Level 38
: Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Danilo Donnini made it 2,000,000 to go on the button, and Narcis Nedelcu called in the big blind.
Donnini fired 2,300,000 into the pot on the Q♦9♣6♣, which Nedelcu check-called. Both players then knuckled the table on the J♥ turn, and the 8♥ river was checked to showdown as well.
Nedelcu tabled 9♦7♠ for a pair of nines, besting the A♦6♥ of Donnini to rake in the pot.

: Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Isaac Barker pushed in most of his stack under the gun, raising to 4,600,000. Narcis Nedelcu then three-bet to 8,200,000 in the small blind, and Barker quickly called off his 2,200,000 remaining chips.
Isaac Barker: A♦4♦ 
Narcis Nedelcu: A♣10♣
Barker did not find any help on the 6♠8♠3♣ flop or J♠ turn. The 8♣ river did not bring a four either, cementing Barker's status as the seventh-place finisher.
Nedelcu, meanwhile, raked in yet another pot to take over the chip lead at the final table.

Level 38
: Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Vasyl Palandiuk opened his K♣Q♦ to 2,000,000 in the cutoff. Danilo Donnini fancied a flop with 8♦6♣ in the big blind, and flicked in calling chips.
The J♣7♦6♥ flop was checked through to the Q♠ turn, where Donnini led out for 2,000,000. Palandiuk just called with his top pair, after which the K♦ river completed the board.
Donnini slowed down and checked. Palandiuk, having been upgraded to two pair, slid 6,800,000 into the middle, winning the pot when Donnini quickly mucked his bottom pair.

It folded to Danilo Donnini in the small blind. He raised to 3,000,000 with A♠J♠, seeing Oliver Gayko call in the big blind. Donnini continued for 3,600,000 on the K♦K♥10♥ flop, causing Gayko to quickly fold A♣3♣.
Two hands later, Gayko found A♥6♥ on the button. He raised to 2,000,000, after which Vasyl Palandiuk put him to the test by moving all in with 4♥4♣ in the big blind.
Gayko immediately let go of his cards as he dove under 30 big blinds in chips.

Daryl McAleenan was under the gun and raised to 2,000,000 with A♥K♣.
Oliver Gayko flat-called A♣Q♥ in the cutoff, and big blind Francesco Gisolfi came along with 4♥3♥.
Gisolfi checked the Q♠K♦8♥ flop to McAleenan, who put in another 2,000,000. Gayko dropped a call in the pot, after which Gisolfi got out of the way.
McAleenan then decided to shove all in for 13,900,000 on the 5♦ turn, slightly over-betting the pot. Gayko gave it some thought but ended up making the correct fold with his second pair.

Narcis Nedelcu found 8♠8♦ in the hijack and raised to 2,000,000. Daryl McAleenan was in the small blind and looked down at K♥K♣. He bumped it up to 7,500,000, sending Nedelcu in the tank.
After spending a time bank, Nedelcu got rid of his pocket pair, granting the pot to McAleenan without further contest.

After the rest of the table had folded, Narcis Nedelcu limped in from the small blind. Vasyl Palandiuk was in the big blind and raised it to 3,300,000, with Nedelcu tossing in a quick call.
Narcis Nedelcu check-called Palandiuk's continuation-bet of 1,900,000 on the 4♠Q♥2♠ flop. Nedelcu checked again on the 9♠ turn. This time, Palandiuk checked back.
The 3♠ then arrived on the river. Nedelcu put in a bet of 4,500,000, and Palandiuk mucked his ace-high after a few seconds.

It folded back to Donnini, who gave it some thought before four-betting to 14,000,000. Nedelcu got rid of his cards, and Donnini was shipped the pot without the need for a flop.
