Aneris Adomkevicius raised to 22,000 from middle position and Andrei Konopelko was the only caller on the button.

On the 5♣7♦K♣ flop, Adomkevicius made a continuation-bet of 23,000, which Konopelko called to the 6♠ turn. Again Adomkevicius made a bet, this time for 38,000, which again Konopelko called.

When the 7♥ dropped on the river, Adomkevicius fired a third bullet into the pot of 55,000, and without much hesitation, Konopelko called.

"Bluff," said Adomkevicius as he showed Q♦8♦. Konopelko stayed silent then revealed he had flopped a king with K♦10♦ to scoop the pot.

Soraya Estrada made it 16,000 from under the gun and Axel Hallay called.

Both saw the flop of 9♣7♠9♥ where Hallay checked, Estrada bet 13,000, Hallay raised to 35,000, and Estrada called.

The 6♦ on the turn drew another bet out of Hallay, this time for 27,000. Again Estrada called and the river came a 5♦, putting a four-liner on board. Hallay gathered chips and threw a bet of 110,000 into the pot, and after around 20 seconds, Estrada called.

Hallay then showed a straight with 8♦6♠, and Estrada mucked.

Nivel 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Arriving at the table, a massive pot was brewing between Ludovic Geilich and Razvan Sabau.

According to a player at the table table, Sabau had opened to 16,000 from early position and Geilich had three-bet from the big blind. Sabau then four-bet to roughly 200,000, and Geilich called.

Geilich checked the 6♦2♣10♠ flop, then called after Sabau continued with a bet.

The turn brought the 10♣ and Geilich checked again. Sabau moved all in for 550,000, sending Geilich deep into the tank. Eventually, Geilich slammed in a call.

Razvan Sabau: 9♥7♥ All in
Ludovic Geilich: Q♣Q♦

Geilich was well ahead with his pocket queens against Sabau’s audacious bluff, holding nine-high and a gutshot straight draw. The river brought the 2♠, which was no help to Sabau, who was eliminated. Geilich scooped the massive pot and surged to over two million chips.

Nivel 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Carlos Aoun raised to 17,000 from the cutoff with Shai Zurr calling from the small blind before Mantas Bagocius squeezed all in from the big blind for roughly 190,000. Aoun folded, but Zurr made the call to put Bagocius at risk.

Mantas Bagocius: Q♠10♠ All in
Shai Zurr: A♣Q♦

Zurr had made the right call and found himself in a great spot to bust Bagocius, and add a huge amount of chips to his stack. However, the flop came down K♥10♥6♥ to put Bagocius in the lead with a pair of tens. The rest of the board ran out Q♣8♦ and Bagocius doubled up thanks to a lot of help from the dealer.

Akin Tuna wasn’t about to get reeled in.

The action began when Tuna opened the pot to 16,000 from middle position and Fredrico Senno came along on the button. Sami Ayyoub flicked in a call from the small blind, and Leonid Orman completed the action from the big.

The flop came 8♣6♠6♦—a slippery one—and after it was checked around, Tuna tossed out a continuation-bet of 22,000. Senno swam away, but Ayyoub bumped it up to 55,000. Orman got out of the net, while Tuna decided to stick around in deeper waters.

The 7♣ on the turn didn’t slow Ayyoub down, as he fired another shot—this time for 56,000. But Tuna still wasn’t floundering, making the call once again.

The river 2♥ brought one final bet into the current: Ayyoub pushed a third barrel into the pot of 83,000. Tuna didn’t snap it off, but after a brief tank, he made the call and proudly tabled 9♠8♥ for eights and sixes. Ayyoub mucked his hand with a nod, simply saying, “Nice call.”

Tuna proved once again he’s no small fry—he’s here to go the distance.

Nivel 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Konstantin Kvashin opened to 16,000 from early position, and Boris Kolev three-bet to approximately 50,000 from the next seat. Action folded back to Kvashin, who four-bet to 175,000. Kolev took a moment before eventually making the call.

The dealer fanned out a flop of Q♠3♠6♥, and both players checked.

On the 4♦ turn, Kvashin fired a delayed continuation-bet of 181,000. Kolev again took some time but ultimately folded, sending the pot Kvashin's way.
