Niveau 31 : Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Dmitry Gromov raised to 350,000 from the cutoff and Felipe Ketzer called from the big blind,

On the 4♦7♥8♥ flop, both players elected to check to the A♥ turn where Ketzer tapped the table and Gromov fired 600,000. Ketzer then shoved for 1,650,000, and Gromov quickly called.

Felipe Ketzer: 8♣7♦ All in
Dmitry Gromov: A♣9♥

Ketzer was in the lead but had to dodge a lot of outs as Gromov could spike to pair or hit a flush. However, none of Gromov's outs came as the Q♠ hit the river, which earned Ketzer a double-up late on Day 4.

Bogdan Jontulovic: K♣K♠

Niveau 31 : Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Adrian State raised the cutoff to 300,000 and Bogdan Jontulovic shoved from the big blind. State had 1,400,000 to start the hand and made the call, which left him at risk.

Adrian State: A♥9♥ All in
Bogdan Jontulovic: 9♦9♠

It wasn't an ideal situation for State, but he made the most of it as the A♦7♣7♦ flop gave him top pair, and left Jontulovic with just one out. The K♠ turn and J♣ river didn't change anything, which meant State doubled up off Jontulovic again.

Roman Gadzhiev opened to 325,000 from the cutoff and Bogdan Jontulovic three-bet to 700,000 from the button. Gadzhiev made the call.

The flop came 10♠5♦9♣. Gadzhiev checked and Jontulovic bet 275,000. Gadzhiev raised to 1,000,000, leaving around 900,000 behind, and Jontulovic moved all in with a covering stack. Gadzhiev called for his tournament life.

Roman Gadzhiev: 10♦9♦ All in
Bogdan Jontulovic: 5♥5♣

Both players had a big piece of the board but Jontulovic was ahead with bottom set over Gadzhiev's top two pair. Gadzhiev picked up a flush draw on the 2♦ turn but the 6♣ river was a brick and he was sent to the rail.

Adrian State shoved from the hijack, and got a round of applause along with some cheers from his rail as he did so. The action then folded to Bogdan Jontulovic in the big blind who peeked at his cards and asked how much it was.

"I don't want to be the one to bust you, you have the best rail," said Jontulovic, who eventually did call to put State at risk.

Adrian State: A♣Q♦ All in
Bogdan Jontulovic: 10♠9♥

State was in the lead and as the board of 3♣6♣5♦2♣Q♥ was ran, him and his rail erupted in cheer as the Romanian player earned himself a double-up.

Anton Wigg opened to 300,000 from under the gun and Evagoras Evagorou made it 1,000,000 in the next seat. When it got back to Wigg, he shoved, and Evagorou called off around 800,000 he had behind.

Evagoras Evagorou: 8♠8♦ All in
Anton Wigg: 10♥10♣

It was a long way back for Evagorou, and it got even longer on the 10♦J♣2♣ flop as Wigg improved to middle set. It was all over by the time the 6♠ landed on the felt, and the 7♣ river was just a formality, which confirmed Evagorou's elimination.

Niveau 30 : Blinds 50,000/125,000, 120,000 ante

Vedat Yilmaz opened from the hijack to 250,000 and Ruslan Bakhtiev defended his big blind.

The two went to a flop of A♥10♠3♥ where Bakhtiev check-called a bet of 250,000 from Yilmaz to the 4♣ turn. Again, Bakhtiev went into check-call mode when Yilmaz fired 550,000.

On the Q♦ river, Bakhtiev checked and Yilmaz enquired as to how much was remaining in his opponent's stack. Upon finding out it was around 1,500,000, Yilmaz shoved, and Bakhtiev quickly folded.
