Level 12 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

With around 11,000 already sitting in the pot, the flop revealed 7♥10♠8♦, and Petr Targa was the first to take action. He fired out a bet of 4,500, only for Mateusz Moolhuizen on the button to call without hesitation.

When the J♠ hit the turn, Targa decided to check, and Moolhuizen took the opportunity to ramp up the pressure with a bet of 9,000. Targa thought it over but eventually called, curious to see where this was headed.

The river brought the 5♥, and Targa checked once again. Moolhuizen wasn’t holding back; he made a bet of 12,000, which Targa called again.

When it came time for the showdown, Moolhuizen revealed 6♦4♦, grinning as he said, "I don’t have the nine; I just have a small straight."

Targa took a moment to process what had just unfolded, realizing Moolhuizen had indeed outplayed him. After some contemplation, he mucked his hand, and with that, Moolhuizen continued to build his stack.

Level 12 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

The board was showing K♠Q♠Q♥10♦, and the pot had already built up to around 24,000 chips. Daniel Lakerveld, from the big blind, kicked things off with a bold bet of 18,000. Marco Süss, sitting in the hijack, took a moment to think it over but ultimately decided to call.

When the J♦ hit the river, Lakerveld checked, sending the action back to Süss. He mulled it over for a bit but opted to check as well. Then, Lakerveld flipped over 8♠6♠ for a daring bluff. But Süss wasn’t fazed—he showed A♥Q♣ for a rivered straight, leaving Lakerveld's bluff looking pretty weak.

Level 12 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Action was picked up on the river of J♥4♦Q♥A♠9♥ where Adam Siwicki was facing a shove of 90,000 from Eden Anzio. Siwicki had checked from the small blind and Anzio put him all in from the big blind.

"Will you show me if I fold and show you, sir?" asked Siwicki. His question fell on deaf ears as Anzio had his headphones on.

Siwicki attempted to ask again but gained no response again. Eventually he found the fold and flashed Anzio the 4♠.

Siwicki asked once more to which Anzio replied "not this time mate" as he raked in the pot.

Level 11 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

With 27,900 already sitting in the pot and the board showing 7♥4♦10♣6♠, Ran Ilani decided to check to Patrick Baranyai. Seizing the moment, Baranyai fired out a bet of 13,000, but Ilani wasn’t going anywhere—he went all-in. After asking the dealer to count his stack, which came to 40,900, Baranyai eventually made the call, and it was time to showdown.

Ilani proudly showed his Q♥Q♣, thinking he had a solid top pair, but Baranyai turned over 4♣3♣, revealing he had a pair of fours and a gutshot straight draw. He needed a three, four, or five to pull ahead.

As the dealer flipped over the river card, a 5♠ popped up, giving Baranyai the straight he needed! Ilani was left stunned, realizing he had just been knocked out of the tournament. Shaking his head in disbelief, he walked away from the table, still processing what had just happened.

Ermanno Di Nicola opened from under the gun to 3,500. Adam Martinsson was the only caller from the hijack.

Di Nicola led for 4,000 on the J♣6♣J♥ flop, a bet which Martinsson called. Di Nicola slowed down and checked on the 3♥ turn which brought in an additional flush draw.
