Nivel 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Adrian State raised to 160,000 under the gun and Georgios Skarparis defended from the big blind.

The flop came down 3♠J♣4♠ and Skarparis check-called a bet of 180,000 from State.

The 8♦ fell on the turn and Skarparis check-called another bet from State, this time for 800,000.

After Skarparis checked the 10♠ river, State shoved for Skarparis' remaining 1,800,000. Skarparis thought about the decision for around a minute before he slid his cards into the muck, forfeiting the pot to State.

Nivel 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ionut-Alexandru Moldovan raised to 175,000 from the cutoff and Tamazi Skhirtladze called on the button. Renars Skanis in the small blind and Johan Guilbert in the big blind also came along.

The four saw a flop of Q♠J♠7♠, which checked around to the Q♥ turn, which also checked through.

When the 7♣ dropped on the river, Skanis checked and Guilbert bet 700,000. Moldovan thought for a while before he called, then both Skhirtladze and Skanis quickly folded.

Guilbert showed 8♦6♥ for a bluff, and Moldovan showed a full house with 10♦7♦ to scoop the pot.

Nivel 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Tamazi Skhirtladze raised to 175,000 from the hijack and Johan Guilbert shoved for 900,000 from the button. After getting a count from the dealer, Skhirtladze called.

Johan Guilbert: A♣Q♠ All in
Tamazi Skhirtladze: K♠Q♦

Guilbert was in a great spot to double up if he could fade a king. However, the flop of 7♣K♥10♠ put Skhirtladze in the lead with a pair of kings. The rest of the board ran out 4♣Q♣ and Guilbert was sent to the rail in twenty-fifth place.

The action folded around to Nils Pudel in the small blind, who shoved for around 700,000. Tamazi Skhirtladze was in the big blind and called.

Nils Pudel: A♥5♠ All in
Tamazi Skhirtladze: J♣J♠

Pudel needed to find his overcard, but didn't manage to do it as the Q♥8♣K♥9♦7♦ runout meant he was out in 24th.

Ionut-Alexandru Moldovan raised from middle position to 175,000, and Hassanin Hashim shoved for 555,000 from the hijack. After getting a count from the dealer Moldovan called to put Hashim at risk.

Hassanin Hashim: A♠K♥ All in
Ionut-Alexandru Moldovan: Q♠J♣

Hashim was ahead with Big Slick, but Moldovan had two live cards he could hit to send him to the rail. The board ran out Q♥6♣3♦6♠7♥ to give Moldovan the winner with a pair of queens on the flop, sending Hashim to the payout desk in twenty-third place.

Tamazi Skhirtladze opened from under the gun to 160,000 and Umberto Ruggeri three-bet from the hijack to 490,000. Andrey Litvinov, who had just doubled up, was in the big blind and shoved for around 1,000,000. Skhirtladze folded, but Ruggeri snap-called.

Andrey Litvinov: J♦J♣ All in
Umberto Ruggeri: K♠K♥

Ruggeri's hot run had continued and he was on the brink of eliminating a player from the field. A flop of 2♠9♦2♣ didn't offer much help to Litvinov, and neither did the 9♠ turn. The 4♣ landed on the river, which meant Litvinov was eliminated.

Nivel 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Tamer Kamel raised from the button to 160,000 and Rashad Iskandarov defended out of the big blind.

The flop came down A♠J♦9♦ and the action checked to Kamel. He bet 100,000 and was met by a check-raise to 300,000 from Iskandarov. Kamel called.

Iskandarov checked when the 8♦ landed on the turn and Kamel put out a bet of 200,000. Iskandarov called.

The 4♦ hit the river and Iskandarov checked again. Kamel bet again for 200,000 and Iskandarov reluctantly called.

Kamel flipped over the nut flush with A♦K♦ and Iskandarov mucked his cards.

After just losing most of his, Iskandarov was left with just 400,000 and got them all into the middle against Dmitry Gromov on a ten-high board with Kx10x, running into pocket tens of Gromov, meaning he was out of the tournament in 21st.

Nivel 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Ahmad Abdelhadi made it 600,000 to go from under the gun, and left himself with around 50,000 behind. Renars Skanis called from the hijack, then Cagdas Ersoy shoved for 1,520,000 from the big blind. Abdelhadi put in his last chips, and Skanis snap-called to put two players at risk.

Ahmad Abdelhadi: A♠7♠ All in
Cagdas Ersoy: A♣Q♠ All in
Renars Skanis: A♦K♦

Skanis was in a great position to send two players to the rail in one hand, but needed to fade a lot of outs after the 10♥2♠8♠ flop gave Abdelhadi a flush draw. The J♥ turn gave everybody a straight draw, and the 9♥ river gave both Abdelhadi and Ersoy a straight. However, Ersoy had the higher straight and the bigger stack, which meant Abdelhadi was out in 20th.

Ersoy was down to just one big blind yesterday, and now has around 4,000,000!

Cagdas Ersoy	4,000,000 3,300,000	3,300,000

Nivel 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Edward Quinn opened to 200,000 from the cutoff with only Adrian State calling from the small blind.

State checked the K♣J♣4♥ flop and Quinn put out a continuation-bet of 250,000. State check-raised to 625,000, and after burning through one of his time bank cards, Quinn put in the call.

The turn came the Q♥ and State shoved for roughly 2,300,000. Quinn thought about it for a few moments and then made the call with slightly more chips than State.

Adrian State: A♥5♥ All in
Edward Quinn: K♥J♠

Quinn was ahead right now with two pair, kings and jacks, but State had picked up straight and flush draws on the turn. The river came the J♥, which improved State to the flush while also giving Quinn a full house. Quinn virtually doubled up and State was sent to the cashier's desk.
