Nivel 23 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

There was an open before Maher Achour three-bet to 130,000. Gurcan Gungoren then four-bet shoved for a little under 700,000 from the blinds, and once the action got to Achour, he called.

Gurcan Gungoren: J♠J♥ All in
Maher Achour: A♣K♠

Gungoren held the lead with his pocket jacks and stayed out in front after the 9♦7♦8♠ flop. A 6♦ on the turn gave Achour four outs to a chop, but the 4♥ river was a brick and Gungoren doubled up.

Nivel 23 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Jakub Michalak got his last 160,000 or so into the middle preflop, with Osman Aksu being the player trying to send him home.

Jakub Michalak: A♣10♦ All in
Osman Aksu: 8♣8♦

Aksu only had roughly 50,000 more than Michalak, so this race was crucial for both players. The board came 7♦A♠4♦5♣2♠ to give Michalak the winner with a pair of aces on the flop. Michalak doubled up, and Aksu was left with just a few big blinds.

Nichan Khorchidian made it 50,000 from middle position and Andrei Spataru three-bet to 220,000 from the small blind. When it got back to Khorchidian, he took his time before he dropped in the call.

They saw a flop of Q♣3♣9♦ and Spataru made a continuation-bet of 125,000. Khorchidian was again taking his time and after he mulled it over, he shoved for a little under 700,000. Spataru rechecked his cards then tossed them into the muck, and Khorchidian added to his stack.

Nivel 23 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Timur Mukhamedaminov raised the cutoff to 50,000 and Alexander Sazhinov defended his big blind with just 40,000 behind.

Sazhinov checked the 6♦10♦K♣ flop, and Mukhamedaminov bet enough to put him all in. Sazhinov quickly called.

Alexander Sazhinov: A♠6♣ All in
Timur Mukhamedaminov: K♠J♠

Sazhinov had bottom pair but was behind to the top pair of Mukhamedaminov. The 2♣ turn and 9♦ river didn't help Sazhinov, and he was out of the tournament.

There was an open from middle position to 50,000 and Andrija Cvetkovic three-bet from the cutoff to 130,000 before Dawid Smolka four-bet the button to 260,000 .The hijack folded and Cvetkovic shoved for around 600,000. After a few seconds, Smolka called.

Andrija Cvetkovic: K♦K♥ All in
Dawid Smolka: A♦Q♠

Cvetkovic was miles ahead with his Cowboys and remained in the lead after the 4♣6♠2♠ flop. However, the A♥ turn put Cvetkovic one card away from elimination as Smolka paired his ace to take the lead.

Smolka improved further when the Q♥ landed on the river, giving him two pair and send Cvetkovic to the rail in the penultimate level of Day 3.
