Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Serdar Demircan pushed blind-on-blind into Bart van Dijk and the latter called all-in for 20,800 out of the big blind.

Bart van Dijk:
Serdar Demircan:

The board ran out and Van Dijk doubled.

Shortly after, Dara O'Kearney got a shove through to win the blinds and flashed ace-queen.

Van Dijk then opened to 3,000 in the cutoff and Siddhart Sudunagunta three-bet jammed for 23,200 on the button. O'Kearney called all-in for 14,700 in the big blind and Van Dijk folded.

Dara O'Kearney:
Siddhart Sudunagunta:

The pocket pair remained ahead throughout the board as short stack wizard O'Kearney doubled back to more than the starting stack again.

Siddhart Sudunagunta:
Dara O'Kearney:

Neither player connected with the board and that spelled the end for Sudunagunta.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

"I lose every fuckin all-in, unbelievable. Three outs and you hit instantly," a very frustrated Serdar Demircan gasped when he got it all-in before the flop against Bart van Dijk for 37,800.

Bart van Dijk:
Serdar Demircan:

The frustration was triggered by the flop, as neither the turn nor river changed anything whatsoever.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Jukka Vainio took on Andreas Moser when he jammed the river for pretty much the size of the pot. The Austrian gave it some thought and folded while the stoic Finn raked in the pot without giving away anything at all.

Geert Leerman then got a shove through with a very short stack, shaking his head. Moments later, the Belgian was gone. His cards were in the muck already as Vainio dragged in the pot with on a board.

Jason Smyth also departed from a nearby table as well. He bumped fists with five of his seven opponents and jokingly apologised towards the two big stacks Dylan Kirstein as well as Alexis Longhe because they had literally just arrived a few minutes ago. Smyth left the table with a smile on the face and even fist-bumped the dealer on his way out as well.
