Chip Leader Runs into Kings
Level 42
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante
Action was opened by "LUCKXXXL" in the hijack to 240,000. "Znaso", the cutoff, put in a three bet to 672,000. Then, the chip leader "Sodaski" moved all in on the button. Action folded back around to "Znaso", who made the call with 3,046,030.
"Znaso": K♦K♥
"Sodaski": 10♣10♠
The chip leader was already in rough shape, but the K♣3♠A♠ flop left them drawing thin, and drawing dead after the 4♦ turn. The 8♣ completed the board, sending the pot to "Znaso".

Flop Raise Wins Chip Lead
Level 43
: Blinds 70,000/140,000, 17,500 ante
"Taurus1727" opened to 280,000 from late position. "Refdontlie", in the cutoff, and Alexandru "JustPray" Marcu, on the button, both called before Luiz "Giant_Santos" Constantino put in a raise to 1,246,000. Action folded back to Marcu, who made the call.
After a bet of 1,000,685 on the 9♠8♦5♦ flop from Constantino, Marcu raised to 3,360,000. This was too much for Constantino, who folded. The pot went to Marcu, enough to push him into the tournament chip lead.
