David Salituro

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Lukas Pazma raised to 2,000 in early position before Mario Vojvoda three-bet to 6,000 in the hijack. Pazma then four-bet to 17,000, Vojvoda moved all in for 86,000, and Pazma called.

Mario Vojvoda: A♠K♣ All in
Lukas Pazma: Q♥Q♦

It was a classic flip, and Pazma's queens held on through the 7♦2♦6♦2♣7♥ board to send Vojvoda to the rail.

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Oemer Kaya opened to 1,700 in the hijack and Remigiusz Wyrzykiewicz called in the cutoff. Sergii Baranov called on the button, and Samir Kourie came along from the small blind.

The flop came 8♦10♥J♥ and when it got to Kaya, he bet 3,600. Wyrzykiewicz folded, then Baranov made it 25,200, leaving 1,000 behind. Kourie got out of the way, and Kaya just called.

When the Q♦ dropped on the turn, Kaya bet 1,000, and Baranov called.

Sergii Baranov: J♠7♠ All in
Oemer Kaya: K♣Q♠

Kaya had flopped an open-ended straight draw that turned into a pair of queens. Baranov needed to find some help on the river for his pair of jacks, but when the river bricked, he headed to the exit.

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Marek Tomes made it 1,600 from middle position before Nourddine Chiha three-bet the cutoff to 4,800. Tomes called to see a flop.

Tomes check-called a bet of 7,500 by Chiha on the K♣9♠3♥ flop.

A J♣ landed on the turn, causing Tomes to check again. Chiha fired a second barrel of 12,500 and was met by a check-raise to 31,500 from Tomes. Chiha paused for a few moments, then three-bet jammed for about 125,000. Tomes snap-called with the covering stack.

Nourddine Chiha: A♣Q♥ All in
Marek Tomes: Q♣10♦

Tomes held the nuts with a king-high straight and Chiha had made a move with ace-high. Chiha still could win the pot by hitting a ten on the river to improve to a higher straight.

It wasn't to be for Chiha as the 5♠ completed the board, and all of Chiha's stack was sent over to Tomes.

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Devin Dayan bet 4,000 from the hijack on a flop of 10♥5♥5♠ and Luca Maccatrozzo called in the small blind. Rutger Hennen then moved all in for 27,200 in the big blind. Dayan called, while Maccatrozzo got out of the way.

Rutger Hennen: J♥4♥ All in
Devin Dayan: A♣A♦

Hennen was on a flush draw and needed to improve against Dayan's aces. While the J♠ turn gave him more outs with a pair, the river 3♠ was no help, and Hennen was sent to the rail.

Big stacks abound at this table, as both Ivan Banic and Alexander Zubov are sitting with more than 250,000.

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Simon Wilson came in with a raise from early position and Asaf Berman called from the hijack. Tzur Levy squeezed it to roughly 8,000 from the cutoff, which Andreas Goeller cold-called out of the big blind. Wilson let go of his hand, but Berman called to make it a three-way.

Upon seeing the dealer spread out the 2♥7♣10♥ flop, Goeller led out for 12,000. Berman quickly called and then Levy jammed for 80,100. Goeller stuck in his stack of around 75,000, causing Berman to go into the tank. After thinking it over for a minute or so, Berman revealed J♥8♥ for a flush draw and folded.

Andreas Goeller: 7♠4♠ All in
Tzur Levy: Q♣Q♦

Levy's pocket queens were in great shape against the second pair of Goeller.

The A♥ rolled off on the turn, and Goeller needed to improve to trips or two pair to remain seated in the Main Event. A 5♦ completed the board and Goeller headed for the showers, while Levy was up to almost 200,000.

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Marek Tomes limped under the gun before Rene Schnitzler made it 4,000 from the hijack. Arvin Verma called from the cutoff and Michal Szczeblewski called from the big blind, but Tomes limp-raised to 17,000. Schnitzler, Verma, and Szczeblewski called.

With roughly 70,000 already in the middle, the four players saw a flop of 3♥A♥6♦ fall, and the action checked to Tomes. Tomes bet 15,000 and was met by a shove for around 65,000 from Schnitzler. Verma and Szczeblewski got out of the way, and Tomes went into the tank. After deliberating for over a minute, Tomes made the call.

Rene Schnitzler: J♥8♥ All in
Marek Tomes: 7♥7♦

Tomes had a pair of sevens against the two overcards and the flush draw of Schnitzler. Schnitzler was up out of his seat to see the 5♠ roll off on the turn. A 3♣ completed the board, and Tomes fist-pumped at having eliminated Schnitzler.

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With the board showing K♥10♠5♥J♦ and with around 27,000 in the middle, Luca Maccatrozzo jammed from the small blind. The bet was for Fausto Tantillo's stack of around 30,000. After giving it some thought, Tantillo stuck in the call to put himself at risk.

Fausto Tantillo: A♦K♠ All in
Luca Maccatrozzo: Q♥9♥

Maccatrozzo had a straight, and only a queen on the river could save Tantillo by giving him a higher straight. It wasn't to be as the A♠ rolled off the river to give Tantillo a meaningless two pair, and all of his chips were sent over to Maccatrozzo.

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Sirzat Hissou opened to 2,000 from early position and Murilo Garcia three-bet from the next seat to 6,000. Mikolaj Zawadzki was on the button and four-bet to 14,000, which Marek Tomes called in the big blind. Hissou also called, then Garcia put in a five-bet to 31,000.

Zawadzki took some time before he announced a six-bet to 108,000, which didn't impress Tomes, who eventually folded. Hissou also folded, then Garcia seven-bet shoved. Zawadzki had around 10,000 behind and called it off.

Mikolaj Zawadzki: A♦K♦ All in
Murilo Garcia: K♠K♥

Zawadzki was way behind the pocket kings of Garcia, and didn't get any help from the 4♥9♣3♥9♥4♠ runout, which meant his day was cut short.

Marek Tomes	520,000 30,000	30,000

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

OIeh Okhotskyi made it 2,000 to go from middle position and Hans Bosman called out of the cutoff. Pierre Huter jammed the button for 23,300 and Okhotskyi moved in over the top for around 130,000, forcing Bosman to fold.

Pierre Huter: A♠7♠ All in
Oleh Okhotskyi: Q♠Q♣

Okhotskyi's queens managed to hold up against Huter's suited ace through the 8♠J♣8♦7♦4♦ runout, and all of Huter's chips were now Okhotskyi's.

Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Gianmarco Benincasa jammed from the small blind and Sirzat Hissou called for his last 8,000 out of the big blind.

Sirzat Hissou: J♥8♥ All in
Gianmarco Benincasa: Q♥J♣

Hissou was dominated by Benincasa heading to the 9♠7♠A♣ flop that saw Hissou pick up a straight draw. However, the rest of the board came 6♥K♥ keeping Benincasa's queen-high in the lead, and Hissou was out.
