Nivel 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Oren Meir rasied to 40,000 from the cutoff and Dmitry Gromov three-bet to 100,000 from the button. Andreas Mavromoustakis four-bet to 250,000 from the big blind, which only Gromov called.

Mavromoustakis put out a continuation-bet of 90,000 on the A♠6♦10♦ flop, and Gromov slid in the call.

The 6♠ appeared on the turn and Mavromoustakis bet out again, this time for 300,000. Gromov again slid out the call.

Mavromoustakis slowed down and checked when the 3♣ river fell. Gromov bet 625,000 and Mavromoustakis snap-called.

Gromov turned over the goods with 10♠10♥ for a flopped set that turned into a boat, as Mavromoustakis showed A♣K♣ for top pair top kicker.

Simeon Spasov raised the button to 50,000 and Ihar Soika shoved from the small blind for 860,000. Can Miral was in the big blind and after some thinking time, he shoved for a little bit. Spasov folded.

Ihar Soika: Q♦J♦ All in
Can Miral: 9♦9♣

Soika was flipping for his tournament life and picked up a lot more outs on the 7♣10♦3♦ as he gained a flush draw. More outs arrived on the A♠ turn as Soika added a gutshot, but the 7♠ river was a brick, and Soika was eliminated.

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

Umberto Ruggeri raised to 50,000 from the hijack with only Tamer Kamel calling from the button.

The two players saw the dealer fan out a flop of 7♦7♥6♠. Ruggeri checked, and Kamel bet 30,000. Ruggeri check-raised to 155,000, which Kamel called.

Ruggeri continued the aggression on the 3♥ turn, firing out 235,000. Kamel called again.

When the 4♥ dropped on the river Ruggeri slowed down and checked. Kamel now bet out for 680,000, and after a few moments, Ruggeri let his hand go.

Marwan Salamoun opened from under the gun to 50,000 and Nichan Khorchidian called in the next seat. Joseph Chemaly called from the hijack, then Pierre Jreige shoved for 155,000 from the small blind. Salamoun and Khorchidian both called, then Chemaly shoved for around 650,000. Salamoun folded, but Khorchidian called to put two players at risk.

Pierre Jreige: A♦Q♥ All in
Joseph Chemaly: A♥J♣ All in
Nichan Khorchidian: A♠10♠

Jreige had the best of it and stayed in the lead through the 5♠9♦9♥ flop as his kicker played.

"Five or a ten," shouted Khorchidian, who was hoping to scoop the pot. However, neither the 4♦ turn nor A♣ river changed the outcome of the hand. Jreige quadrupled up, and Chemaly took the side pot.

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

Ludovic Uzan got the last of his chips into the middle preflop from early position with Mihai Niste making the call from the button to try and bust him.

Ludovic Uzan: 6♦6♥ All in
Mihai Niste: A♠J♥

Since the bubble burst, Uzan had been in survival mode. Now, he was in a race for his tournament life.

The runout of 5♦2♠J♠8♦Q♣ was great for Niste as he flopped a pair of jacks to secure the pot, and sent Uzan to the cashier's desk.

Nivel 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Candido Cappiello opened to 60,000 from the hijack with Renars Skanis calling on the button. Mihai Niste squeezed to 290,000 from the big blind, and Cappiell four-bet shoved for 1,250,000. Skanis folded, but Niste called for roughly half his stack.

Candido Cappiello: A♥K♠ All in
Mihai Niste: A♦Q♣

Cappiello's Big Slick had Niste dominated. The flop came 6♥7♥8♠ and Cappiello stayed in front. The 9♠ turn offered Niste some chop outs. However, the J♠ wasn't one of them and Cappiello doubled up through Nitse.

Umberto Ruggeri: 10♥10♣ All in
Walid Bou Habib: A♠J♥

It was a flip that Ruggeri needed to win to have a chance of making it through to the penultimate day of the Main Event. The board ran out Q♥6♦9♦5♠9♠ which kept Ruggeri ahead the whole way, and he doubled at the expense of Habib.

Osman Aksu: A♠9♠ All in
Dmitry Gromov: K♠K♥

Aksu couldn't find any spades or an ace to crack the pocket kings of Gromov, as the board ran out 3♣5♥J♦7♦8♥, and all of Aksu's chips were sent over to Gromov.

Renars Skanis opened from under the gun to 80,000 and Ryan Mandara called on the button, before Candido Cappiello made it 420,000 from the small blind. Skanis took back his initial raise and dropped in calling chips, and Mandara folded.

They saw a flop of 5♠7♥J♦ where Cappiello put out a bet of 240,000, which Skanis called pretty quickly.

Cappiello slowed down and tapped the table when the 10♥ rolled off on the turn, then Skanis thought for some time before he slid out a bet of 600,000. Before Skanis could even release his hands from the chips, Cappiello had folded.

Candido Cappiello raised to 80,000 from early position and Renars Skanis three-bet to 250,000 from the hijack. After it folded back to Cappiello, he called to see the flop.

The dealer fanned out a flop of 4♦4♥10♥ and Cappiello check-called a bet of 150,000 from Skanis.

The A♠ turn checked through and the 7♣ dropped on the river. Cappiello bet 210,000 and Skanis snap-called. Cappiello showed Q♠Q♣ for a pair of queens but lost to the A♦5♠ of Skanis for a pair of aces on the turn.
