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

From the cutoff, Martin Kabrhel raised to 40,000 before Pawel Wojciechowski three-bet the button to 110,000. When it folded back to Kabrhel, he four-bet jammed for around 400,000. Wojciechowski snap-called.

Martin Kabrhel: A♠J♠ All in
Pawel Wojciechowski: A♣Q♦

Kabrhel was dominated by Wojciechowski and looked poised to head to exit. As the 3♠6♣5♦ flop came down, Wojciechowski said to Kabrhel, "You are very lucky at this Casino."

Kalbhrel didn't find any help on the 4♦ turn, meaning he was one card away from hitting the rail.

Just before the dealer dealt the river, Wojciechowski continued his statement to Kabrhel by saying, "But, not against me," After which the K♦ completed the board and all of Kabrhel's stack was sent over to Wojciechowski.

Wojciechowski finished his sentence by saying "Goodbye," as Kabrhel headed to collect his payout.

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

Alberto Speranzoni opened from the cutoff and Stefan Drusca defended his big blind.

They went to a flop of A♥Q♥4♦, where Drusca check-called a bet of 35,000 from Speranzoni to the 10♣ turn, where both checked.

A 5♦ hit the river and after Drusca checked it over, Speranzoni bet 60,000. Drusca spent some time thinking it over, but eventually decided to let it go.

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Jan Bendik raised to 32,000 from the button and Franz George called out of the small blind. Robert Vizi squeezed all in for 175,000 from the big blind, which only George called.

Robert Vizi: 7♣7♠ All in
Franz George: K♣Q♦

Vizi's pair of sevens improved to a set on the 9♦7♦2♠ flop, meaning George needed running cards to win the pot. The rest of the board came 3♠J♠, and Vizi doubled through George.

Murauskas Gets His Marching Orders

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Mindaugas Murauskas shoved 117,000 from the cutoff and when it got to Amit Buganim in the big blind, he debated for a few seconds before he called.

Mindaugas Murauskas: A♥4♠ All in
Amit Buganim: K♣10♣

Murauskas needed his ace-high to hold, but looked less likely on the 3♥2♣7♣ flop as Buganim flopped a flush draw. A J♠ on the turn was a brick for Murauskas, but the K♦ on the river meant he had to vacate his seat as Buganim paired his king.

On another table, Renji Mao was eliminated.

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

A preflop raising war between Pawel Wojciechowski and Luigi Pignataro ended with Pignataro all in for his last 460,000 in early position as Wojciechowski put him at risk on the button.

Luigi Pignataro: A♦K♦ All in
Pawel Wojciechowski: A♥A♣

Wojciechowski was poised for another bustout with two aces, but the 7♠4♦J♦ flop gave Pignataro hope with a flush draw. The 5♠ turn kept Wojciechowski in the lead, while the river was the 10♣ as Pignataro was sent to the rail.

"I only play aces," Wojciechowski said.

"You play very well," Martin Kabrhel, who had only just moved to Wojciechowski's direct right, added.

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

With the flop showing Q♦7♥3♥, Symeon Alexandridis got his stack of 180,000 into the middle from the big blind with Pablo Beltran trying to win his bounty from the button.

Symeon Alexandridis: Q♥4♥ All in
Pablo Beltran: K♥K♠

Beltran had an overpair, but Alexandridis held top pair and a flush draw. The 3♠ turn didn't help Alexandridis and neither did the 10♦ river. Beltran's cowboys held up, and Alexandridis was sent to the exit.

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Valerik Malkhasian raised to 40,000 under the gun and was called by Ioannis Chorianopoulos in the hijack, Renji Mao on the button, and big blind Sebastian Kotowicz.

All four players checked the A♣Q♥6♠ flop. Malkhasian then bet 50,000 on the 10♥ turn, and only Mao called.

The river was the 8♦ and Malkhasian tossed in his bounty card to signify he was all in. Mao snap-called and turned over A♦10♦ for two pair, but Malkhasian had K♦J♠ for the nut straight as Mao paid him 166,000.

Bendik Catches Vizi Bluffing

Tim Baker

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Robert Vizi came in with a raise to 35,000 from middle position and only Jan Bendik called from the big blind.

Both players checked a flop of 8♦5♥2♦ to see the Q♥ appear on the turn. Bendik led out for 25,000, which Vizi called.

A J♥ river caused Bendik to check. Vizi slid out a tower of orange T-5,000 chips, amounting to a bet of 100,000. Bendik reluctantly called and was shown A♠K♦ by Vizi for just ace-high. Bendik turned over J♠8♣ for two pair and the pot headed his way.
