Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Alejandro Ganivet raised to 100,000 in the cutoff before Luigi Macaluso moved all in for 635,000 in the small blind. Bogdan Vulcan was in the big blind and tanked for several minutes until eventually calling, while Ganivet got out of the way.

Luigi Macaluso: 7♣3♠ All in
Bogdan Vulcan: J♠J♣

Macaluso had been caught making a move and was far behind Vulcan's jacks. The 6♠4♣3♣ flop gave him some hope with a pair, but Macaluso improved no further on the 9♠ turn or 6♣ river and was sent to the rail in seventh place.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Javier Tsunamy raised to 100,000 in the hijack, Pablo Redrado moved all in for 200,000 in the cutoff, and Tsunamy called.

Pablo Redrado: A♦8♠ All in
Javier Tsunamy: A♠7♥

Redrado had Tsunamy dominated and moved further in the lead as the 8♣4♥4♦ flop gave him two pair. The 7♦ fell on the turn and Tsunamy could only let out a wry smile after making his own two pair. The river was the Q♥ and Redrado survived again.

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

After a prolonged series of raise-and-take-it pots, Javier Tsunamy opened to 80,000 in early positon with 10♣8♣ and found a caller in Luigi Macaluso in the big blind.

The flop came K♠J♠10♠ and Tsunamy bet 125,000. Macaluso called with K♦10♥ for two pair and the 5♣ fell on the turn.

Tsunamy then bet 230,000 and Macaluso again called. The river was the Q♥ and Tsunamy took another stab at the pot, this time betting 415,000. Macaluso quickly folded and Tsunamy took the pot.
