Juan Pardo opened to 100,000 from the button and Leon Sturm defended from the big blind.

The turn came the 2♠ and Sturm check-called another bet from Pardo, this time for 215,000.

Both players checked the A♣ river. Sturm revealed 8♠4♠ while Pardo tabled J♦8♥ for the winner to take another pot, leaving Sturm with just over five big blinds.

Niveau 18 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Leon Sturm raised to 115,000 from under the gun and the action folded to the short-stacked Sam Grafton in the big blind. He mulled his options for a bit but eventually committed his stack of 325,000 chips and received a swift call from Sturm.

Sam Grafton: A♦8♠
Leon Sturm: K♥J♣

The board double-paired when 2♥10♣2♠9♦10♠ emerged from the deck, and Grafton's ace kicker remained the best hand. He doubled up but is still the player with the least chips on the table.

Niveau 18 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

With two players seeing a board of 10♠9♠4♦ and roughly 300,000 in the middle, Juan Pardo checked from out of position and called a 300,000 bet from Vicente Delgado.

On the 10♣ turn Pardo lead out with a bet of 170,000. Delgado made the call.

Pardo bet again on the 4♥ river, this time sizing down to 125,000. Delgado used one time extension before raising to 1,000,000. This time Pardo needed to use a time extension, but shortly afterwards he flicked in the call.

Delgado could only show 8♦7♠ for a missed straight draw turned into a bluff. Pardo tabled A♦9♠ for two pair, tens and nines to take down a colossal pot and the chip lead.

Niveau 18 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Teun Mulder made it 100,000 from the cutoff and Juan Pardo was the only caller, on the button. The two players saw a flop of Q♠3♣4♦ appear, on which Mulder bet 85,000 and Pardo called. Mulder then upped the ante to 120,000 on the 7♦ turn but Pardo still stuck around with a call.

Ont he K♦ river, Mulder downsized his bet to 90,000, and Pardo mulled it over for a bit before piling in a massive raise of 1,100,000. This sent Mulder into a tank that lasted several minutes and depleted the majority of his time bank extensions. Eventually, however, he made the fold, shipping the pot Pardo's way.

Teun Mulder open-shoved from the button, covering both of his opponents in the blinds. Juan Pardo, with a stack of 880,000, called from the small blind and was at risk.

Juan Pardo: A♦10♣
Teun Mulder: K♦10♥

Pardo was in great shape with a slightly bigger ten and remained ahead on the Q♥7♣8♥J♦3♦ runout to secure a full double up while also making a dent in Mulder's stack.

The action folded to Sam Grafton in the small blind and he open-shoved, covering Leon Sturm's 470,000 stack in the big blind. Sturm quickly called and the cards were tabled.

Leon Sturm: A♥5♦
Sam Grafton: 9♣8♣

The board ran out Q♣Q♦7♦J♥7♥ and Sturm's ace kicker remained in play, giving him the best hand.

"Alright, chop it up," Grafton joked, but he ultimately paid his dues to his neighbour, being left with just over ten big blinds in the proccess.

Quan Zhou - taking a picture of his losing hand

Quan Zhou opened to 300,000 from under the gun, leaving just 100,000 behind. Teun Mulder moved all in from the button with a covering stack and Zhou called and was at risk.

Quan Zhou: A♦Q♣
Teun Mulder: A♥J♥

Zhou was in a great position to double up until the J♣9♠8♣ flop gave Mulder top pair and left Zhou drawing to seven outs. Zhou found no help on the A♠ turn or 8♦ river and was forced to settle for sixth place while collected the last of his chips.
