David Salituro

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

In a limped pot between the blinds, Michael Addamo bet 25,000 on a flop of A♥Q♣8♣ and Mikita Badziakouski raised to 75,000. Addamo called and the A♠ fell on the turn.

Badziakouski slowed down and checked as Addamo bet another 75,000. Badziakouski just called this time and the 4♣ fell on the river.

Badziakouski checked again and Addamo bet 300,000. Badziakouski called and Addamo showed 9♣5♣ for a flush, but Badziakouski had J♣7♣ for a better flush to win the big pot.

Heads up on a flop of J♠5♥4♥, Dominykas Mikolaitis bet 40,000 from the button and Mario Mosboeck raised to 125,000 in the big blind. Mikolaitis called and the 9♥ fell on the turn.

Mosboeck slowed down and checked, and Mikolaitis then moved all in. Mosboeck snap-called for his last 295,000 with K♥Q♥ for a flush, and Mikolaitis was already drawing dead holding K♠J♦.

The river was the 8♥ and Mosboeck doubled up.

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action folded to Alexander Zubov who limped in from the small blind. Michael Moncek then raised to 120,000 in the big blind and Zubov came back with a reraise to 350,000. Moncek quickly slid forward his entire stack and Zubov snap-called for 1,405,000 to create the biggest pot of the tournament so far.

Alexander Zubov: Q♣Q♦ All in
Michael Moncek: K♦3♥

Moncek had been caught making a big move as he had most of his chips at risk against Zubov's queens. The 9♦7♠2♣J♠7♥ board provided Moncek no help as Zubov earned the massive double up, leaving Moncek with just one big blind.

Moncek was all in the next hand with Q♦9♣ and up against Stephen Song's 8♥8♣. Moncek hit two pair on a board of Q♣9♠7♣5♣, but Song spiked the 8♠ on the river to make a set and send Moncek to the rail.

Alexander Zubov	2,800,000 1,600,000	1,600,000
Stephen Song	1,000,000 200,000	200,000

Action folded to David Yan who moved all in from the small blind. Jans Arends called for his last 230,000 in the big blind.

Jans Arends: K♥4♣ All in
David Yan: 7♦7♥

Yan remained in the lead on the 8♣8♦5♠ flop, but Arends hit the K♣ on the turn to make two pair as Yan laughed off the bad beat. Left with just two outs going to the river, Yan missed the J♠ as the start-of-day chip leader handed over the double up.

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Ossi Ketola raised to 60,000 under the gun and Jans Arends moved all in for 460,000 in the hijack. Daniel Dvoress called for his last 400,000 in the big blind, while Ketola also called to put both opponents at risk.

Daniel Dvoress: A♥A♣ All in
Jans Arends: A♦Q♣ All in
Ossi Ketola: 10♥10♣

Dvoress had found a pair of aces and was a big favorite to scoop the pot as the board ran out J♠4♦8♥3♦6♥. He earned the triple up, while Ketola took the side pot with his tens to send Arends to the rail.
