Nivel 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Hadi Khordbin opened to 400,000 and Ziad Menhem three-bet shoved for 2,100,000 from the cutoff. Dawid Smolka re-shoved from the small blind, covering both players, and Khordbin quickly folded.

Ziad Menhem: 8♣8♥ All in
Dawid Smolka: A♣K♥

Smolka made top pair on the K♣3♠6♠ flop leaving Menhem drawing to two outs. No eights materialized when the rest of the board ran out 7♣A♦ and Menhem became the second player to fall at the final table.

Georges Chehade opened to 400,000 from under the gun and Dawid Smolka defended from the big blind.

The flop came K♣5♥3♣ and Smolka check-called a 275,000 bet from Chehade.

Both players then checked the 5♠ turn and 9♣ river. Smolka had kings up with K♦2♦ which was enough to take the pot.

Nivel 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Pouya Ranjehdel shoved from the hijack for 650,000 and was called by Georges Chehade who had him covered from the hijack.

Pouya Ranjehdel: A♦K♦ All in
Georges Chehade: 5♠5♥

Chehade made a set on the 5♣J♥3♠ flop meaning Ranjehdel would need to make a running straight to extend his tournament life. He picked up a gutshot on the 4♦ turn but the K♣ river was a brick and Ranjehdel was sent to the rail on the final table bubble.
