David Salituro

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Heads-up on a board of 7♠10♣3♥7♦, Andrea Radicchi bet 315,000 from under the gun and Alexander Tkatschew called in middle position.

The river came the 3♣ and Radicchi bet another 335,000. Tkatschew then moved all in for 935,000.

Radicchi tanked for more than five minutes until he put in the chips to call. Tkatschew then turned over A♠10♠ for two pair and Radicchi slammed down J♣J♥ and shot out of his seat to give out a big fist pump as he sent Tkatschew to the rail.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Viktor Blom was spotted on his way out of the tournament area and the chips were pushed to Alex Keating, who had rivered a set of queens on the K♣9♦7♣8♥Q♣ board with the Q♦Q♥ exposed. According to Serkan Kuru, Blom had defended the big blind with queen-nine to make two pair on his final hand.

Ruslan Volkov then opened to 60,000 in the next hand and Keating called from the next seat. Francisco Benitez pushed all-in for 325,000 and it folded back to Keating, who sigh-called.

Francisco Benitez: A♠J♦
Alex Keating: A♦5♦

The kicker played on the K♦6♠4♣9♥2♣ runout as Benitez leaped back into contention.

Miguel Martinez moved all in for 375,000 from the small blind and Yulian Bogdanov called on the button.

Miguel Martinez: A♥3♥
Yulian Bogdanov: K♥Q♥

Martinez was ahead until the 4♠K♣6♠ flop gave Bogdanov top pair. Bogdanov improved to two pair on the Q♠ turn and Martinez was already drawing dead and wishing his tablemates good luck before the 6♦ fell on the river.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Eusebiu Jalba and Andrej Desset were heads up on the turn on 10♣3♦A♣5♣. Jalba checked and Desset made a 140,000 bet in the pot of 175,000.

Desset made the call and the K♣ river brought the fourth club on the board. Jalba checked once more before Desset shoved his 685,000 stack towards the middle. This bet covered Jalba by the smallest margin, and it brought him much despair.

Jalba tanked for minutes until eventually the clock was called. Before the end of his countdown, he verbally declared a fold. The players then agreed to show each other their cards.

Desset tabled 6♠6♦ for a stone-cold bluff and Jalba slammed the table while he showed he had been thinking about calling with AxKx for top two pair.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

In the final hand before the break, Alex Keating in the small blind check-called the A♥3♥2♣K♦ turn and then called when Symeon Alexandridis bet 140,000 from an early position.

The 10♠ river was checked which Keating verified before he announced "I have an ace" and revealed the A♠6♠. Alexandridis sighed and tossed his cards into the muck.

At the same time on a different table, Yulian Bogdanov raised to 50,000 and then called a three-bet shove for around 675,000 by Marius Gicovanu within a few seconds.

Marius Gicovanu: J♦J♥
Yulian Bogdanov: 7♥7♠

The big stack was behind and didn't connect on the K♥Q♣5♣ flop or 2♦ turn. However, the 7♣ fell on the river and Gicovanu bowed out with a bad beat story to tell.

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

On the first hand after the break, Hyunsup Kim opened his button and Axel Hallay three-bet jammed his stack of 445,000 in the middle from the small blind.

Kim snap called and a showdown followed.

Axel Hallay: K♦10♣
Hyunsup Kim: A♠A♣

Kim flopped a set on K♥A♥3♥, and the 3♠ turn upgraded him to a full house. The 9♣ river did not matter anymore and Hallay knocked the table as he said his goodbyes.

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Davidi Kitai raised to 60,000 and Svajunas Seduikis then moved all-in for 375,000. It folded to Michael Rocco in the big blind, who asked for an exact count and called while Kitai instantly folded thereafter.

Svajunas Seduikis: A♣Q♥
Michael Rocco: 10♣10♥

No ace or queen appeared on the J♠6♥3♣3♦8♦ board and Seduikis was sent to the rail in 49th place, reducing the field to the last six tables.
