Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Vasyl Pidhrusnyi opened his button to 25,000. Ole Schemion flat-called in the small blind, and check-called Pidhrusnyi's bets of 30,000 on the 8♥A♣J♣ flop and 75,000 on the 5♣ turn.

Schemion checked a third time on the Q♥ river. This time, he was met with a bet of 180,000 by Pidhrusnyi.

"I can't fold," claimed Schemion as his shot clock ticked down. Eventually, he called. Pidhrusnyi tabled K♣10♦ for the rivered straight, and Schemion quickly mucked his cards.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Aram Sargsyan and Gianfranco Iaculli went on a preflop raising war that ended with Sargsyan all in for 640,000 from under the gun as Iaculli went for the knockout in the hijack.

Aram Sargsyan: A♦K♣ All in
Gianfranco Iaculli: K♦K♠

Sargsyan had run into Iaculli's kings and needed an ace to stay alive, but he missed the 10♣5♦5♣4♠4♦ board and Iaculli took the massive pot to send Sargsyan to the rail.

"Now you're chip leader," tablemate Mats Ullereng said to Iaculli, who moved up past 2,000,000.

At another table, Jaehyung Park shoved for his last 40,000 under the gun, Fahredin Mustafov reshoved on the button, and the rest of the table got out of the way.

Jaehyung Park: K♠4♠ All in
Fahredin Mustafov: A♠5♦

Mustafov hit top pair on the A♥Q♥6♠ flop, while the rest of the board ran out 6♥10♥ and Park's hopes of a second straight final table run came to an end.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Marius Kudzmanas had fallen down to 217,000 just before the break after doubling up his opponent. He moved all in from the big blind just a few hands into the last level of the evening after Roman Stoica opened from the hijack. Stoica called, and the players went to showdown.

Marius Kudzmanas: 3♠3♦ All in
Roman Stoica: A♦Q♠

Kudzmanas was looking to hold, and the 9♣J♦4♦ flop was good, but he didn't want to see any more diamonds.

The K♥ turn and 9♥ river saw him safely secure the double.
