With three players seeing a board of 7♠9♥10♣J♣ and around 500,000 in the middle, Nicolae Paunescu checked from the big blind, Ruslan Bakhtiev checked from the hijack and a player on the button checked in position.
Paunescu bet 150,000 on the 3♠ turn. Bakhtiev called while the player on the button got out of the way. Paunescu turned over a straight with 8♥7♥ for the winner and took the pot.
Dimitrios Barmpathanasis opened to 60,000 from the cutoff and received calls from a player in the small blind and Nichan Khorchidian in the big blind.
The flop came A♦A♠8♦. The small blind checked, Barmpathanasis bet 55,000, Khorchidian called and the small blind folded.
Barmpathanasis continued for 125,000 when checked to on the 6♦ turn and this time it was enough to force a fold from Khorchidian.
Felipe Ketzer opened to 60,000 from middle position and was called by Nicolae Paunescu in the big blind.
The flop came K♠9♣4♠ and Paunescu check-called a 45,000 bet from Ketzer.
Both players checked the J♣ turn leading to the 2♠ river. Paunescu checked, Ketzer bet 385,000 and Paunescu folded.
Igor Abelmasov moved all-in for around 400,00 from late position and got put at risk by Ruslan Bakhtiev.
Igor Abelmasov: Q♥10♣
Ruslan Bakhtiev: A♦Q♠
Abelmasov was in a sticky situation, but saw light at the end of the tunnel as the J♣8♣J♥ flop gave him a gutshot. More outs appeared on the 5♣ turn as he picked up a flush draw, however the 6♦ river was a brick, and Abelmasov hit the rail.
Level: 24
Blinds: 15,000/30,000
Ante: 30,000
Players are on their last 15-minute break of the day. When they return, two more levels will be played before the survivors bag up.
Roman Gadzhiev opened to 50,000 from middle position and Naji Tannoury three-bet the hijack to 175,000. When it got back to Gadzhiev, he called.
On the 10♦4♠2♣ flop, Gadzhiev checked it over to Tannoury, whose continuation-bet of 235,000 did the trick as Gadzhiev quickly folded.
