Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Andre Winkler opened to 55,000 from the hijack and Stefan Drusca shoved his last 80,000 in from the small blind. Franz George then reshoved from the big blind, which got Winkler to fold.

Stefan Drusca: A♥5♠ All in
Franz George: A♠Q♦

Drusca needed some help, but didn't get it on the 2♥K♣8♣2♦10♥ runout, which meant he hit the exit in 17th.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Amit Buganim made it 75,000 from under the gun and only Alberto Speranzoni called from the button.

Buganim started out with a check on the Q♥4♥Q♣ flop, prompting Speranzoni to place out a bet of 75,000. Buganim called.

The 9♦ hit the turn and Buganim check-called another bet from Speranzoni, this time for 130,000.

When the J♠ appeared on the river, Buganim checked for the last time before Speranzoni jammed for around 380,000. Buganim snap-called and Speranzoni immediately got of his chair and turned over K♦8♦ for a bluff. Buganim showed the nut boat with Q♦J♦ and all of Speranzoni's stack was sent over to him.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Dorian Melchers raised to 50,000 from early position and Valerik Malkhasian jammed for 215,000 from the button. After getting a count from the dealer, Melchers called to put Malkhasian at risk.

Valerik Malkhasian: A♣Q♣ All in
Dorian Melchers: Q♠J♣

Malkhasian had Melchers dominated, but the K♠J♦6♠ flop propelled Melchers into the lead with a pair of jacks. The K♦ fell on the turn, and the 10♠ rolled off on the river to give Malkhasian a straight, keeping him in the tournament.

Kai Cocklin

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Sebastian Kotowicz opened from middle position to 50,000 and Alexander Hepting shoved 335,000 from the hijack. Adrian Cazacu was in the cutoff and just called, and when the action got back to Kotowicz, he folded 9♠9♥ face up.

Alexander Hepting: 10♦8♦ All in
Adrian Cazacu: A♠A♥

Cazacu held the rockets and was looking to thin the field down further. Hepting did pick up some outs on the K♠8♠4♠ flop, but Cazacu also added the nut flush draw.

It was all over by the time the 7♠ hit the turn as Cazacu completed his flush, leaving Hepting drawing dead. A Q♠ on the river put a flush on board, but it was still no use for Hepting, who exited in 20th.
