Gabriel Tavares jammed the button for 160,000 and Gerard Carbo made the call from the small blind.

Gabriel Tavares: A♥10♣ All in
Gerard Carbo: J♥10♥

Tavares was ahead with ace-high and also had Carbo dominated.

Carbo flopped a monster draw on the Q♥9♥6♦ flop and found instant service on the 8♥ turn, improving to an unbeatable straight flush.

Tavares was drawing dead, making the Q♠ river a mere formality as he headed to the rail.

Before pulling in the pot, Carbo whipped out his phone to snap a picture of the straight flush that had sent Tavares packing. After getting the right angle, he finally got to work stacking the chips, taking his count past five million.

Jonas ten Cate: K♠3♠

Kalil paired up on the 10♣2♥5♥ flop, and Ten Cate could not strike back on the 9♠ turn and 4♣ river, deciding the pot in Kalil's favor.

Albert Grane open-shoved for 400,000 on the button, and John Juanda called off in the big blind after spending some time in the tank.

Albert Grane: K♦8♦ All in
John Juanda: K♣9♦

Juanda flopped top pair on 9♠7♥6♥, but Grane remained in contention with a straight draw. The J♣ turn and 8♣ river did not bring it in, however, eliminating Grane.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Michael Dwyer made a sizable raise to 105,000 in middle position. Romain Lewis was the only interested player, and he called on the button.

The players both checked the J♣10♣10♥ flop, prompting Dwyer to bet 160,000 on the 4♦ turn. Lewis called to the 5♣ river, where Dwyer piled in a massive bet of 500,000.

Lewis needed little time before he folded, conceding the pot to his opponent.

Luigi Minolfi raised to 80,000 in the cutoff. Jose Criado three-bet to 225,000 on the button, and Minolfi put in calling chips.

Minolfi checked the 4♣K♣A♣ flop over to Criado, who bet 150,000. Minolfi then jammed all in for 770,000, and Criado snap-called.

Luigi Minolfi: A♠7♠ All in
Jose Criado: A♥Q♣

It was looking bleak for Minolfi, and he was officially eliminated when the 8♣ turn upgraded Criado to a flush, rendering the 2♣ river irrelevant.

Gabriel Tavares limped in from the small blind before calling when Gerard Carbo raised to 90,000 in the big blind.

Tavares check-called a bet of 40,000 on a 4♠J♠6♥ flop, but after he checked again on the A♥ turn and Carbo barreled with another bet of 60,000, Tavares folded, leaving himself with less than four big blinds.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Manuel Ferrari raised to 80,000 from the hijack, and Vasyl Pidhrusnyi jammed for 335,000 from the small blind. Ferrari thought it over and then made the call.

Vasyl Pidhrusnyi: A♦J♦ All in
Manuel Ferrari: 7♥6♥

Pidhrusnyi was ahead with ace-high, but Ferrari had a hand with plenty of potential.

The 2♠Q♠10♦ flop was great for Pidhrusnyi, and the J♥ turn left Ferrari drawing dead. The 9♦ river was a mere formality, cementing Pidhrusnyi's double-up at Ferrari's expense.

Michael Dwyer raised to 80,000 from the small blind and Grzegorz Kozieja defended from the big blind.

Dwyer bet 40,000 on the A♥J♠A♠ flop, then fired a second barrel of 150,000 on the 8♠ turn, with Kozieja calling both bets.

The 2♦ completed the board and Dwyer placed out a third bet of 350,000. Kozieja had to burn through a time bank before deciding to fold, giving up the pot to Dwyer.

Nicolas Chouity raised to 80,000 from under the gun, and Vasyl Pidhrusnyi defended from the big blind.

After seeing the K♥3♥10♠ flop, Pidhrusnyi check-called Chouity's bet of 60,000.

A Q♣ landed on the turn, causing both to check and see the 7♦ on the river. Pidhrusnyi checked for the last time, and Chouity fired for 180,000. Pidhrusnyi snap-called.

Chouity turned over K♠J♥ to win the pot with top pair, as Pidhrusnyi mucked K♣4♣ for the same pair with a lower kicker.

On the first hand after the final three tables resumed play, Joris Ruijs raised to 80,000 in the hijack. It folded to Edward Pak, who called in the big blind.

Ruijs continued for 65,000 on the 7♣2♦3♠ flop, and Pak check-called. Ruijs kept barreling on the K♥ turn, firing for 275,000. Pak quickly check-folded this time.

The next hand, Lukas van Eeden received a walk in the big blind.

On the next deal, Pak raised his button to 80,000. Nicolas Chouity was in the big blind, and he three-bet to 320,000. Pak swiftly let his hand go, surrendering another pot.
