David Salituro

Level 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Laszlo Bujtas raised to 175,000 in the cutoff and Belarmino De Souza and Thomas Eychenne came along from the blinds.

The flop came A♠8♦5♦ and Bujtas bet 175,000. De Souza then raised to 700,000 in the small blind and Eychenne folded, but Bujtas moved all in for 1,480,000. De Souza quickly called.

Laszlo Bujtas: A♦K♣10♦2♥ All in
Belarmino De Souza: 8♠8♥2♦2♠

Bujtas was looking to complete a flush draw against De Souza's top set, and the Q♦ fell on the turn to give him his flush. The river was the 2♣ and Bujtas doubled up.

Level 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Aren Bezhanyan raised under the gun to 175,000 and only Tom Vogelsang called from the big blind.

Vogelsang bet around the size of the pot on the K♥3♠7♠ flop, and Bezhanyan jammed, covering Vogelsang. Vogelsang called for his stack of 623,000 total and the players showed their cards.

Tom Vogelsang: 9♠9♦6♥5♠ All in
Aren Bezhanyan: K♣K♦Q♥6♣

Vogelsan had a flush draw against the top set of Bezhanyan.

Vogelsang received instant service on the Q♠ turn by improving to a flush.

Bezhanyan couldn't pair up on the 10♥ river and Vogelsang stayed alive in the tournament.

Level 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Laszlo Bujtas limped under the gun and Belarmino De Souza raised to 225,000 on the button. Bujtas called and the two players saw a flop of 9♣7♦K♣ fall.

Bujtas checked, and De Souza bet the pot. Bujtas jammed for 640,000, and De Souza called.

Laszlo Bujtas: K♦Q♣10♦10♥ All in
Belarmino De Souza: A♥A♣J♦5♦

De Souza had aces, although Bujtas had outs with two more cards to come

A J♥ rolled off on the turn to give Bujtas the nuts, cementing his double up, and the 7♣ to complete the board was just a necessity.

Belarmino De Souza	4,100,000 900,000	900,000

Espen Sandvik raised to 175,000 under the gun and Artur Vyborov called in the cutoff. Joni Jouhkimainen then reraised to 725,000 in the big blind, and Sandvik burned through a few time banks before folding. Vyborov also gave up his hand.

The next hand at this table, Aren Bezhanyan raised to 175,000 on the button and Sandvik reraised to 550,000 in the big blind. Bezhanyan moved all in, and Sandvik tossed in 15,000 more.

Espen Sandvik: A♥Q♥J♣7♥ All in
Aren Bezhanyan: K♣Q♣J♥10♥

The flop came 2♠4♣10♣, while the 3♣ turn gave Bezhanyan a flush as Sandvik already turned his cards over and tossed them into the muck. The river was the 4♦ and Sandvik headed to the exit in 11th place.

Level 20 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Belarmino De Souza raised to 140,000 from the hijack and Carlo van Ravenswoud jammed for 405,000 from the big blind. After using up two of his time banks, De Souza stuck in the call.

Carlo van Ravenswoud: A♥A♣Q♠5♥ All in
Belarmino De Souza: A♦K♦10♦5♦

Van Ravenswoud had the advantage with aces, but the 5♠K♣2♣ flop changed that as De Souza hit two pair.

A K♠ fell on the turn, giving De Souza a boat, meaning Van Ravenswoud needed to hit a one-outer on the river.

It wasn't to be as the 4♦ completed the board, and Van Ravenswoud headed to the exit in 12th place.

Arie Ori Miller limped in from the small blind before Artur Vyborov raised to 120,000 in the big blind. Miller called.

Both players checked the 10♦6♣9♦ flop, and Vyborov then bet 65,000 on the Q♦ turn. Miller called, and the K♣ fell on the river.

Vyborov then bet 175,000, and Miller took a minute before calling with K♠J♣10♣2♣ for a straight. Vyborov mucked.

At the other table, Belarmino De Souza bet 110,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 10♠2♦2♥ and Thomas Eychenne called on the button.

The turn was the 8♦ and De Souza bet another 350,000. Eychenne again called, and they checked down the 5♥ river.

De Souza showed A♦J♦9♣6♦, while Eychenne had K♠Q♥Q♣9♠ and won the pot with his queens.

Quan Zhou made it 160,000 on the button before Daniel Rezaei three-bet to 640,000 out of the small blind. Belarmino De Souza cold-called from the big blind, and Zhou folded.

The dealer spread out the 7♠K♠Q♥ flop and Rezaei jammed for around 900,000. De Souza snap-called.

Daniel Rezaei: A♦A♠8♠7♥ All in
Belarmino De Souza: K♥10♥7♦6♠

Rezaei had aces with a flush draw against the top and bottom pair of De Souza.

A 4♣ on the turn didn't change anything, and neither did the K♦ river, which improved De Souza to a boat.

Rezaei headed to the cashier's desk to claim his 13th-place payout and De Souza was up to roughly 4,600,000.
