Niveau 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Pedro Lopes opened to 100,000 from under the gun and Ezequiel Waigel three-bet to 275,000. Lopes four-bet to 860,000, leaving only 120,000 behind. Waigel moved all in with a covering stack, sending Lopes deep into the tank.

With a pay jump coming up after the next elimination, Lopes used seven time extension chips before putting in the call to put himself at risk.

Pedro Lopes: K♣Q♣
Ezequiel Waigel: J♠J♦

It was a classic flip preflop, however, Waigel was left drawing close to dead when Lopes hit a flush on the 10♣5♣4♣ flop. Waigel picked up some outs when the board paired on the 5♦ turn but the 2♠ river was a blank and Lopes received a full double up at Waigel's expense.

Khazret Nebezhev raised to 125,000 from the hijack and Joao Sydenstricker called in the big blind.

The flop came Q♠4♦7♠ and Nebezhev continued for 100,000. Sydenstricker then raised to 325,000 and Nebezhev quickly called.

Sydenstricker led out for 240,000 on the 5♦ turn and Nebezhev again called. The river came the J♦ and Sydenstricker, nearly covering his entire face with the collar of his red sweater, used three time bank cards before betting 1,500,000.

Nebezhev called all in for his last 1,195,000 and Sydenstricker was forced to show K♦6♠ for a bluff. Nebezhev turned over A♦8♦ for a rivered flush as he doubled up.

"I told you never bluff," Nebezhev told Sydenstricker.

Andre Akkari: K♣Q♠
Curtis Knight: A♣Q♦

Akkari was dominated and got no help from the flop of 2♠5♦10♠, but the A♦ turn improved his outs by giving him a gutshot. The dealer then put down the J♥ river to give him Broadway and earn the PokerStars Pro a double.

Carl Shaw raised to 115,000 in the cutoff and was called by Felipe Morell on the button and Mircea Flutur in the big blind.

The flop came K♦10♣7♣ and action checked to Shaw who bet 200,000. Morelli folded, but Flutur then moved all in for 450,000. Shaw snap-called.

Mircea Flutur: J♣6♣
Carl Shaw: 10♠7♦

Shaw had two pair, while Flutur was chasing a flush draw. The turn came the A♣ and Flutur completed his flush to take the lead. Shaw needed to fill up on the river to score the knockout but instead saw the 8♠ fall as Flutur, the last remaining online qualifier in the field, doubled up.

Niveau 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Daniyar Aubakirov opened to 100,000 on the button and Samuel Fournier called in the small blind.

Fournier checked on the flop of Q♥K♦Q♣ and Aubakirov checked back. Fournier then bet 80,000 on the 5♥ turn and Aubakirov called.

The 6♦ river completed the board and Fournier bet a hefty 420,000. Aubakirov responded with a small raise to 830,000 to send Fournier into the tank.

"I have aces, my friend," Fournier said as he thought through a decision.

Fournier eventually called as Aubakirov showed a jack-high bluff with J♣10♥. Fournier did indeed have aces as he showed A♥A♦ to win the pot.
