Steve "Mr. Tim Caum" O'Dwyer raised to 44,000 in the hijack and picked up a single caller in Tomi "elmerixx" Brouk on the button. O'Dwyer bet the {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} flop for 33,875 and check-called the {8-Clubs} turn for 66,000.

O'Dwyer also check-called the {7-Spades} river for 250,000 and mucked when Brouk tabled {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} for trips aces.

One hand later, Samuel "€urop€an" Vousden open-shoved for just shy of 10 blinds and was called by Brouk in the cutoff.

Samuel "€urop€an" Vousden: {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Tomi "elmerixx" Brouk: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

Vousden spiked top pair on the {a-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{10-Clubs} board and remained in contention.

Oliveira Back Above a Million

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 2,500 ante

A raise to 42,000 by Filipe "Zagazaur" Oliveira from under the gun was called by Steve "Mr. Tim Caum" O'Dwyer in the big blind, who then check-called for 36,795 on the {10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop.

Another check-call for 138,818 followed on the {7-Clubs} turn and the {5-Spades} river killed all further betting action. O'Dwyer tabled {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for a pair of tens and Oliveira had that beat with {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}.

Oliveira then won another smaller pot against fellow big stack Tomi "elmerixx" Brouk when his {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts} made top pair on a board of {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. Oliveira min-bet the flop, check-called a small bet and they checked it down on the river.

Mateos Eliminated by Kovalski

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 2,500 ante
Mateos eliminated by Kovalski
Mateos eliminated by Kovalski

At the very end of the previous level, Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos raised to 32,800 and Fabiano "Kovalski1" Kovalski defended the big blind. On a flop of {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{9-Spades}, Kovalski checked and called a bet of 44,676 to see the {5-Clubs} on the turn.

Kovalski checked once more and Mateos bet 128,000 with 337,839 behind, which then prompted the shove of Kovalski. After spending time in the think tank and using a portion of the time bank, Mateos called.

Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Fabiano "Kovalski1" Kovalski: {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Mateos still had some outs but missed them all on the {7-Hearts} river.

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
gcardenas10 eliminated
gcardenas10 eliminated

Sergi "srxakgirona" Reixach min-raised to 32,000 from under the gun and was called by "MaxHendrix" in the cutoff. On the button, "gcardenas10" moved all in for the last 285,977 and "SmilleThHero" called for fewer than that out of the big blind. Both bigger stacks got out of the way.

"SmilleThHero": {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
"gcardenas10": {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

On a board of {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{7-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Spades}, the comeback of "SmilleThHero" continued as he more than doubled.

In the very next hand, "MaxHendrix" raised and "gcardenas10" called all-in from the cutoff.

"gcardenas": {j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
"MaxHendrix: {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

The board ran out {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades} and the ace on the flop sent "gcardenas10" out in 15th place.

Doubles For "SmilleThHero" and Proudfoot

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
SmilleThHero vs Sintoras
SmilleThHero vs Sintoras

"SmilleThHero" raised to 109,255 and left a single chip behind, which "Sintoras" called on the button.

The last chip went in after the {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop and "SmilleThHero" was trailing with the {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}, as "Sintoras" had flopped the nuts with {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}. However, the {q-Diamonds} turn and {k-Clubs} river gave "SmilleThHero" a full double.

Over on the other table, Jonathan "Proudflop" Proudfoot was at risk with {k-Clubs}{6-Clubs} against the {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} of Filipe "Zagazaur" Oliveira and got there thanks to the {k-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} board.

New big stack there is Steve "Mr. Tim Caum" O'Dwyer who won a pot of nearly 1 million with {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for two pair on the {j-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} board as the move of Tomi "elmerixx" Brouk with {k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} went wrong.

Vousden Doubles Through O'Dwyer

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Steve "Mr. Tim Caum" O'Dwyer raised to 35,200 from under the gun and was called by Samuel "€urop€an" Vousden in the big blind. On a flop of {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, Vousden check-called all in for 82,829 as O'Dwyer bet 92,400.

Samuel "€urop€an" Vousden: {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Steve "Mr. Tim Caum" O'Dwyer: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

The {8-Hearts} turn instantly granted Vousden trips and the double as a meaningless {10-Hearts} fell on the river.
