Level 28 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

In a limped pot to the 3♣9♠7♠ flop, Arturo Paduano checked in the small blind to Stephen Nahm in the big blind, who bet the minimum of 160,000.

Paduano then raised to 600,000, whereafter Nahm jammed all in, covering Paduano's stack of 3,250,000 chips.

Paduano mulled things over momentarily before putting in the call for his tournament life.

Arturo Paduano: 10♥9♥ All in
Stephen Nahm: 9♦4♣

Paduano's kicker remained in play on the 5♣2♣ runout, doubling him up and leaving Nahm with less than five big blinds.

Bogdan Tilica: K♥Q♠ All in
Stephen Nahm: A♠3♠ All in
Luc Ramos: Q♦J♦

Neither Tilica nor Ramos could connect with the 8♣4♠6♠8♥3♥ board as Nahm hit two pair on the river to scoop the pot, doubling up off Ramos while sending Tilica to the rail.

Candido Cappiello: A♣K♦

A cooler in the favor of Ghashayar, who just had to fade a brutal runout to double-up and become one of the biggest stacks in the room. The board ran out 3♥2♦10♠2♥3♦ and Ghashayar's aces hed up.

Level 27 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Florian Duta made it 240,000 to go in the hijack. The action folded to Volodymyr Pashchetnyk in the small blind, who pushed in his stack of 1,140,000 for an all-in bet.

Duta made a quick call and a showdown was ordered.

Volodymyr Pashchetnyk: 2♦2♣ All in
