Level 4 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Richard Gryko doubled his short stack through Phillipp Mellon when his Q♣Q♠10♦4♣ flopped top and bottom pair on the 10♥5♣4♥6♦2♣ board. Mallon got some of the chips back when his top two pair were good in showdown before there was three-way limped action ahead of him when Mellon was in the big blind.

Veselin Karakitukov, Sean Rafael and Gryko all put in the 5,000 chips. Mellon then raised to 25,000 and was called by Karakitukov as well as Rafael. The 5♣3♠2♠ flop was checked to Rafael who bet 28,000, Mellon folded and Karakitukov called.

Heads-up to the 7♦ turn, Karakitukov checked again. Rafael asked for the pot size and then bet 70,000 into 139,000 to win the pot uncontested.

Level 4 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Ian Matakis limped on the button for 5,000 and Farid Jattin called from the small blind. Jeremy Druckman checked the big blind and the players saw a A♥A♣10♦ flop. Action was checked to the 4♦ turn and the blinds checked to Matakis who bet 10,000. Jattin raised to 24,000 and both players mucked.

The next hand saw Matakis in the cutoff and in a hand with Naoya Kihara who defended his big blind to see the A♣9♦3♠ flop.

The pot stood at 45,000 and Kihara checked to Matakis who bet 15,000. Kihara made a quick call and both checked to see the 2♣ turn.

Kihara moved out 55,000 which was enough for Matakis to fold his hand and he slid down just over half a starting stack.

Level 4 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Richard Gryko limped from the hijack before Phillipp Mellon joined with a limp from the cutoff. Gergo Nagy raised the price of admission to 28,000 on the button in response. Gryko and Mellon called to keep the pot three-handed.

The 2♣5♠A♥ flop was checked by both Gryko and Mellon before Nagy continued for 25,000. Gryko called, but Mellon got out of the hand with a fold.

The 4♠ turn led to a check from Gryko once again. Nagy put out another barrel, this time for 50,000. Gryko mucked his hand to award the pot to Nagy.

Three ways to the 9♠8♦6♠J♣ turn with some 175,000 in the middle, Jason Koon checked out of the small blind. Gruffudd Pugh-Jones moved all in with his shorter stack and Eelis Parssinen folded on the button while Koon quickly tossed in three light blue T-100,000 chips for the call.

Gruffudd Pugh-Jones: A♥Q♣10♥9♣ All in
Jason Koon: K♥Q♠J♥10♠

Both had the queen-high straight but Koon had the flush draw to go with it, which he hit on the 8♠ river to knock out Pugh-Jones.

On a heads-up turn of K♠9♥2♦6♦, Alex Foxen in the small blind and Arthur Morris both invested 50,000 in chips. Foxen then slowed down and checked the 6♠ on the river which paired the board. Morris made it 125,000 to go and Foxen folded.

In the next hand, Foxen opened the button to 18,000 and Robert Cowen defended the big blind. The 10♠3♣2♠ flop saw Cowen with a check-raise from 22,000 to 110,000 and Foxen called. Cowen fired a bet of 264,000 on the 8♦ turn and Foxen folded.

Jesse Lonis opened and Eelis Parssinen three-bet to 24,000. Ian Matakis called from the big blind and Lonis four-bet to pot which was just short of his remaining 106,000 stack, and Parssinen five-bet covering Lonis's remaining change and Matakis got out of the way, leaving the pair to go to showdown with Lonis at risk.

Jesse Lonis: A♠Q♥Q♦8♥All in
Eelis Parssinen: A♥A♦9♣4♥

Lonis was looking to improve on his pair of queens, but the 10♦5♥4♣ flop wasn't enough to help him.

A 7♠ was turned which didn't change much, and he also missed on the 10♠ river, seeing to his elimination in this High Roller event.

Lautaro Guerra was second to act and opened to 18,000. Richard Gryko called on the button, and Gergo Nagy came along with a call from the big blind.

The K♥4♦A♣ flop led to a check from Nagy. Guerra continued for 20,000, which led to a fold from Gryko. Nagy made the call.

The 9♣ turn was checked by Nagy. Guerra did not slow down, as he bet 75,000. That was enough for Nagy, who folded in response to award the pot to Guerra.

Level 4 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jason Koon raised to 18,000 and was called by Ian Matakis as well as Gruffudd Pugh-Jones in the next two seats, Naoya Kihara then defended the big blind. They all checked the J♣5♦2♦ flop to the 7♥ turn on which Kihara led for 55,000. Only Koon called and the 6♠ then followed on the river.

Kihara checked and Koon asked for the size of the pot, which was 190,000 by then.

"He said pot?" Kihara asked the dealer on the other side of the table and leaned out of his chair. However, Koon had not acted yet and placed two T-100,000 chips into the middle shortly after. No call followed by Kihara and Koon reached seven figures.

New on the same table is Farid Jattin who just entered the tournament.

Barakat wasted little time making the fold as Cowen scooped a small pot.
