Niveau 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

A three-way all-in pot played out between Sergey Fedyaev, Lan Haoyenan, and Sergei Varnaev with them all getting their stacks in the middle.

Lan Haoyenan: A♦10♦ All in
Sergei Varnaev: 10♣10♠ All in
Sergey Fedyaev: K♥10♥

Fedyaev had both players covered and Haoyenan held the shortest stack with 70,000, meaning he would need to beat both opponents in order to stay alive. Varnaev had the best hand and with 82,000 in his stack, had to effectively win a flip in order to triple up.

However, Varnaev's hand went from best to worst on the A♣K♣6♣ flop, though he did add a flush draw to give himself a chance at survival. The J♥ turn gave each player a gutshot to Broadway, but the 5♠ river was a brick, which meant Varnaev was eliminated, and Haoyenan tripled up.

Niveau 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Shankui Li raised the button and Herodotos Herodotou called from the big blind.

On the A♠7♠9♥ flop, Herodotou checked and Li bet 16,000, then some confusion followed as Herodotou put in 26,000 in chips, which was intended to be a call. However, the dealer informed Herodotou that this was deemed to be a raise, and a min-raise to 32,000 was enforced on the local player. Li then shoved, and Herodotou tanked for a while before he folded, preserving his remaining 55,000.

Shortly after, Herodotou was eliminated.

Niveau 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On a flop of K♠4♦6♠, Pouya Ranjehdel had fired 14,000 and Davide Nughes shoved for 120,000. "I don't think I can fold this hand," said Ranjehdel, before he stuck in the call.

Davide Nughes: K♣J♣ All in
Pouya Ranjehdel: 7♠5♠

It was clear to see why Ranjehdel couldn't fold his hand as he had both straight and flush draws to try and crack the top pair of Nughes. Ranjehdel only needed one shot as the 4♠ on the turn gave him a flush, and Nughes couldn't boat up on the 2♥ river.

Niveau 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Peter Charalambous sat in the big blind an all-in triangle in front of him and his stack of 96,000 in the middle. Shankui Li looked him up in the cutoff, leading to a showdown.

Peter Charalambous: Q♥Q♣ All in
Shankui Li: 7♥7♦

"Ah, shit," Charalambous said as the flop came out 6♣7♠8♠. Li had flopped a set, leaving Charalambous with two outs in the deck.

They did not arrive on the K♦ turn or 8♥ river and he said his goodbyes to his former tablemates. Meanwhile, Li received his chips as his stack ascended to more than 100 big blinds.

Niveau 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action folded to Pablo Brito on the button, who decided to size up with his open, pumping it up to 36,000. Nicolas Betbese was in the small blind, and he produced a three-bet to 78,000. After a long period of thought, Brito, with about 160,000 behind, just called.

On the 10♠7♦3♥ flop, Betbese took his time before moving all in with the covering stack, sending Brito into the tank. After around two minutes of thought, Brito made the call.

Pablo Brito: A♣Q♦ All in
Nicolas Betbese: K♠K♥

Brito was in big trouble with ace-high versus Betbese's cowboys, and the 8♥10♦ turn and river were bricks to send Brito to the exit.

Leo Worthington-Leese raised to 12,000 under the gun. Pablo Minguez called in the seat next over before the action folded to PokerStars' Benjamin Spragg in the small blind.

He was down to 50,000, which he promptly put in the middle. Worthington-Leese looked him up before Minguez quickly got out of the way.

Benjamin Spragg: K♦K♣ All in
Leo Worthington-Leese: J♥J♣

"What a scorcher," Worthington-Leese said regarding Spragg's hand.

It started to look like a comfortable double-up for Spragg when the 5♣A♦4♥ flop and 5♥ turn posed no threat. The river came the J♠, however, giving Worthington-Leese a full house to send out Spragg.

"That's also a scorcher," Worthington-Leese noted.

The pair exchanged some banter before Spragg joined his fellow Red Spade Fintan Hand, who had busted some minutes earlier, on the rail.

Sebastien Compte opened from the hijack to 13,000. Stephan Kurland defended the big blind. He checked the 3♥4♦9♥ turn to Compte.

Compte then bet 9,000 before Kurland moved all in for 70,000. Compte asked for a count before making a quick call as the covering stack.

Stephan Kurland: 8♦4♣ All in
Sebastien Compte: 9♠6♠

Kurland couldn't improve over the A♥ turn and the 10♦ river and was sent to the rail.

Niveau 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On a flop of 6♠7♣6♣ in a single-raised pot, Manuel Carvalho check-shoved his stack of 36,000 over a continuation-bet of 15,000 from Marios Stefani. After just a few seconds, Stefani called which put Carvalho at risk.

Manuel Carvalho: 9♦7♠ All in
Marios Stefani: A♠10♥

Carvalho was well in the lead and even removed some of Stefani's outs when the 8♥ fell on the turn. However, the disastrous A♣ landed on the river, which sent Carvalho packing.

Pora Gets Richer After Eliminating Wisniewski

Niveau 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Tomasz Wisniewski opened the cutoff to 12,000 and Dumitru Pora three-bet from the small blind to 40,000. Wisniewski then four-bet to 82,000, leaving himself just 2,000 behind.

"I'll wait 30 seconds before I go all in," said Pora in an attempt to help Wisniewski make a pay jump. Pora then shoved, then almost immediately the clock was called on Wisniewski and a 30-second countdown was initiated. When the countdown got to 2 seconds remaining, Wisniewski called.

Tomasz Wisniewski: A♣K♣ All in
Dumitru Pora: 10♦10♣

Wisniewski couldn't find any piece on the 9♠8♣7♦2♠10♥ runout, which meant he was eliminated — without making a pay jump — as Pora improved to a set.
