Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Espen Oeye, Max Bashlawi, and Abd El Mannan Qasem had their cards on their backs, with Qasem having the chance to send two players to the rail.
Espen Oeye: K♣K♠ 
Max Bashlawi: J♠9♠
Abd El Mannan Qasem: A♣4♥
Oeye and Bashlawi had almost identical equity, but that quickly became irrelevant when Qasem spiked an ace on the A♥8♠Q♥ flop to take a commanding lead.
Both players picked up additional outs on the J♦ turn, and it was Bashlawi who found the river he needed as the 9♣ improved him to two pair.
Oeye was eliminated, while Bashlawi scooped the pot and tripled up to over 50,000.

On the 4♥2♥3♣ flop, all of Seunghyuk Jung's chips were slid across the betting line, totaling about 35,000. Mathew Frankland called, looking to send him to the rail before the final level of the night.
Seunghyuk Jung: 6♠6♥
Mathew Frankland: Q♥Q♣
Frankland was ahead with the higher overpair, although Jung had outs to a gutshot as well as a set.
The 10♥ turn changed nothing, and the Q♠ river was no help either as Frankland improved to a set, and Jung became another casualty of Frankland.

Jaaefar Bettioui raised to 2,500 from early position, and Giuseppe Dedoni called out of the small blind. Pau Vela then shoved for 19,000 from the big blind, which Bettioui called. Dedoni jammed over the top, covering both players, and Bettioui went deep into the tank.
Bettioui had around 50,000 in his stack and deliberated for quite a while. In the end, he settled on a fold, and the other two players revealed their cards.
Pau Vela: A♣9♣
Giuseppe Dedoni: A♥Q♠
Dedoni's ace-queen stayed in front on the 3♥5♥7♣2♠10♦ runout, sending Vela to the rail and adding his chips, along with Bettioui's contribution, to Dedoni's stack.

Four-way to the 5♠Q♠2♠ flop with about 15,000 in the pot, the action checked around to Nazar Buhaiov in the cutoff, who bet 3,500. Jamie O'Connor called from the small blind before Mykhailo Gutyi check-raised to 14,000 from the big blind. Piet Brandt then jammed for 49,500 from the hijack.
Buhaiov went deep into the tank, continuously looking back at his cards. After about two minutes, he folded, and O'Connor also got out of the way. Gutyi called and the cards were turned over.
Piet Brandt: K♦K♠
Mykhailo Gutyi: A♠4♠
Brandt needed a runner-runner full house to beat Gutyi's flopped nut flush.
The board-pairing Q♦ turn gave Brandt a glimmer of hope, but it was quickly extinguished when the 8♥ river bricked out.
Brandt headed for the showers, while Gutyi climbed to almost 200,000. After the hand, Buhaiov indicated that he had folded a flush when faced with all the action.

Tibor Nagygyorgy opened the button to 2,200 and Jeff Kirsch jammed the small blind for 22,000. Przemyslaw Cebrat moved all in over the top for about 45,000, forcing Nagygyorgy to fold.
Jeff Kirsch: J♦J♥
Przemyslaw Cebrat: A♠K♥
Kirsch's pair fell behind on the K♠5♥7♦ flop as Cebrat paired his king.
The A♥ turn improved Cebrat to two pair, leaving Kirsch needing one of the two remaining jacks to survive.
The 6♥ river was no good for Kirsch, and all of his chips were shipped across to his neighbor Cebrat.
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Jamie O'Connor had flat-called an earlier open to 2,000 in the cutoff. Francois Del Peso-Mancebo then three-bet to 9,000 in the big blind, after which the action folded to O'Connor.
He back-jammed all in, seeing Del Peso-Mancebo snap off his stack of 45,000.
Francois Del Peso-Mancebo: A♥A♣
Jamie O'Connor: 8♥8♣
O'Connor had run into the preflop nuts, but it did not matter as the 6♠9♥2♥7♦10♦ runout rivered him a straight to send Del Peso-Mancebo to the exit.
