Alexandros Theologis K♠K♥ raised to 800,000 from under the gun before Yuri Dzivielevski A♦10♠ three-bet to 2,000,000 from the button.

The action continued when Teun Mulder Q♦Q♣ four-bet to 4,700,000 from the small blind. Alex Kulev folded in the big blind, to put the action back on Theologis. He jammed for 11,325,000.

Dzivielevski quickly folded, and Mulder asked for a count.

Despite getting a great price, Mulder chucked away his hand without needing to use a time bank.

Yuri Dzivielevski raised to 800,000 from under the gun and Alex Foxen defended his big blind, leaving 800,000 behind.

Foxen led out for 775,000 on the J♥10♠3♣ flop and called his last 25,000 chip when Dzivielevski raised.

Alex Foxen: 10♦7♠ All in
Yuri Dzivielevski: A♦8♥

The board completed with the 5♥J♠, and Foxen doubled to 3,600,000.

Two hands later, Foxen raised to 3,200,000 from the button, leaving 200,000 behind. Dzivielevski called from the small blind.

The last of Foxen's chips went in on the Q♦6♦3♦ flop, and the cards went on their backs.

Alex Foxen: 9♠8♠ All in
Yuri Dzivielevski: A♠8♥

Both players had missed the flop, and neither had a diamond meaning Foxen was in rough shape. He failed to reverse his domination, and exited in sixth place after the Q♥ turn and 5♣ river.

Level 23 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Yuri Dzivielevski opened to 800,000 from middle position and action folded around to Sam Soverel who jammed for 7,750,000 from the big blind. Dzivielevski snap-called and the players looked to the board to see Soverel's fate.

Sam Soverel: 10♦10♣ All in
Yuri Dzivielevski: A♣K♣

Soverel had one foot out of the door after the K♠9♣6♥ gave Dzivielevski the lead. The 6♣ turn left Soverel needing a ten to survive, but the board completed with the 5♠ river, sending Soverel to the rail in eighth place for $316,234.

In a limped pot between the blinds to the K♣J♥5♥ flop, Alex Kulev held A♠3♥ and checked from the small blind. Alexandros Theologis, with Q♣10♥, checked back his open-ended straight draw.

Kulev's ace remained ahead on the J♦ turn, and he checked. Theologis also checked.

The board double-paired on the K♥ river and Kulev bet 600,000. Theologis called with his queen-high and saw the pot pushed to the Bulgarian.
