Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Kenar Zemin was chip leading when he opened from early position to 50,000. It folded to Oleg Netaliev on the button who called and the blinds folded.
The 2♠A♦10♦ flop landed and Zemin continued for 50,000. Netaliev sat in the tank for a moment before gathering enough chips to put in a chuncky raise of 175,000.
It was back on Zemin who tanked for a minute and appeared to be skeptical. Eventually he found a fold.
As the pot was being pushed to Netaliev, Zemin asked "Flush draw?"
Netaliev shook his head, no, and smiled as he stacked his chips.

Sinead Priestley opened to 50,000 from middle position and Dmitry Yurasov three-bet to 150,000 from the hijack. Baris Caliskan called in the cutoff only for Priestley to move all in, covering both opponents. Yurasov opted to fold while Caliskan called off for roughly 700,000, putting himself at risk.
Baris Caliskan: Q♥Q♠
Sinead Priestley: A♠A♣
Yurasov let out a triumphant "Yes!", standing up from his seat as soon as he saw Priestley's aces and knew that he made the correct fold.
The board ran out 4♣4♦8♣6♠2♦. Priestley remained ahead with the best hand to take down a massive pot. Afterwards Yurasov would tell his tablemates that he had folded pocket kings.

Damir Gabdullin moved all in from middle position for 65,000 before Baurzhan Akimov clicked it to 110,000. The action was then on the next player to act, Jenya Gavrilovich who put in another raise to 250,000.
It folded back to Akimov who shipped it in for 500,000 effective. Gavrilovich was then at risk but after a moment he flicked in a call and the cards hit their backs.
Damir Gabdullin: K♣9♦
Jenya Gavrilovich: J♠J♣
Baurzhan Akimov: A♦A♣
The full board ran out 2♥A♠8♦5♦7♥ and Akimov sent two players to the rail with the rockets.

With three players seeing a board of K♦3♦4♥, Razvan Sabau checked in the small blind, Victor Yugay checked in the big blind and Shuang Luo checked on the button.
On the J♥ turn Sabau checked again and Yugay bet 110,000. Luo got out of the way while Sabau made the call.
Sabau checked once more on the Q♣ river. Yugay bet 265,000 and this time it was enough to force a fold from Sabau.
Meanwhile at the same table, Romain Retiere has started to mount a comeback after being left with just one big blind 90 minutes ago.

There was a middle position open to 60,000 before the action was on Nuno Correia in the cutoff who put in a three-bet to 155,000. It folded back to middle position who called and they were off to a flop heads up.
The 6♥K♠2♠ flop landed and the action quickly checked through to a J♥ turn.
The middle position player opted to take the betting lead with a wager of 75,000. Without wasting much time Correia put in a raise to 220,000. His opponent actually cut out reraising chips but eventually landed on just calling.
The 2♦ landed on the river and the action checked through. Middle position tabled J♠7♠ for a turned pair and flush draw and Correia tabled K♣Q♥ for a sneaky flop check and a great turn value raise.
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Both players checked the 6♦5♥9♣ flop leading to the Q♦ turn. Popot bet 55,000, Leantzis raised to 200,000 and Popot made the call.
Both players checked the 6♥ river. Popot tabled Q♠10♠ for two pair to take the pot.
