There are two former Unibet Open champions remaining and Martin Soukup has sent yet another opponent to the rail to further build his bid to earn a second title.

Dmitrii Prusov: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Martin Soukup: {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

The board came {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}{5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Soukup paired his queen to eliminate Prusov in 21st place for €3,410.

Razvan Bizera
Razvan Bizera

Martin Soukup opened to 25,000 in the cutoff and was called by Razvan Bizera in the big blind. They headed to the {J-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop, on which Bizera check-shoved into a bet of 35,000 for around 170,000. Soukup made the call and Bizera was in dire shape.

Razvan Bizera: {K-Clubs}{2-Hearts}
Martin Soukup: {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

The {A-Diamonds} turn gave Bizera some chop outs, but the {3-Hearts} river was a blank to send Bizera to the rail in 23rd place for €3,410

Tomas Montrimas jammed with the {A-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Denis Simionel did so with the {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}, forcing out Oerjahn Winther with pocket tens. The board came {10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{K-Spades}{7-Hearts} and Montrimas lived another day.

Right after, Alan Widmann got his last 162,000 in preflop and again it was Montrimas involved in the showdown.

Alan Widmann: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}
Tomas Montrimas: {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}

The board came {K-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and that spelled the end for the online streamer also known as "hotted89".

Dara O'Kearney Eliminated

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Dara O'Kearney
Dara O'Kearney

The legendary short stack grind of Dara O'Kearney has come to an end. Coming into the day with 47 players remaining and 3,000 in chips, he made two pay jumps and just busted in 29th place.

O'Kearney in the big blind jammed with {A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} into the {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} of Denis Simionel and the board came {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{Q-Spades} to send the Irishman to the rail. New chip leader on the feature table is Razvan Sabau, who had the most chips at the start of the day already.

Second Pay Jump for O'Kearney; Murariu Eliminated

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Dan Murariu
Dan Murariu

Mihnea Potcoava was eliminated on the feature table and Dan Murariu got his last nine big blinds in first to act with {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} on the outer tables only to see big stack Cristian Grecu call with {Q-Hearts}{7-Hearts} in the big blinds. An {A-}{9-}{9-} flop provided an additional threat for Murariu and he fell behind when a queen appeared on the turn, the river was a blank.

There are only 31 players remaining and that means Dara O'Kearney has made the second pay jump.

More O'Kearney Madness; Jorstad Doubles

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Espen Uhlen Jorstad
Espen Uhlen Jorstad

Espen Uhlen Jorstad doubled after getting his stack in with {A-Hearts}{A-Spades} against the {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} of Silviu Baltateanu and the board came {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts}{7-Hearts}.

On the feature table, the Dara O'Kearney madness continued when he doubled through Adrian-Sorel State with {K-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} versus {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}, the board came {Q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{8-Clubs}.

State busted right after with another bad beat story, as his {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for fewer than two big blinds came short against Alan Widmann's {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} on a board of {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{8-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}.

In the meanwhile, Jean-Serge Baril had also ran out of chips on the outer tables. He jammed with {K-Hearts}{9-Spades} against the {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts} of Denis Simionel and found no help on a board of {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. Aku Joentausta has also vanished from the feature table and O'Kearney now has almost 20 big blinds and eyes another pay jump.

Early Bustout Bonanza

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Dara O'Kearney
Dara O'Kearney

Antti Tinainen doubled with ace-king versus ace-jack and then bowed out before Andrei Dobrescu was eliminated by Traian Bostan when he shoved with {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} and Bostan called with {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. The board came {Q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{6-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} and that was it for Dobrescu.

"Sixty-nine, nice," Toni Judet joked and earned smiles from the entire table.

Stefan Drusca won a flip with {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} against the {K-Spades}{Q-Spades} of Iulian Bleau and that reduced the field further.

In the meanwhile, Dara O'Kearney won his first two all in. First he flopped a boat with {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} versus {A-Clubs}{2-Spades} on a board {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{J-Clubs}. Then he also held up with pocket fours and climbed to 20,000. Because of the bustout bonanza, he turned three eighth of a big blind into a pay jump ... the grand master of short stack nursery strikes again.
