Level 26 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Yiwen Yuan opened to 800,000 from middle position with J♦10♦ and called when Mohamed El-Wely three-bet to 2,100,000 from the hijack with A♥J♣ .

The flop fell 7♦K♦2♦, on which Yuan check-called El-Wely's continuation-bet of 1,125,000. Yuan checked her flush again on the Q♥ turn, but this time El-Wely checked behind.

On the subsequent 8♥ river, Yuan fired 2,125,000 into the pot. El-Wely mucked his ace-high, and the chips were shipped to Yuan.

Paulius Vaitiekunas made it 800,000 to go from middle position, Mahmoud Bedoui was in the small blind and three-bet to 2,700,000, and Vaitiekunas four-bet jammed for 10,100,000.

Bedoui quickly called, covering his opponent twice over.

Paulius Vaitiekunas: A♣K♥ All in
Mahmoud Bedoui: Q♠Q♦

Vaitiekunas took the lead on the K♣4♣7♠ flop, and the 10♣ turn left Bedoui with just one out. It did not come on the 10♠ river, and the player virtually switched stacks as a result.

The action was picked up with Alex Anton all in for 11,400,000 in the big blind, and he was at risk against Nikita Kuznetsov in the cutoff.

Alex Anton: A♥A♣ All in
Nikita Kuznetsov: 9♥9♣

Kuznetsov flopped a gutshot on 10♣Q♦8♠ and gained more outs on the 7♠ turn. However, the K♥ river was innocent enough, so Anton's aces doubled him up.

Level 26 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Yiwen Yuan made it a cool 1,000,000 on the button, and Mohamed El-Wely called in the small blind. El-Wely led out for 700,000 on the 10♣K♥J♠ flop, which got Yuan to put in a raise to 1,800,000.

El-Wely just called, after which he checked the 8♠ turn. Yuan sized up to 2,400,000, and El-Wely pressed the call button again.

The 4♦ river then checked to showdown. El-Wely revealed K♠J♥ for two pair, and Yuan tossed her A♣5♠ straight into the muck.

Level 25 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Mikita Badziakouski open-shoved his 1,450,000 chips on the button, and Juho Suutari looked him up from the small blind.

Mikita Badziakouski: 10♦9♠
Juho Suutari: A♣7♥

The 6♠8♠5♥ flop strengthened Suutari's position, but Badziakouski hit a pair on the 10♣ turn. The K♥ river did not change anything, so Badziakouski doubled up.

On the first hand, Jon Vallinas Santos open-raised Q♠9♠ to 600,000 from the cutoff, and Yiwen Yuan defended her big blind with 8♣6♠. Both players checked the 5♠5♣8♠ flop, prompting Yuan to bet 900,000 on the 6♦ turn.

Vallinas floated to the J♣ river, but he folded his queen-high when Yuan upped her sizing to 2,500,000.
