Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Blaz Zerjav opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 240,000. He was called by Fahredin Mustafov in the hijack, and the big blind Rokas Asipauskas.

After the flop came 6♥6♠7♦ Asipauskas decided to lead out for a bet of 200,000. Zerjav folded, and Mustafov made the call.

The turn brought the 5♠ and Asipauskas continued to bet, this time for 450,000. Mustafov gave it a quick thought before mucking his hand to give the pot to Asipauskas.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Blaz Zerjav raised to 240,000 from the cutoff and Lei Yu defended the big blind to see a flop of A♣2♦K♣.

Yu checked, Zerjav bet 150,000, and Yu check-raised to 410,000. Zerjav called and the 2♠ appeared on the turn.

Yu returned to checking but called when Zerjav bet 350,000, which brought about the 2♣ on the river.

Both players quickly checked and Yu showed the J♣5♣ for a flush, but it was no good as Zerjav had a full house with his K♥8♠.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Fahredin Mustafov raised to 240,000 from under the gun, which was called by Blaz Zerjav in the big blind.

After the K♣6♥8♠ flop, Zerjav check-called a bet of 160,000 from Mustafov.

The turn brought the 3♣ and after Zerjav checked, Mustafov sized up to 575,000. Zerjav thought over his decision momentarily, before mucking his cards to give the pot to Mustafov.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Blaz Zerjav raised to 240,000 from the button and Fahredin Mustafov three-bet to 620,000 from the small blind. Zerjav called and then called a bet of 280,000 on the 10♦6♣Q♥ flop.

When the 8♠ appeared on the turn, Mustafov checked and Zerjav bet 350,000. Mustafov then sprung to life with an all-in check-raise for approximately 1.65 million and Zerjav snap-called.

Fahredin Mustafov: A♦9♦ All in
Blaz Zerjav: 10♥10♠

Zerjav had flopped another set but Mustafov was drawing live as he had opted to get aggressive with his turned double gutshot straight draw.

Mustafov was looking for either a jack or seven, but he was left wanting as the A♠ completed the board on the river.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Vlad Darie raised to 300,000 from the hijack, and when it folded to the small blind Bruno Volkmann, he three-bet all in for his stack of 380,000. Once the big blind folded, Darie quickly called to put Volkmann at risk.

Bruno Volkmann: A♥6♠ All in
Vlad Darie: A♦5♠

Volkmann had Darie dominated, but when the board ran out 5♦10♦8♦4♣3♠ Darie flopped a five to take the pot, and knock out Volkmann in fifth place.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Blaz Zerjav opened with a raise only to have Vlad Darie, the last remaining bracelet winner, three-bet big from the small blind for roughly half his stack. Rokas Asipauskas then four-bet jammed all in from the big, Zerjav folded, and Darie, who had a big portion of his chips already committed, called off for 2.61 million.

Vlad Darie: K♦Q♦ All in
Rokas Asipauskas: A♥K♥

Darie was dominated and things got worse when the 9♣9♥A♦ flop paired the ace of Asipauskas. Darie needed to catch runner-runner, but the 3♥ turn took away and chance of that happening.

The meaningless 4♦ was run out on the river and Darie exited in fourth place, thus ensuring yet another first-time bracelet winner down here at the WSOP Paradise.
