Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Irena Macesovic opened to 20,000 from early position, and Yehor Shumeiko defended his big blind.

The flop and turn checked through to the river for the final board to show Q♥J♥4♦Q♣J♠.

Shumeiko toyed with his chips and bet 60,000 into a pot of 45,000. Macesovic thought about it briefly and called.

Shumeiko instantly mucked his hand and Macesovic tabled her K♦10♦ to show she had made a king-high hero call.

Level 22 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Yehor Shumeiko opened to 24,000 and called when Symeon Alexandridis three-bet to 105,000.

Alexandridis continued for 65,000 on the Q♣9♠6♥ flop and Shumeiko called.

Alexandridis then bet 160,000 on the J♠ turn, leaving 20,000 behind. Shumeiko tried to raise but accidentally put in a string bet and it was just ruled as a call.

The 10♣ completed the board and the rest of the chips went in.

Symeon Alexandridis: A♣J♣
Yehor Shumeiko: A♠A♥

Shumeiko slow-played his aces and got max value as well as his opponent's mystery bounty token.

Heads-up on a flop of 3♦K♣10♠, Tadas Trumpulis tossed out a blue 25,000 chip on the button and Ali Shahni called in the small blind.

The turn came the 6♦ and Trumpulis bet another 110,000. Shahni again called and the Q♣ fell on the river.

Trumpulis then moved all in for 293,000, sending Shahni deep into the tank for several minutes. He eventually slammed in a call and showed K♥Q♦ for two pair.

Trumpulis, though, had 3♥3♠ for a flopped set as he earned the massive double up.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Orhan Sen opened to 40,000 from under the gun before Alexander Romme made it 115,000 from middle position. Cedric Schwaederle four-bet jammed for around 500,000.

Sen then began some theatrics by leaving his chair and swivelling it around. A minute or two passed before he folded. Sen quickly called.

Cedric Schwaederle: Q♦Q♠
Alexander Romme: A♥K♦

Schwaederle remained ahead on the 8♥5♥2♥ flop but was drawing dead on the K♠ turn. The 3♠ river was the last card he saw before handing over his bounty token to Romme.

Heads-up on a board of A♥3♠4♣Q♥, Jun-Beum Chun bet 100,000 from the cutoff and Aliaksandr Shylko called in the big blind.

The river came the A♠ and Chun moved all in for 310,000. Shylko let out a deep sigh before calling, turning over A♣5♣ for trip aces.

Chun, though, showed A♦10♥ and took the pot with his ten-kicker, leaving Shylko on an extreme short stack.

Tadas Trumpulis: K♦K♣
Benjamin Pitoun: A♦K♥

Trumpulis, who had taken a number of hits recently, looked set to get all those chips back as the board came 6♦9♦3♠2♣. But the river brought the A♣ and Pitoun spiked top pair to send Trumpulis crashing out of the tournament.
