Level 23 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Seamus Cahill raised to 100,000 from the cutoff and was called by Tomasz Kozub and Sebastian Langrock in the blinds.

The flop came K♦9♠5♣ and Cahill bet another 175,000. Only Kozub called to see the 3♠ turn.

Cahill then pushed forward 700,000, leaving himself less than 100,000 behind, and Kozub agonized over the decision for a minute before mucking.

"That was the perfect turn card for me," Langrock said as the table headed off on break.

Level 23 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

One more hand was happening on the live-streamed feature table at the end of the level.

Five ways limped to a flop of J♠8♠5♥, Adolf Buettner bet 150,000 with 9♥7♠6♠4♣ for a wrap and flush draw in the cutoff. Oswin Ziegelbecker called with the A♠9♣8♥4♠ and Samuel Albeck did so from under the gun with A♦J♦9♦7♣.

The A♥ turn was checked to Ziegelbecker who made it 350,000 to go.

Albeck opted to shove for 1,380,000 and Buettner asked for a count to then let go.

Ziegelbecker called after short consideration with his inferior two pair and nut flush draw. The J♥ river improved Albeck further to jacks full of aces and he doubled.

Dorel Eldabach raised to 120,000 from an early position and Matthew Macioce defended the big blind.

On a K♦Q♥7♣ flop, Macioce checked and quickly folded when Eldabach bet 125,000.

Quan Zhou as shortest stack on the table was in the big blind next but had not come back yet, as his cards were dead. Eldabach limped and Macioce did so from the small blind.

The 9♣6♣2♠ flop was checked and Macioce bet the 3♣ turn for 125,000, Eldabach called.

After the 7♣ river, Macioce checked and quickly called when Eldabach bet 325,000. The start of day chip leader showed the A♣Q♦10♣10♠ and won a healthy pot.

Level 24 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Joao Estanislau raised to 150,000 with the K♠K♣J♦7♦ and Samuel Albeck called in the small blind with the J♠J♣9♣8♣.

Marco Di Persio three-bet to 600,000 with the A♠K♥K♦Q♥ and Estanislau called, Albeck folded.

The 10♣8♦7♥ flop had brought in a pot of 1,410,000 already and Di Persio jammed for the 1,330,000 he had behind.

Estanislau called with his identical overpair but a gutshot to go with, which put him as 58% to 42% favourite.

The 6♦ turn gave Estanislau a flush draw but it was the 9♥ river that completed his straight, knocking out Di Persio in 13th place.

Joao Estanislau	5,410,000 2,140,000	2,140,000

Level 24 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Sebastian Langrock raised to 175,000 under the gun and the rest of the table folded.

"My first one in like two hours. I'll take it," Langrock said, raising his arms in the air.

"Your graph is like this," Seamus Cahill, making a downward motion before levelling off.

Langrock made it two in a row the next hand. Dorel Eldabach bet 75,000 from early position in a limped pot with the board showing J♣5♠J♥ and Langrock called in the big blind.

The turn came the A♠ and Eldabach bet another 110,000. Langrock called again to the 3♥ river, where he led out for 260,000.

Eldabach eventually folded. "I had everything," Langrock said as he took the pot.
