Three-way on a flop of Q♣4♦J♠, Artsiom Lasouski in the small blind led out for 21,000. The big blind folded, but George Rotariu in middle position made the call.

The 9♣ landed on the turn and Lasouski fired a second barrel of 125,000. Rotariu looked at his cards, again and decided to fold, revealing the Q♠ for top pair.

Level 7 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

In a blind vs. blind scenario, Vanush Mnatsakanyan initiated with a raise from the small blind, prompting Bart Lybaert to go all-in. Mnatsakanyan made the call, leading to a showdown:

Vanush Mnatsakanyan: A♥Q♣ All in
Bart Lybaert: 10♠10♣

Mnatsakanyan was in need of assistance from the board, but unfortunately for him, luck wasn't on his side as the dealer revealed 3♣9♠3♠5♦6♥. With no improvement to his hand, Mnatsakanyan was sent to the rail, while Lybaert was left to enjoy his nearly 1,500,000 chip stack.

Level 7 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Kalidou Sow in early position and the big blind discovered a flop of K♠3♥9♥ where Sow bet 15,000. The big bling check-called, then checked again the 2♣ turn.

Sow checked back to find the 8♥ river. The big blind checked once again, but Sow seemed to hesitated.

He eventually checked back, but his cards went into the muck when the big blind flipped over A♦4♣.

Pateychuk Eliminated

Level 7 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Marian Mitran opened the action from middle position with a raise to 16,000. Andrey Pateychuk, with only 94,000 chips left, went all in. Szymon Bujok requested a count from the dealer and ultimately decided to call, as did Mitran. With three players involved and only one player all in, Mitran and Bujok continued playing without revealing their hands.

The flop revealed A♥6♠4♥, prompting Mitran to check-call Bujok's bet of 35,000 chips.

Both players opted to check through the 8♣ turn.

On the river, the A♦ appeared, and once again Mitran checked. Uncertain of his hand, Bujok also checked. However, with an all-in situation, all players were required to show their cards:

Andrey Pateychuk: 9♣9♦ All in
Marian Mitran: K♥Q♥
Szymon Bujok: K♦K♠

Despite the presence of two aces on the board, Bujok didn't anticipate winning the hand, but his kings prevailed, allowing him to amass over 2,000,000 while Pateychuk was eliminated.

Szymon Bujok	2,100,000 2,100,000	2,100,000

Level 8 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

After an open to 20,000 by a player in middle position, Recep Aydemir called from the button, then Paul Runcan jammed for 163,000 in the big blind.

The initial raiser moved all-in as well for 302,000. Aydemir asked for the count, but folded.

Paul Runcan: A♦Q♦ All in
Middle position player: A♥Q♣

Both players smiled when they discovered that they had the same hand, and Runcan's smile stayed on his face as he was lucky enough to hit a flush on 3♦2♥2♦J♦10♥ to double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Recep Aydemir	450,000 450,000	450,000
Paul Runcan	361,000 361,000	361,000

Level 8 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

On the feature table, Enzo Enzo opened from early position, then Ludovic Geilich in the hijack three-bet to 49,000. Yusuf Tekin called from the small blind, and so did Enzo.

The dealer fanned a flop of K♦3♣2♥, and Tekin directly moved all in for 120,000. Enzo called, prompting Geilich to fold 10♦7♦.

Yusuf Tekin: A♣6♣ All in
Enzo Enzo: 2♠2♦

Enzo hit a set on the flop, then a full house with the 3♠. Tekin was drawing dead, so he was eliminated after the 5♣ river.
