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

Andre Akkari open-jammed a stack of 385,000 form the cutoff and Curtis Knight called in the small blind with a bigger stack.

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.

Simon Wiciak opened to 100,000 from early position with 10♠10♦ and Pedro Lopes called from the button with A♣Q♥.

On the 4♦ river Wiciak bet again for 350,000. Lopes put in the call with ace-high only to see the bad news when Wiciak showed down his pocket-tens to take down a healthy pot.

Van Marcus raised to 115,000 from under the gun before Mihai Niste, in middle position, three-bet to 600,000 leaving himself just 130,000 behind. Marcus gave up his hand.

A few hands later, Khazret Nebezhev raised to 110,000 on the button and Niste then moved all in for 825,000. Nebezhev also folded.

"Do you play Spin n' Gos? All you know how to do is this," Santiago Plante said to Niste, making a shoving motion.

Niste then raised to 125,000 on the button and Andre Akkari called in the big blind. The flop came 3♥K♠Q♦ and Niste won the pot with a bet of 75,000.

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.

Action was heads up with 500,000 in the middle and K♦3♠J♣A♥3♣ on the board when Daniyar Aubakirov bet 800,000 to send Sandor Hadnagy into the tank.

After a few moments of thought, Hadnagy tossed in the chips to call and turned over K♥4♣ for a pair of kings. Aubakirov showed a dusty 6♠5♠ and tossed it in the muck.

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.

Ezequiel Waigel	2,770,000 480,000	480,000
