Level 32 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

"No gamble, just one time," Jose Gomez's rail yelled out to him.

"They almost sucked out on me. Eight-four against queen-ten," Gomez replied.

Alexandru Izuric then moved all in for 955,000 in the cutoff and Marcin Kacprzak reshoved for 1,400,000 on the button. "He gamble," Gomez said. Juan Velasco took a minute before folding the small blind, while Ivan Fedor quickly gave up his big blind.

Alexandru Izuric: A♦10♣ All in
Marcin Kacprzak: K♦K♣

Izuric was looking for an ace to stay alive as the flop came J♥8♦2♥, but the K♥ turn improved Kacprzak to a set. Izuric needed a queen on the river, but he missed the 3♥ and was eliminated in 15th place.

"See, I'm a good teacher," Gomez added after the hand.

Level 33 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Jose Gomez Casillas is continuing to confuse his table and reaping in the rewards. He just opened to 2,800,000 from under the gun, and got everybody else to fold.

After getting a walk, he shoved the small blind into Miroslav Matula, who had just moved to the table. Matula had around 4,400,000 in his stack to begin the hand, but quickly folded and Casillas added yet more chips.

David Hu raised from middle position to 450,000 and Sergiu Cornea called in the big blind, leaving 260,000 behind.

The flop came Q♦3♥6♠, and Cornea shoved 260,000, which Hu quickly called.

Sergiu Cornea: A♠4♣ All in
David Hu : A♥K♥

Cornea needed a lot of help, and found some hope on the 5♥ turn with a straight draw. That same card gave Hu a flush draw, which he completed on the 9♥ river, ending Cornea's run in 14th.

Level 33 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Josef Obermeier got two shoves through and effectively doubled his stack up to almost 2,200,000.

In the one flop that has been seen in the past few orbits, Marcin Kacprzak limped the small blind and Juan Velasco checked his option in the big blind.

On the 6♦A♠9♥ flop, a bet of 200,000 did the trick for Kacprzak as Velasco folded K♠10♣.
