Level 20 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Ottomar Ladva raised to 200,000 on the button and Jessica Teusl called in the big blind.

Both players checked the 8♠8♥6♠ flop. Ladva then bet 150,000 on the 2♠ turn, and Teusl called.

The 3♠ river was checked down, and Teusl's A♣7♣ was good enough to win the pot.

A few hands later, Teusl opened to 205,000 on the button and received a call from Mikalai Vaskaboinikau in the big blind.

Teusl continued for 200,000 on the 9♠2♥8♣ flop and Vaskaboinikau called. They checked down the 10♣ turn and 4♥ river, and Teusl showed K♥9♦ for a pair of nines to win another pot.

Level 20 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

When it folded to Pieter Aerts in the small blind, he shoved all in for about 2,300,000, and Boris Kolev snap-called from the big blind for roughly half his stack.

Pieter Aerts: A♠7♥ All in
Boris Kolev: A♣10♣

Kolev had the better ace-high, and if there was no seven on the runout, the tournament would be down to the final table bubble.

The flop of 5♣9♠Q♠ kept Kolev out in front. Although the A♦ turn gave Aerts some chop opportunities.

But, the Q♥ arrived on the river, meaning Kolev's ten-kicker played, and Aerts was gone in 11th place.

Level 20 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Kirill Shcherbakov raised to 200,000 under the gun and Patrik Antonius defended from the big blind.

The flop of 9♥3♦9♠ was fanned out by the dealer and Antonius checked. Shcherbakov bet 175,000, which Antonius called.

A Q♣ on the turn resulted in another check-call from Antonius, this time for 350,000.

The Q♦ river double-paired the board, and Antonius checked again. Shcherbakov used a time bank before betting 1,125,000, and after giving it a little bit of thought, Antonius tossed his cards away.

At the other table, Kenar three-bet folded for around a third of his stack after Matthias Lipp four-bet jammed.

Player	Chips	Progress
Patrik Antonius	8,500,000 500,000	500,000

Kirill Shcherbakov	3,700,000 400,000	400,000
Matthias Lipp	3,200,000 1,000,000	1,000,000
Kenar	1,500,000 1,400,000	1,400,000

Level 20 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Patrik Antonius raised to 210,000 in the hijack and Boris Kolev called in the big blind.

The flop came 8♣2♠4♥ and Antonius bet 200,000. Kolev called, and the 6♦ fell on the turn.

Antonius then bet 800,000, and Kolev again called. Both players checked the 4♦ river, and Kolev showed 7♦7♣. Antonius, though, had A♠8♥ for two pair to win the pot.

Level 20 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Ottomar Ladva raised to 200,000 on the button and Matthias Lipp three-bet to 900,000 in the small blind. Ladva then moved all in. Alexey Borovkov was all in on the other table, and Lipp asked the dealer to count out Ladva's much bigger stack as he waited out the other hand. He eventually called for an additional 195,000.

Matthias Lipp: 5♥5♠ All in
Ottomar Ladva: A♠3♥

Lipp was ahead with his fives, and the 9♦8♥6♦2♥J♠ board kept him in the lead to earn him a double up.

A few hands later, Ladva opened to 200,000 again in the hijack and Geoffrey Mooney called in the big blind.

Ladva continued for 140,000 on the 9♦2♠4♥ flop, and Mooney called. Ladva bet 540,000 on the A♦ turn, and Mooney again called.

The river was the 8♥ and Mooney led out for 1,000,000. Ladva quickly folded as he took another hit to his stack.

Ottomar Ladva	5,000,000 1,700,000	1,700,000
Geoffrey Mooney	4,500,000 300,000	300,000

Alexey Borovkov Eliminated in 12th Place ($75,000)

Level 20 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Alexey Borovkov raised to 225,000 from the cutoff and Patrik Antonius three-bet to 750,000 out of the small blind. Borovkov four-bet ripped it four around 3,200,000, and Antonius snap-called.

Alexey Borovkov: 9♠9♦ All in
Patrik Antonius: K♣K♥

Borovkov started the day as the chip leader and was now likely to be the next casualty of the Main Event.

The 2♥5♥5♠ flop didn't change anything, and neither did the 4♣ on the turn.

Borovkov needed to spike a two-outer on the river to crack Antonius' kings.

It wasn't to be as the Q♦ completed the board and Borovkov was out in 12th, while Antonius became the new chip leader.

"I used to watch you on TV eating. Now you're still eating, only I'm watching it live," Daniil Kiselev said to Patrik Antonius.

Meanwhile, Pieter Aerts had opened to 200,000 on the button and Alexey Borovkov called in the big blind.

The flop came 10♣9♥3♣ and Aerts bet 175,000. Borovkov then raised to 475,000, and Aerts moved all in for 1,370,000. Borovkov called.

Pieter Aerts: J♥8♥ All in
Alexey Borovkov: 7♣2♣

Both players were on draws, but it was Aerts who ended up with a pair as the board ran out 4♦8♦ to secure him a double up.

"In your opinion, who was the best in those cash games 15 years ago? Sorry, second best after yourself," Kiselev continued the conversation with Antonius, and Antonius replied Phil Ivey.

Level 20 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Ottomar Ladva made it 200,000 from the hijack before Kenar three-bet the button to 600,000. Geoffrey Mooney four-bet jammed for 2,630,000 from the big blind, and everyone else folded.

On the next hand, Kenar made it 200,000 out of the cutoff with Mooney calling from the small blind, and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau defending out of the big blind.

When it got to Kenar on the 8♠7♣Q♠ flop, he bet 250,000, which only Mooney called.

Check, check came after the 3♦ turn and 2♠ river. Mooney showed K♥Q♥ for a pair of queens, and Kenar mucked.
