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

On a board of 4♠6♠J♦J♣8♠ with roughly 180,000 in the pot, Simone Andrian in middle position moved all in for almost 240,000.

Mario Navarro Arrocha in the cutoff went deep into the tank, but he eventually called with J♥10♥ for trips. Andrian only had K♠Q♥, so Navarro Arrocha secured a double up, leaving Andrian with 70,000 chips.

With the pot already reaching approximately 175,000, Teun Mulder placed a bet of 130,000 chips on the A♠4♣5♣ flop, which his opponent called.

After both players checked the 2♣ turn, Mulder took the initiative once more on the Q♦ river with a hefty bet of 500,000 chips, effectively putting his opponent all-in. Upon facing the fold, Mulder could confidently add another significant portion to his stack.

Level 9 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

On a board of Q♣4♠Q♠3♣ with 145,000 in the pot, Akin Guven in middle position bet 65,000, then called when Stefan Nemetz in the small blind raised to 130,000.

The 8♠ came on the river and Nemetz moved all-in for 599,000. Guven went into the tank, but seemed to have no choice but to call with a smaller stack.

Akin Guven: 3♠3♥ All in
Stefan Nemetz: Q♦8♦

Guven hit a full house on the turn, but Nemetz found a better full house on the river to send Guven to the rail.

Level 9 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Kalidou Sow opened to 25,000 from the cutoff, then called when Gheorghe Butuc three-bet to 88,000 from the big blind.

Butuc checked the 10♠7♣8♣ flop, so Sow took this opportunity to bet 65,000. He fired a second barrel on the J♦ turn, then Butuc check-raised all-in for approximately 350,000. Sow snap-called.

Gheoghe Butuc: A♣J♣ All in
Kalidou Sow: Q♣9♣

Sow hit a straight on the turn. Butuc had top pair, and could still hope for clubs to complete his flush. But the 5♦ came on the river and Butuc was eliminated.
