Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Kai Yang limped under the gun and Mitchell Hynam in the small blind did the same. Miltiadis Kyriakides in the big blind checked his option.

The flop came A♦3♦K♠. Hynam checked prompting Kyriakides to bet 50,000. Yang shoved all-in for 100,000. Hynam got out of the way and Kyriakides snap-called.

Kai Yang: 8♣7♣6♦4♦2♣ All in
Miltiadis Kyriakides: A♥7♠6♥3♥3♠

Kyriakides caught a set on the flop putting him way ahead of Yang, who could only hope for a diamond to save him. The dealer completed the board with a J♥ turn and a 8♥ river. With no diamond in sight, Yang had all the time to enjoy his dinner.

Miltiadis Kyriakides three-bet the pot for Kamel Mokhammad to call and the former than said "how do you feel about your hand now" when the flop came K♥7♣2♠. Mokhammad responded not verbally but by moving all in and Kyriakides called for more than 360,000.

Miltiadis Kyriakides: A♠K♠J♥6♣4♠ All in
Kamel Mokhammad: A♥K♦10♣9♥6♠

The 2♣ turn and 8♣ river were blanks and they chopped.

"That was the best hand I had today," Kyriakides said in the table chat.

He then raised and called a three-bet by Kai Yang in the next hand. Kyriakides jammed the 10♦9♥5♥ flop and Yang called with the marginally covering stack.

Miltiadis Kyriakides: A♦K♦J♣10♥8♥ All in
Kai Yang: A♥A♠K♣10♣8♠

Kyriakides turned a flush thanks to the 6♥ and that made the J♦ river a formality, securing his double for 340,000.

Miguel Ore Avila opened to 90,000 and Sebestyen Balint called to see a flop.

The dealer fanned out K♠A♥7♥. Both players checked through the J♥ turn.

Avila fired double the big blind on the river 2♥ which seemed to be enough to make Balint fold.

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Mohamed Kerkeni raised the pot to 105,000 and then got his short stack in against Miguel Ore Avila to create the following preflop showdown.

Mohamed Kerkeni: A♥Q♥Q♣7♦3♥ All in
Miguel Ore Avila: A♦K♠10♦9♥4♥

The Q♦J♣6♣10♠9♠ board gave Kerkeni a set of queens on the flop but Ore turned Broadway to then hold up on a blank river. That brought the field down to the last 18 hopefuls because Suguru Nakajima was also knocked out moments prior on another table.
