Nivel 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

A pot of around 500,000 had already brewed between Mario Colavita and Andrei Roscan on a board of A♦J♥6♣A♠5♠ when Colavita fired a quarter-pot bet of 125,000 on the river. Roscan went into the tank for around two minutes and seemed no closer to making a decision.

Eventually, Roscan did eventually click the call button and mucked when he was shown A♣2♥ by Colavita.

Nivel 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Ashraf Akeh limped from the hijack and Darius Neagoe raised to 40,000 from the cutoff. After the rest of the table folded, Akeh called to see a flop.

When the flop came down 9♦9♥8♣ Akeh shoved for around 70,000 and Neagoe called.

Ashraf Akeh: 6♣6♠ All in
Darius Neagoe: A♠10♠

Akeh had shoved when the safe flop had fallen and just needed to fade the turn and river to double. However, the A♣ turn propelled Neagoe into the lead with top pair. The 10♣ river didn't help Akeh, and he was sent to the rail.

Nivel 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Esper Sadek just approached PokerNews to explain a huge hand he just played.

Sadek raised under the gun to 25,000 before a short-stacked player shoved for 160,000. Sachin Joshi then jammed over the top with a stack that covered the entire table. After it folded back to Sadek he called for his remaining 500,000.

Esper Sadek: 10x10x All in
Short-Stacked Player: AxJx All in
Sachin Joshi: QxQx

If Joshi could hold with pocket queens, he would move up to almost a stack of two million. However, the board ran out very unfavorably for Joshi as it came 9♠3♠7x8x6x to give Sadek the winner with a rivered ten-high straight.

It looks like Damir Zhugralin is the current chip leader with around 2,200,000 in his stack right now as the bubble slowly approaches.

Nivel 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Esper Sadek just described another big hand he played. Sadek said there was a limp from under the gun before Sadek called from the small blind and the big blind player checked.

The three players saw a flop of 2x5x6x and the action checked to the under the gun player, who bet 25,000. Only Sadek called.

Sadek checked again on the Q♦ turn and his opponent bet 80,000. Sadek check-shoved to put his opponent all-in, and after a few moments, the under the gun player called for his last 250,000.

Under The Gun Player: AxAx All in
Esper Sadek:4x3x

The under the gun player was drawing dead after slow-playing pocket aces, as Sadek had flopped the nut straight. There was an inconsequential river and Sadek had eliminated another player.

With around 90,000 in the middle on a monotone 10♣3♣Q♣ flop, Grigorii Rodin checked from the big blidn and Nemo Koering fired out 20,000. Rodin then raised to 60,000, and Koering quickly called.

A 2♠ on the turn saw Rodin quickly bet out 78,000, and Koering thought it over for a while before he folded.

Nivel 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Lachezar Petkov opened from early position to 30,000 with Damir Zhugralin calling on the button, and Stanislaw Grodek defending out of the big blind.

Three-way to a flop of K♦9♠6♠ which got checked around for the 7♣ to hit the turn. Grodek checked, and Petkov fired out a bet of 55,000. Zhugralin folded, but Grodek carved out the call.

Grodek checked again on the 3♠ river and Petkov put out a bet of 165,000. Grodek quickly folded, and Petkov pulled in the pot.

Nivel 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Nicolae Paunescu got his last 150,000 into the middle preflop with Xin Yuan making the call to try and send him to the rail.

Nicolae Paunescu : 6♠6♦ All in
Xin Yuan: A♠8♠

It was a classic race that was crucial for Paunescu. The 6♣9♥J♣ flop was favorable for Paunescu, as he improved to a set of sixes and could only lose to running cards. The rest of the board came 9♣J♥ and Paunescu doubled up at the expense of Yuan.

Jugador	Fichas	Progreso
Xin Yuan	900,000 450,000	450,000
