Artur Martirosian raised to 875,000 from the cutoff leaving just 20,000 behind. Jesse Lonis moved all in from the big blind with the covering stack to which Martirosian called.

Jesse Lonis: A♦6♠

Martirosian looked set to double up when the dealer fanned the 10♠J♦7♦ flop, but the 8♦ turn and 4♦ river gave Lonis the runner-runner flush he needed to send Martirosian to the rail.

Viktor Blom raised to 240,000 from under the gun and Robert Salaburu shoved from the small blind for 1,345,000. Jesse Lonis folded his big blind but Blom used a time bank before opting to make the call.

Robert Salaburu: K♠Q♥ All in
Viktor Blom: Q♦J♣

The flop came 10♥K♦2♠ for Salaburu to hit top pair but for Blom to pick up the open-ended straight draw.

The turn was the A♠ for Blom to make Broadway to leave Salaburu drawing dead while the 3♠ completed the board.

Level 20 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel raised to 320,000 from the cutoff and Sergio Aido shoved all in from the small blind for around 10,000,000. Kabrhel, who had around 2,500,000 chips behind, still demanded a count from Aido. Eventually, Kabrhel made the call.

Martin Kabrhel: 9♦9♣ All in
Sergio Aido: A♥Q♥

Aido was propelled into the lead on the A♠7♠A♣ flop as he improved to trips, which left Kabrhel drawing to just two outs.

The 5♥ turn was no help to Kabrhel, and Aido boated up on the 5♦ river to win the pot.

[Removed:554] shoved all in from the hijack for 1,620,000 and Sergio Aido dropped in a call from the button.

Level 21 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Chance Kornuth opened A♥9♣ on the button to 450,000 and Viktor Blom shoved from the small blind. Jesse Lonis then made the call for his stack of 3,000,000 out of the big blind, and Kornuth folded.

Jesse Lonis: A♣J♣ All in
Viktor Blom: J♠10♠

Lonis was in great shape to double-up but his hand couldn't hold up as Blom flopped a flush draw, turned a pair, and rivered a full house on the 8♥8♠5♠10♦10♣ runout.
