Ren Lin bet 20,000 from under the gun on a board of 2♣8♣3♠5♠, Florian Kraft moved all in for 75,000 in the small blind, and Lin quickly called.

Kraft had A♣J♣ for a flush draw and needed to improve against Lin's J♦J♠, but Lin held on through the 9♥ river to send Kraft to the rail.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Mikolaj Zawadzki bet 11,000 from early position on a flop of 6♥5♠K♠ and Knut Karnapp called on the button. Michele Tocci then raised to 38,000 in the small blind, and both opponents called.

Action checked to Karnapp on the 6♠ turn and he moved all in for 42,000. Tocci reshoved and Zawadzki quickly folded.

Karnapp turned over A♠J♠ for a flush, but Tocci had 5♦5♥ for a full house. The river was the 2♣ and Tocci, who finished third in this event in 2023, scored the knockout.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

With around 40,000 in the pot on a J♠8♥K♦ flop, Piotr Szymczak checked from the small blind and Ferdinando D'alessio fired 8,000 from middle position. Szymczak called.

A 7♥ hit the turn and another check came in from Szymczak, beofre D'alessio bet 22,000. Once again, Szymczak called.

When the 7♠ paired the board on the river, Szymczak shoved for 60,5000, which sent D'alessio into the tank. After some time, he eventually called and saw that Szymczak had a bluff with A♣10♦.

D'alessio then revealed he had turned a straight with 10♠9♠ to earn the pot and the knockout.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Tyson Strauss opened to 4,000 under the gun, and received a call from Bastian Gallitzendoerfer in the next seat, before Urmo Velvelt produced a three-bet to 20,000 from the small blind.

Strauss reached for chips to produce a small four-bet to 32,000, and Gallitzendoerfer called. Velvelt took advantage of the fact action had been reopened to five-bet jam for 141,000 total.

Strauss rejammed, and Gallitzendoerfer sighed, and quickly open-folded 10♠10♦.

Urmo Velvelt: K♣K♠ All in
Tyson Strauss: A♥A♦

In a brutal cooler, Velvelt had run cowboys into rockets, and there was no escape on the Q♠10♣7♣8♠J♣ runout, the regret plain to see on Gallitzendoerfer's face when the ten hit on the flop.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

After two checks on the 2♣A♣4♥ flop, Patrik Jaros bet 8,000 from middle position and Bastian Gallitzendoerfer called from the big blind. Michail Manolakis check-jammed for 37,000 from early position and Jaros put in another raise, forcing Gallitzendoerfer to fold.

Michail Manolakis: Q♣J♣ All in
Patrik Jaros: A♥3♥

Manolakis held a flush draw against the top pair of Jaros. Manolakis remained unimproved on the 7♦ turn and 4♦ river, which meant all of his chips were absorbed into Jaros' stack.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Mariusz Golinski was all-in for around 70,000 and at risk against Iraklis Manikaros.

Mariusz Golinski: J♥J♣ All in
Iraklis Manikaros: A♦Q♣

It was a fair fight, but Golinski was down to a two-outer after the A♠7♦3♦ flop, and he could not find it on the K♦ turn or 3♥ river.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

A full board of 10♥6♣5♦4♣K♥ was showing with around 50,000 in the pot when Ioannis Angelou Konstas shoved the cutoff for his remaining stack of about 70,000.

Florian Thumm was on the button and didn't need to think for too long before he stuck in the call. Angelou Konstas was already up on his feet as he revealed a bluff holding J♥8♥, and Thumm took down the pot with K♦10♣ for top two pair.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Saif El Ouardani raised to 4,500 in the cutoff, Yosefi Cohen three-bet to 13,500 on the button, and El Ouardani called.

The flop came 10♥8♣6♠ and Cohen bet 8,000. El Ouardani then raised to 23,000, and Cohen called.

Both players checked down the 6♥ turn and 9♦ river, and El Ouardani showed A♦10♦ for two pair to win the pot.

At another table, Sirzat Hissou had moved all in for 40,000 from the button and Vito Branciforte called in the big blind.

Sirzat Hissou: A♦J♠ All in
Vito Branciforte: 10♠10♥

Hissou remained behind going to the river as the board came 9♦8♣7♠5♥, but he caught the J♥ on the river and remained in his seat until the dealer pointed out that Branciforte had made a straight. Hissou let out a laugh as he made his way to the exit for the second time today.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Nicusor Matei opened to 4,500 from under the gun, and was met with a three-bet to 13,000 from Konstantinos Nanos on the button.

Action folded back to Matei, who four-bet jammed for his 56,500 total stack. Nanos asked for a count and called.

Nicusor Matei; K♣K♥ All in
Konstantinos Nanos: A♠Q♠

Matei was in good shape with cowboys versus a single overcard, and he was still ahead after the Q♣4♦2♠ flop, although Nanos picked up top pair.

The 5♠ turn spelt danger, giving Nanos a flush draw, and the 7♠ hit on the river to send Matei to the rail.

Matei slammed the table in disgust at his misfortune, and beat a hasty retreat from the tournament area.
