
Oleksandr Sybirtsev: A♥K♦
Matthias Auer: A♦A♠
Sybirtsev needed to hit to stay alive and found one king on the 9♥K♠7♣ flop.
There was no more luck for Sybirtsev, however, as he bricked on the 5♣ turn and 10♥ river, sending him home in 21st place.
