Level 28 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Sebastian Ionita raised his button to 1,200,000 before Sergey Aleksandrov moved all in for 7,800,000 from the big blind. A swift call followed from Ionita, who had his opponent covered.

Sergey Aleksandrov: A♥6♠ All in
Sebastian Ionita: A♠J♥

The 4♠8♠4♥ flop brought some chop outs for Alexandrov, with the 2♠ turn providing some more. The 10♣ river was a brick, however, sending Aleksandrov to the rail in 16th place.

Level 28 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Aleksandr Kirichenko pushed in his last 2,200,000 from the cutoff and was called by his nemesis Vlado Banicevic, in the small blind.

Aleksandr Kirichenko: A♦10♣ All in
Vlado Banicevic: K♣J♠

Kirichenko was drawing dead after the 5♦J♥J♦10♥ turn, with Banicevic's flopped trips making a full house on the K♦ river to make Kirichenko's departure official.

Level 28 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Aleksandr Kirichenko was on the button and raised to 1,200,000. Vlado Banicevic defended his big blind, leading to a flop of 9♥10♦2♦ on the table.

Banicevic checked, and Kirichenko bet 1,700,000. Banicevic then jammed all in for 7,200,000, being snapped off by his opponent.

Vlado Banicevic: Q♦J♠ All in
Aleksandr Kirichenko: K♣10♣

Banicevic's straight came in on the K♠ turn, and the 6♥ river did not give Kirichenko a full house. Banicevic doubled to a stack of nearly 30 big blinds, while Kirichenko was left with crumbs.

Vlado Banicevic	17,700,000 8,700,000	8,700,000

Level 27 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Arriving on a flop of 10♥3♦6♦, Alexandru Lupuleac checked from the big blind to Sebastian Ionita in the hijack, who checked back.

Lupuleac then put in a big bet of 2,100,000 on the 2♠ turn, which Ionita called. The J♦ river saw Sebastian make an all-in over-bet, putting his opponent at risk for 9,150,000.

Ionita spent some minutes in the tank before committing a call. Lupuleac could only show ace-high with his A♦4♥, which Ionita beat with Q♣10♣ for second pair, doubling him up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Sebastian Ionita	25,250,000 11,000,000	11,000,000
Alexandru Lupuleac	17,300,000 8,150,000	8,150,000
