Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Ignotas Tamasauskas min-raised from the button to 40,000 with Tomas Flanagan defending from the big blind.

After the dealer fanned out the 6♥5♥3♣ flop, Flanagan shoved for roughly 180,000. Tamasauskas snap-called to put him at risk.

Tomas Flanagan: J♥7♠ All in
Ignotas Tamasauskas: A♦A♠

Flanagan needed to find a four or running hearts to survive. The 10♥ turn provided him with a flush draw, but the 5♣ river was a brick and all of Flanagan's chips were sent over to Tamasauskas.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Alec Torelli opened to 40,000 from middle position and he was only called by Leo Worthington-Leese on the button.

The dealer fanned a flop of 5♣3♠8♦ and Torelli bet 57,000. Worthington-Leese called to find the 2♥ turn where Torelli fired a second barrel of 115,000. Worthington-Leese called again.

On the K♥ river, Torelli looked at his stack and moved all-in for 441,000. Worthington-Leese looked at his cards, went deep into the tank but folded.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Mark Buckley limped from the button before Tomas Flanagan called from the small blind and Florian Fuchs checked his option out of the big blind.

The Q♠3♥J♥ flopp was checked to Buckley and he put out a bet of roughly 25,000. Flanagan folded, but Fuchs called.

The 10♣ dropped on the turn and Fuchs check-called a bet of 69,000 from Buckley.

After the dealer laid out the 4♠ on the river, Fuchs checked, and faced a bet of 237,000 from Buckley. Fuchs thought for a few moments before flicking in the call. Buckley turned over the nut straight with A♦K♠ and pulled in the pot.

Mark Buckley	1,900,000 550,000	550,000

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Ignas Navickas opened from the button and faced Alec Torelli who defended from the big blind.

He continued for 25,000 on the 5♦4♦4♠ flop, but Torelli check-raised to 65,000. Navickas called.

Torelli checked the 9♥ turn, so Navickas took this opportunity to bet 58,000. Torelli folded and the table broke after this hand.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Vasilijus Piskunovas raised to 40,000 from the cutoff before Eoghan O'Dea shoved from the big blind for 240,000. Piskunovas called.

Eoghan O'Dea: K♦Q♥ All in
Vasilijus Piskunovas: 9♥9♦

It was a race that O'Dea had to win to survive. The monotone flop of J♠A♠6♠ fell, which gave O'Dea a few more outs. However, the 7♦ turn or 8♦ river didn't improve O'Dea and he was out of the tournament in seventeenth place.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

On the very first hand of the day, Sam Dobbins got his last 51,000 into the middle from the button with Rafael Golka being the player trying to bust him.

Sam Dobbins: K♥2♥ All in
Rafael Golka: A♦7♣

Dobbins couldn't't find the help he needed to survive on the A♣J♦10♠8♣8♦ runout, as Golka hit top pair and sent Dobbins to the payout desk.
