Nivel 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Philipp Wood made it 160,000 to go from the hijack and Esper Sadek called from the cutoff.

The pair saw a flop of J♣7♠5♠ where Wood made a small continuation-bet of 130,000, which Sadek quickly called.

Wood slowed down with a check on the 10♠ turn, then Sadek took the chance to fire out 210,000. Wood called.

When the A♣ dropped on the river, Wood checked again and Sadek bet out 485,000. Within just a second, Wood had called.

Sadek then showed K♠Q♣ for Broadway, and Wood mucked.

Dan Borlan raised from the hijack and Gaspare Sposato called from the big blind.

On a flop of 2♣6♣J♠, Sposato checked from the big blind and Borlan fired out a bet of 150,000. Sposato then raised to 500,000, and Borlan called.

When the K♥ landed on the turn, Sposato shoved for around 1,200,000, and Borlan snap-called.

Gaspare Sposato: K♣Q♣ All in
Dan Borlan: 2♠2♥

Sposato had top pair with a flush draw, but Borlan's bottom set was a huge favorite to scoop the pot. A 7♠ on the river was the wrong shade of black for Sposato, and he was out in 20th.

Paul Newey shoved his stack of around 800,000 into the middle from the hijack and Murat Bayyurt also shoved from the cutoff.

Paul Newey: 5♦5♠ All in
Murat Bayyurt: A♣K♥

Another tournament, another flip, and this one was spicy as both improved on the 10♣5♣6♣ flop with Newey making a set and Bayyurt having the nut flush draw. A 4♠ on the turn was safe for Newey, but he couldn't swerve the 7♣ river as Bayyurt made a flush.

Sachin Joshi opened from early position and then called the shove of Boris Kolev, who had around 500,000 in his stack.

Boris Kolev: A♠Q♥ All in
Sachin Joshi: 10♠10♦

Kolev needed to win the flip to remain in contention, but didn't find much to work with on the 4♥J♦2♥ flop. A J♠ turn also was no help, and Kolev made his way to the exit when the 2♠ fell on the river.

Nivel 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Georgios Skarparis raised from late position and then called the 600,000 shove from Alisa Sibgatova.

Alisa Sibgatova: A♠Q♥ All in
Georgios Skarparis: Q♣J♠

Skarparis was dominated and looked posied to be sending over a portion of his stack to Sibgatova. The flop of 8♦4♥5♣ kept Sibgatova ahead with ace-high. The 9♥ turn meant only a jack on the river would send her home. The brutal J♦ dropped on the river to give Skarparis the winner with a pair of jacks and Sibgatova was sent to the cashier's desk.

Nivel 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Sofia Merkulova shoved for 790,000 from middle position and after it folded round to Nicolae Paunescu in the big blind, he snap-called.

Sofia Merkulova: A♥K♥ All in
Nicolae Paunescu: A♠A♦

Merkulova was in the worst possible shape with Big Slick against the aces of Paunescu. A clean runout of 6♠4♠7♠9♣6♥ meant Paunescu's aces stayed ahead the whole way, and Merkulova was out.

Nivel 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

With the elimination of Mario Colavita, it meant just 25 players remained, one away from the three table redraw.

Georgios Skarparis had the chance to make the redraw happen as he had Xin Yuan at risk for a pot worth around 3,000,000.

Xin Yuan: A♦Q♦ All in
Georgios Skarparis: J♥J♦

It was a fair fight and one that looked to be going Yuan's way as the 5♣2♥A♣ flop gave him top pair. A 2♣ on the turn was a brick, but the J♠ river meant Skarparis spiked a full house to snatch the pot away and send Yuan to the rail.
