Aliaksandr Shylko three-bet to 150,000 in the big blind and Bastian Gallitzendoerfer called in early position.

The flop came 10♦4♥2♣ and Shylko continued for 75,000. Gallitzendoerfer called and the 3♥ fell on the turn.

Shylko then bet 140,000 and Gallitzendoerfer again called. The river was the A♣ and Shylko bet 100,000. Galliitzendoerfer then raised to 250,000.

Shylko ended up burning through three time banks before calling, and Gallitzendoerfer showed A♦5♥ for a straight to win the pot.

Lulei Hu opened to 40,000 under the gun, and received a call from Vlad Andrusca on the button, before Michael Sklenicka three-bet jammed for 455,000 from the big blind.

Hu quickly rejammed with the covering stack, forcing out Andrusca.

Michael Sklenicka: 7♦7♠ All in
Lulei Hu: K♦K♣

Sklenicka had run into a monster, and there was no escape on the 8♥6♣6♦Q♥10♥ runout.

Richard Hayes

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Gregor Daniel opened to 40,000 from early position, and Josef Gulas defended the big blind.

The flop came 10♥6♦2♦, and Gulas check-called a bet of 50,000 from Daniel.

The same pattern followed on the 4♥ turn, this time in respect of a bet of 80,000 from Daniel.

The A♦ river completed the board, and was checked through.

Gulas tabled A♥10♠ for the rivered two pair, and Daniel let out a yelp of frustration when he saw his A♣6♣ for a lower two pair was beat, although he should be relieved he found the check back.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Yannick Schumacher opened to 40,000 from middle position, and received a call from Josef Gulas in the next seat.

On the 8♣7♠3♣ flop, Schumacher check-called a bet of 65,000 from Gulas.

The same pattern followed on the 7♥ turn, this time in respect of a bet of 75,000 from Gulas.

The K♥ river completed the board, and Schumacher checked for a third time. Gulas jammed with the covering stack, and Schumacher, who had 240,000 behind, immediately put his head to his hands as he studied the board, looking pained.

He proceeded to burn through all his remaining four time banks contemplating the decision, and with ten seconds left before his hand was declared dead, folded.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Selim Cimen moved all in for 245,000 under the gun and action folded around to Carlos Spoddig who reshoved for 575,000 in the small blind. Aliaksandr Shylko snap-called in the big blind.

Selim Cimen: 3♣3♦ All in
Carlos Spoddig: A♠Q♥ All in
Aliaksandr Shylko: Q♦Q♠

"How do you wake up with it every time?" a frustrated Spoddig said when Shylko revealed his queens. The board ran out 8♣5♠4♠2♦K♠ and Shylko held up to send both opponents to the rail.

"Jackpot," tablemate Bastian Gallitzendoerfer said.

"Just lucky," Shylko added.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Iago Savino opened to 40,000 from early position, and Alberto Speranzoni three-bet to 110,000 from the cutoff.

Viorel Gavrila was on the button, without any time banks remaining, and around two seconds after the timer beeped and ran out, Gavrila attempted to move all in.

The tournament director was called, and it was ruled that Gavrila's hand was dead as a result of failure to act within his allotted time, which could not be extended without any time banks. Gavrila took it stoically enough and folded.

Action back to Savino, who promptly four-bet jammed on Speranzoni, whose hand instantly hit the muck.

"I would have called or rejammed anyway if he was allowed to go all-in," said Savino to Speranzoni.

Iago Savino	1,500,000 75,000	75,000

Artem Kobylynskyi raised to 40,000 in the cutoff, Giuliano Bendinelli moved all in for 490,000 in the small blind, and Kobylynskyi snap-called.

Giuliano Bendinelli: 5♣5♠ All in
Artem Kobylynskyi: K♦K♣

Kobylynskyi had woken up with kings to leave the new WSOP bracelet winner at risk of elimination. The Q♠6♥10♦7♥8♦ board offered no help to Bendinelli, and he was sent to the rail.

Leon Veehof limped in from the small blind, Martin Kabrhel raised to 70,000 in the big blind with 6♣2♦, and Veehof called.

The flop came K♦Q♣5♦ and Kabrhel bet 60,000. Veehof called to the 5♠ turn, where Kabrhel bet another 140,000. Veehof again called.

The river was the 3♠ and Kabrhel shoved all in. Veehof folded J♦8♦ for his last 310,000, and Kabrhel took the pot to move up past 3,000,000.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Mateusz Hajman moved all in for 405,000 on the button and Marcello Miniucchi put him at risk in the big blind.

Mateusz Hajman: A♠J♦ All in
Marcello Miniucchi: K♠Q♥

The 5♣4♣10♣ flop kept Hajman in the lead, while the A♦ turn gave him top pair and Miniucchi a straight draw. The river 2♠ was safe for Hajman, and he earned the double.

At another table, Vlastimil Pustina and Michail Manolakis arrived at the river on a board of A♦A♣9♦2♠K♠ and around 400,000 in the pot. Pustina moved all in for 350,000 in the big blind, and Manolakis called in the cutoff.

Pustina turned over K♥K♦ for a rivered full house, and Manolakis let out a loud sigh as he flashed A♠J♦ before handing over the double.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Adrian Cazacu raised to 40,000 under the gun and Max Neugebauer called in the cutoff. Govert Metaal then moved all in for 250,000 in the big blind and Cazacu folded, but Neugebauer called to put Metaal at risk.

Govert Metaal: 7♣7♥ All in
Max Neugebauer: A♥J♠

The flop came K♥10♣5♠ to give Neugebauer additional outs with a straight draw, while the K♠ also opened the possibility of counterfeiting Metaal's pair. The 10♠ river put two pair on the board, and Neugebauer's ace-kicker played to send Metaal to the rail.

Max Neugebauer	800,000 50,000	50,000

Adrian Cazacu	400,000 100,000	100,000
