Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Aydin Aydin raised to 6,000 from middle position with Yesset Aimukhanov calling from the hijack. Tibor Nyuli jammed for 40,000 from the button, and only Aydin called to put him at risk.

Tibor Nyuli: A♦A♠ All in
Aydin Aydin: 4♥4♦

Nyuli found aces at the perfect time and would double up to around the starting stack if his aces held up. A clean runout of 2♦9♠10♦J♠8♥ kept Nyuli's aces ahead the whole way, earning him the much-needed double-up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Aydin Aydin	350,000 157,000	157,000
Tibor Nyuli	95,000
Yesset Aimukhanov	75,000 41,000	41,000

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Tobias Peters got all of his 74,000 chips into the middle preflop against Boban Zhivkovikj who had opened from middle position.

Tobias Peters: A♣J♥ All in
Boban Zhivkovikj: A♠K♥

Peters could find the help he needed to come from behind and beat the Big Slick of Zhivkovikj, as the board ran out K♠10♠4♠10♣8♦. With over 30 minutes of late registration still available, Peters will likely be back in the tournament shortly.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Dmitriy Kopyl raised to 6,000 from middle position with Nenad Dukic and Oshri Lahmani calling from the blinds.

When it checked to Kopyl on the J♥4♣6♣ flop, he bet 14,000, which was only called by Dukic.

Dukic knuckled the table again on the 7♥ turn, causing Kopyl to jam for around 35,000. Dukic instantly called.

Dmitriy Kopyl: Q♣Q♦ All in
Nenad Dukic: 6♠6♥

Kopyl was in rough shape with his queens against the set of Dukic. The J♣ river gave Dukic a full house, and Kopyl headed for the exit.

Player	Chips	Progress
Oshri Lahmani	225,000 81,500	81,500
Nenad Dukic	200,000 90,000	90,000

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Three players to the turn on a board of A♦10♥8♣7♣. Caner Gunes checked from the small blind, and Chakib M'Hiri fired out 45,000 from the cutoff. Jordan Westmorland called on the button, but Gunes folded.

M'Hiri decided to slow down and check the 10♣ river, prompting Westmorland to bet 95,000. After a brief pause, M'Hiri called, and was shown a full house by Westmorland with A♣A♠.

M'Hiri stated that Westmorland was behind on the turn, indicating he had jack-nine for the nut straight on the turn.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Marlo Sen min-raised to 5,000 from middle position with Konstantin Voronin calling from the small blind, and Antoine Farhat defending his big blind.

After the blinds checked the J♥2♥4♦ flop, Sen bet 5,000, and Voronin called. Farhat had other ideas as he check-raised to 17,000. Sen immediately folded, but Voronin back-raised to 55,000 with around 70,000 behind. Farhat let go of his hand and Voronin tabled Q♥10♥ for a flush draw.

Player	Chips	Progress
Marlo Sen	210,000 130,000	130,000
