Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Bogdan Roman raised to 160,000 in the hijack, leaving himself 40,000 behind, and Idan Nagauker reraised to 350,000 on the button. "One minute. It needs to go down," Roman told his tablemates, pointing at the tournament clock which showed 73 players remaining.

"Do you have a strong hand?" Nagauker asked.

"No," Roman replied with a laugh. He took the full minute and eventually committed the rest of his stack.

Bogdan Roman: Q♦J♠ All in
Idan Nagauker: 10♦10♣

"Flip," Nagauker said after the cards were revealed, and Roman took the lead on the J♣9♥2♣ flop with top pair. The rest of the board ran out 7♠9♣ and he doubled up.

"Thank you guys for understanding," Roman said to the table.

Paul Covaciu opened from early position to 50,000 and Mario Bolduan shoved around 250,000 from the hijack. Once the action was back on Covaciu, he called.

Mario Bolduan: 10♠10♣ All in
Paul Covaciu: A♠J♠

Bolduan had pocket tens and a marginal lead, but fell into a deep hole after Covaviu paired his ace on the 2♠A♥3♦ flop. No tens appeared on the 6♠5♦ runout, and Bolduan hit the rail.

From under the gun, Martin Vittek min-raised and was only called by Sascha Hausner out of the big blind.

Hausner knuckled the action over to Vittek on the 8♠10♦A♠ flop, and Vittek immediately overbet jammed for around 750,000. Hausner didn't long to fold, and Vittek dragged in the pot.
