Level 25 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Villiel Kordonskiy opened to 60,000 in early position and Jose Gomez Casillas three-bet to a hefty 340,000 from the next seat. When the action got back to Kordonskiy, he took a moment before he shoved for 700,000 even, and Casillas snap-called.

Villiel Kordonskiy: A♥A♦ All in
Jose Gomez Casillas : 10♠10♦

Kordonskiy had the goods and the three-bet of Casillas must have been music to his ears. There was still a runout to sweat, but no drama was seen on the 3♣8♠4♥9♦3♥ board, and Kordonskiy doubled up.

Pavel Sergheiciuc raised to 60,000 in middle position, Frederic Thiriet moved all in for 275,000 in the hijack, and Sergheiciuc called.

Frederic Thiriet: A♠4♠ All in
Pavel Sergheiciuc: A♦10♠

Thiriet was dominated and at risk, but the 7♦5♠3♠ flop gave him outs with both straight and flush draws. The J♦ turn wasn't one of them, but Thiriet hit the 2♥ on the river to make a wheel and earn the double up.

The same pattern followed on the K♣ turn, this time in respect of a bet of 115,000 from Loeser.

Level 25 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Frederic Delval in the small blind moved all-in for 460,000. Jorge Ufano in the big blind went deep into the tank and eventually called after the clock was called.

Frederic Delval: A♥9♣ All in
Jorge Ufano: 4♣4♥

"I fold," Ufano joked as the dealer fanned a flop of 9♦9♠10♦. The 8♠7♠ runout completed the board and Delval secured a double up.

A few hands later, Ufano jammed from under the gun and faced Miroslav Matula in middle position.

Jorge Ufano: K♥10♦ All in
Miroslav Matula: K♦Q♦

Matula kept the lead all the way through a board of 8♥3♥9♠A♦K♣ to end Ufano's tournament.
