Level 24 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Grzegorz Derkowski got his last 140,000 into the middle preflop, with Volodymyr Kokoulin trying to bust him and send the tournament to the final table.

Grzegorz Derkowski: Q♦8♦6♥6♣ All in
Volodymyr Kokoulin: A♦10♥10♣7♦

Derkowski needed some help to remain in the tournament. However, the board ran out A♣10♠9♠3♦9♥ to give Kokoulin the best hand with a full house.

Derkowski headed to the rail to collect his tenth-place payout, and the remaining nine players began the redraw for the final table.

Tim Baker

Level 24 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

From under the gun, Javier Francort raised to 210,000 and was immediately three-bet by Grzegorz Derkowski from the cutoff to 720,000. When it got back to Francort, he called to see a flop.

The dealer spread out a flop of 8♦5♣9♦ and Francort bet the pot for 1,580,000 with 90,000 behind. Derkowski jammed with the covering stack and Francort called.

Javier Francort: J♣10♣9♥7♦ All in
Grzegorz Derkowski: Q♠Q♥9♠8♥

Francort had a wrap against the top two pair of Derkowski. Francort took the lead by improving to a straight on the J♠ turn. The 6♦ fell on the river to complete the board, meaning Francort doubled to almost five million, while Derkowski was left with just a few big blinds.

Javier Francort	4,930,000 2,540,000	2,540,000

Level 24 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Grzegorz Derkowski called from the small blind and Volodymyr Kokoulin checked out of the big blind.

Derkowski led out for 60,000 on the 10♣K♠Q♠ flop and Kokoulin called.

An A♣ turn saw checks from both players and the 3♥ completed the board. Derkowski bet 100,000, which got snap-called by Kokoulin.

Derkowski flipped over a straight with J♣9♦4♦2♣, which was good to take down the pot as Kokoulin mucked K♣Q♥7♣2♠.

Grzegorz Derkowski	2,380,000 280,000	280,000
