Andriy Lyubovetskiy

Samuel Stranak raised to 75,000 and Andriy Lyubovetskiy jammed for just 140,000 in the cutoff for Stranak to call.

Andriy Lyubovetskiy: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Samuel Stranak: {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}

The {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop gave Lyubovetskiy the top and bottom pair but Stranak hit the {3-Hearts} turn for his gutshot. Nothing changed on the {q-Diamonds} river and that spelled the end for Lyubovetskiy in 9th place.

Samuel Stranak raised to 75,000 and Ermanno Di Nicola three-bet to 265,000. Stranak then four-bet and Di Nicola got it in for the last 510,000.

Ermanno Di Nicola: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{q-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Samuel Stranak: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{4-Hearts}

The {8-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop gave Stranak trips fours which left his opponent with little equity. Di Nicola was down to two outs after the {9-Diamonds} turn and the {3-Diamonds} river brought no miracle escape. The Italian headed to the payout desk to collect €10,185 for his efforts.

Level 22 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Stanislav Parkhomenko
Stanislav Parkhomenko

Vasil Medarov three-bet the pot in the small blind and then called the four-bet shove by Stanislav Parkhomenko for the last 420,000 on the button.

Stanislav Parkhomenko: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}
Vasil Medarov: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}

The {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop brought no help at all and the {4-Hearts} turn left Parkhomenko with just three outs. It wasn't meant to be as Parkhomenko bowed out after a blank {j-Spades} river. His run ends in 7th place for €13,065.

Level 23 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Krasimir Yankov
Krasimir Yankov

Alan Sabo raised to 110,000 and Krasimir Yankov called with the {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{10-Clubs}, Ian Bradley came along with the {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds} out of the small blind and Samuel Stranak then raised the pot to 650,000 out of the big blind. Yankov moved all-in for 805,000 and Bradley folded, Stranak called.

"If you didn't do it, I would have," Bradley mentioned in table chat to the at-risk Yankov.

Krasimir Yankov: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Samuel Stranak: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

The {q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop gave Stranak three chances to fill up to a full house while Yankov had a gutshot. Nothing changed on the {4-Clubs} turn and the {4-Diamonds} river sent Yankov to the rail in 6th place for €17,140.

Amir Mozaffarian Eliminated in 5th Place (€22,982)

Level 23 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Amir Mozaffarian
Amir Mozaffarian

The next open raise to 135,000 by Amir Mozaffarian with the {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} was called by Ian Bradley out of the small blind with {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Samuel Stranak came along out of the big blind with the {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}.

The trio headed to the {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop and it was checked to Mozaffarian, who bet 200,000. Only Stranak called and the {9-Hearts} followed on the turn. Stranak checked once more and Mozaffarian bet just shy of the pot for 675,000, which led to the reluctant check-shove by Stranak and snap-call by Mozaffarian.

A pot of 5,845,000 emerged and it was Stranak who had the best of it once the {q-Clubs} river with aces and queens.

Vasil Medarov
Vasil Medarov

Down to the last 305,000, Vasil Medarov was all-in and the overwhelming chip leader Samuel Stranak looked him up.

Vasil Medarov: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Samuel Stranak: {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

The {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop gave Medarov middle set but Stranak only needed an ace to pull ahead. he got just that on the {a-Clubs} turn to leave Medarov with just the case kind as out. There was no miracle on the {3-Diamonds} river as the hot streak of Stranak continued.

Medarov laddered to fourth place, which comes with a payday of €31,484.

Bradley Hero-Calls Correctly to Double Through Sabo

Level 25 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Ian Bradley
Ian Bradley

Ian Bradley raised the pot to 280,000 with the {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Alan Sabo called out of the big blind holding the {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. The {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop brought no betting action nor did the {2-Diamonds} turn.

Sabo also checked the {k-Hearts} river and then faced a bet worth 400,000 by Bradley. The check-raise for the size of the pot to 1,880,000 by Sabo followed and that sent Bradley into the tank.

The Brit carefully counted his remaining stack and called all-in to double into the lead.

Ian Bradley
Ian Bradley

Ian Bradley three-bet potted out of the big blind and Samuel Stranak called on the button. The {a-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop brought the shove by Bradley for 1,290,000 and Stranak shrugged, then called.

Ian Bradley: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
Samuel Stranak: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{5-Hearts}

Bradley needed a king or six to stay alive once more but instead, it was Stranak who improved to a straight on the {10-Hearts} turn and {9-Diamonds} river. That brought an end to Bradley's tournament run and he collects €44,044 for the efforts.

Heads-up play between the two Slovakians Stranak and Alan Sabo will get underway in a few minutes.
