Heads-up to the 9♦8♣4♠ flop, Daniel Smuskovics bet 24,000 with the J♠9♣8♠5♦ when checked to by Dario Alioto in the small blind. The Italian came along with the A♣Q♥J♦10♠ and drilled the 10♥ on the turn.
Alioto checked again and Smuskovics bet 80,000 for Alioto to shove for 162,000 total. Smuskovics tossed in the additional chips and couldn't get there with the 6♠ river.
Following a raise by Gab Yong Kim and a call by Dorel Eldabach, the 10♦2♣2♥ flop saw a check-call by Kim when Eldabach made it 20,000 to go.
Both checked the 3♦ turn and the K♦ fell on the river. Kim checked again and Eldabach bet 70,000, which won the pot uncontested.
Shortly after, Nino Pansier raised the pot to 42,000. Alexi Skoulos called in the big blind and they checked down the 8♥7♥3♥2♦4♣ board. Skoulos announced an eight but Pansier won the pot with the J♠10♣10♦9♦.
Tomasz Kozub raised to 35,000 in middle position before Wooram Cho moved all in on the button for 103,000. Action folded back to Kozub and he quickly called.
Wooram Cho: A♣K♥J♣10♠
Tomasz Kozub: A♠K♣9♦8♦
The flop came J♠8♥7♦ and Cho made top pair. "That's not good," Kozub said.
The turn, though, was the 10♥ and Kozub made a straight to take the lead. "That's a good card," he added, and the 6♦ river sealed Cho's elimination in 23rd place.
Kasparas Klezys raised it up with the K♣J♦10♣9♥ and Hokyiu Lee three-bet to 93,000 on the button with the K♦Q♣10♦7♦, the Lithuanian called with 111,000 behind.
The J♣7♥3♣ flop saw Klezys shove and Lee called.
Klezys was in very good shape with his superior pair and flush draw. Nothing at all changed with the A♥ turn but the 10♠ river gave Lee broadway to deal the knockout in brutal fashion.
Omar Eljach raised the pot to 42,000 and Farid Jattin called. Dorel Eldabach then asked for the size of the pot out of the blinds and made it 166,000 to go for nearly full pot.
That forced out Eljach while Jattin called after some consideration.
On the K♦5♥2♦ flop, Eldabach moved all-in and Jattin instantly called.
Dorel Eldabach: A♦A♠J♠6♣
Farid Jattin: K♥J♥J♦6♦
Jattin had live cards against the aces but bricked the 7♠ turn as well as the 4♠ river, as Eldabach doubled for 230,000.
In a battle of the blinds to the Q♦7♣4♣7♠ turn over on the feature table, Aaron Duczak check-raised to 70,000 with the A♠7♦6♠4♥. Kasparas Klezys reluctantly called with the A♦A♣Q♠5♠ and that led them to the 10♥ river.
Duczak moved all-in for 176,000 and that was for almost the entire stack of Klezys. The Lithuanian tanked for a short while and folded.
Barny Boatman and Bruno Stefanelli were heads-up on a flop of J♥K♥10♦ when Stefanelli led out for 50,000 in the big blind.
Boatman called and the 10♣ fell on the turn. Stefanelli then moved all in for around 55,000. Boatman leaned over the table to get a good look at the board and peeked back at his cards, but ultimately mucked.
Level: 19
Blinds: 6,000/12,000
Ante: 12,000
Farid Jattin raised to 25,000 and Levan Rcheulishvili called on the button. Nino Pansier potted to 110,000 in the small blind and took it down.
One hand later, Gab Yong Kim made it 25,000 to go. Jattin potted to 80,000 in the big blind and Kim called.
The Q♦10♥6♣ flop saw Jattin bet the pot for 175,000 with around 100,000 behind. No call followed and Jattin recovered more chips.
On a board of A♠A♥5♠6♥, Barny Boatman bet 25,000 from the big blind before Wooram Cho raised to 85,000 in the small blind.
Boatman called and the 7♦ fell on the river. Cho then led out for another 225,000.
Boatman came back with an all-in shove for 720,000 and Cho snap-called, turning over A♣J♦6♣4♦ for aces full of sixes. Boatman, though, had A♦Q♠10♠7♥ for aces over sevens to earn the massive pot and a double up that vaulted him into the tournament chip lead.
