Level 22 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Artem Kobylynskyi raised to 80,000 and Ivan Tikhov three-bet jammed for 560,000. It folded back to Kobylynskyi and he agonised over the decision to then eventually call.

Ivan Tikhov: K♥10♥ All in
Artem Kobylynskyi: K♦Q♠

"Oh shit," Tikhov instantly said when he saw Kobylynskyi with the superior kicker. The board ran out K♠9♦2♦K♣9♥ and they chopped it up, Tikhov sat back down with the words "lucky me".

Lulei Hu then opened to 90,000. He faced the all-in of Marco Di Persio for 790,000 on the button and Teemu Jaatinen called in the next seat, Hu folded.

Marco Di Persio: A♠K♠ All in
Teemu Jaatinen: 10♠10♥

The A♣8♥5♦ flop improved Di Persio and Hu cried "not like that". Nozhing changed with the 9♦ turn and 6♦ river for Di Persio to double much to the delight of his Italian rail.

Timofey Asmolov raised the button to 115,000 and Teemu Jaatinen called from the big blind.

Jaatinen led out for a second time when the A♦ fell on the turn, this time for 290,000. Asmolov thought for a while, then jammed for 1,150,000. Jaatinen instantly called with the covering stack.

Timofey Asmolov: A♥7♣ All in
Teemu Jaatinen: A♣8♦

Jaatinen was ahead with aces-up, but Asmolov had a straight draw with one card to come. The dealer burned a card, then delivered the Q♣ on the river, and all of Asmolov's stack was sent over to Jaatinen

Level 22 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Ran Ilani three-bet out of the small blind to 265,000 and button raiser Daniel Pidun called for them to see the K♣5♣3♥ flop. Ilani's continuation bet of 150,000 was raised to 375,000 by Pidun. Ilani then used one time bank and three-bet to 850,000. Pidun wasted little time to move all-in with the covering stack and Ilani called.

Ran Ilani: K♥J♣ All in
Daniel Pidun: A♣7♣

Ilani sighed vividly when he saw the flush draw, but held on the 10♦ turn as well as the 7♥ river. His double was for 1,345,000 and that put a major dent into Pidun's stack.

Daniele Sacchi raised to 80,000 in early position and was called by Ratmir Kesidis and Murilo Garcia in the blinds.

Ratmir Kesidis: 3♦3♣ All in
Murilo Garcia: A♠7♠

Kesidis had flopped a set and needed to hold on against Garcia's flush draw. The 8♦ turn left him a card away from a double up, but Garcia spiked the J♠ on the river to make his flush and send Kesidis to the rail.
