Matan Krakow limped in from the small blind and Dimitrios Gkatzas checked his option.

Krakow led out for 300,000 on the J♥10♥2♦ flop, and Gkatzas called to see the 7♦ turn. Krakow then bet 700,000, and Gkatzas again called.

The river was the J♠ and Krakow announced a bet of 1,900,000. Gkatzas ended up burning through five time banks and tanking for several minutes before he called with 10♦8♥ for two pair, but Krakow had A♠J♣ to win the pot.

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Bora Kurtulus opened his button to 400,000 with A♠8♣. Traian Stanciu defended his big blind with J♣9♦ off of his short stack, after which both players checked the K♦4♣10♦ flop.

Stanciu checked again on the 9♥ turn. Kurtulus fired a bet of 400,000 in response. Stanciu spent two of his time banks before deciding to call.

The river fell the 7♠. Stanciu checked a third time, prompting Kurtulus to snap-jam. Stanciu had been put all-in for his stack of 700,000, and he went back into the tank.

After using another time extension, Stanciu folded the best hand. Kurtulus shipped the pot to near the 20-million mark, while Stanciu was left with three and a half big blinds.

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

In a limped pot to the K♣2♥3♠ flop, Bora Kurtulus bet 200,000, having made bottom pair with 6♣2♣. Matan Krakow called in the big blind with Q♦8♦, after which the 3♥ turn was checked by both players.

The J♣ river prompted Kurtulus to fire a bet of 400,000. Krakow weighed his options for a bit, but let his queen-high go near the end of his regular shot clock.
