Level 9
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
From the hijack, Sertac Topal came in for a raise to 2,100 and only Giulio Gallo called from the big blind.
Gallo started out with a check on the K♣8♠10♥ flop and Topal fired out a bet of 2,200. Gallo stuck around with a call.
The 2♠ hit the turn and Gallo knuckled the action over to Topal for a second time. Topal bet 5,500, and once again, Gallo called.
A final check came from Gallo on the A♣ river, and this time Topal bet 3,500. This was enough to get Gallo to toss his cards away, surrendering the pot to Topal.

A three-way all-in just occurred on Table #6 with Urmo Velvelt having the chance to bust two players.
Grigoli Liklikadze: A♥K♥ 
Aleksandar Knezevic: Q♦Q♠
Urmo Velvelt: 6♠6♥
Knezevic had just reentered the tournament and was seated in the exact same seat where he had bluffed off his stack less than 20 minutes ago. This time, he had the goods with pocket queens, and if he found a safe runout, he would triple his stack.
The flop came down 9♣9♠5♥, which didn't help Liklikadze's big slick. Velvelt turned a boat when the 6♣ fell on the turn. A J♦ completed the board, and Velvelt sent Liklikadze and Knezevic to the showers.

: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Timur Margolin raised to 1,700 from middle position and Ermogenis Asprogenous called out of the cutoff. Aleksandar Knezevic squeezed it up to 6,700 from the small blind, which both players called.
Everyone checked the 5♦Q♦4♦ flop to see the 6♠ roll off on the turn. Knezevic announced a bet of 8,000 and only Margolin called.
The 3♦ rolled off on the river and Knezevic jammed for roughly 20,000. Margolin looked back at his cards and then quickly made the call.
Knezevic showed a complete airball with A♣J♠ and lost the pot to Margolin's K♦Q♥ for a king-high flush. Knezevic was out and Margolin closed in on 100,000 chips.

Erdal Gulseven raised to 1,600 from early position with Paul Grummitt and Belal Alnasseri calling out of the big blinds.
After two checks on the Q♠8♥8♣ flop, Gulseven put out a bet of 2,000, which only Grummitt called.
Grummitt checked again on the 3♥ turn, and Gulseven quickly fired for 4,000. Grummitt didn't take long to fold and showed the Q♣ for a pair of queens as the pot went over to Gulseven.

Volkan Yucel came in for a raise to 1,600 from the cutoff and only Uri Reichenstein called out of the big blind.
The two players were happy to check a board of 2♠9♦8♥K♣10♦ all the way to the river before Reichenstein decided to overbet for 7,000. Yucel raised to 22,000, which was enough to get a snap-fold from Reichenstein.

Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Timur Margolin raised to around 2,800 from the small blind and Artem Kulyk defended out of the big blind.
Upon seeing the K♠4♦2♥ flop, Margolin tossed out a bet of 2,200. Kulyk called.
A 6♦ hit the turn, causing Margolin to fire a second barrel, this time for 5,800. Again, Kulyk called.
The board-pairing 6♣ completed the board, and Margolin jammed for 22,400. Kulyk, with just 100 chips more than Margolin, mulled over the decision for quite some time. In the end, he settled on a call.
Margolin showed K♦Q♥ for top pair, and it was good to earn him the double up, as Kulyk had Q♠2♠ for bottom pair.
Margolin doubled to around 60,000, and Kulyk was eliminated a few hands later.

Belal Alnasseri made it roughly 1,700 on the button and Danilo Razic jammed out of the big blind for approximately 16,000. Alnasseri immediately called to put Razic at risk.
Danilo Razic: A♥2♥
Belal Alnasseri: A♠K♠
Razic was crushed with the inferior kicker, and he found no help through the 6♣Q♣10♥5♦6♦ runout. Razic headed to the rail, and Alnasseri's stack increased to 65,000.
