Niveau 35 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Daniel Abrahamsson is a lucky, lucky man after being on the brink of the payout desk to near the chip lead.

Erdal Gulseven opened to 1,000,000 from the cutoff and Abrahamsson three-bet to 3,500,000 out of the small blind. Gulseven then shoved, and Abrahamsson called off the extra 3,575,000 he had behind for 7,075,000 total.

Daniel Abrahamsson: Q♦10♦ All in
Erdal Gulseven: K♠Q♠

Abrahamsson was away behind but found a great flop when the dealer put out 10♣3♠6♦, giving him top pair. A 9♣ on the turn did give Gulseven a gutshot to a straight, but the 4♦ bricked off, earning Abrahamsson a double-up.

Niveau 35 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Atanas Malinov made it 1,000,000 to go on the button and Alessio Isaia shoved for just over 5,000,000 from the big blind. Malinov called.

Alessio Isaia: A♠3♠ All in
Atanas Malinov: 8♥8♠

Isaia was at risk of becoming the fifth-place finisher and took a step closer to the payout desk after the J♣4♦2♥ flop. The Italian player did pick up a gutshot to a wheel, but it was the A♦ on the turn that also worked for him as he paired his ace. Only a river eight could send Isaia home, but the 3♣ instead improved him to two pair and earned him a double.

Niveau 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Dmitrii Kopyl made it 3,000,000 to go from under the gun and Daniel Abrahamsson shoved from the big blind. Kopyl had around 2,000,000 behind and put them all in the middle to leave him at risk.

Dmitrii Kopyl: J♠10♠ All in
Daniel Abrahamsson: A♠J♥

Kopyl was way behind but found a ten on the 6♣10♥Q♠ flop to take the lead. Abrahamsson did pick up a Broadway draw, but he couldn't find it as both the 4♥ turn and Q♣ river were bricks.

Gulseven Doubles Through Malinov

Niveau 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Erdal Gulseven is making a nuisance of himself and just put a dent in the stack of Atanas Malinov.

The action folded to Malinov in the small blind, who shoved. Gulseven looked down at his cards and quickly called for his stack of 4,900,000.

Erdal Gulseven: A♥Q♣ All in
Atanas Malinov: J♥4♥

Gulseven flopped top pair on the Q♠8♦2♣ board and had the pot locked up when the 6♣ landed on the turn.

"Dead on the turn?" asked Yucel Eminoglu on the rail, who got a positive reaction from his friend Gulseven. A meaningless 8♠ filled out the board and Gulseven doubled up.

Atanas Malinov is on a heater and destroying anybody in his path!

Malinov raised the button to 800,000 and Atanas Pavlov three-bet to 5,850,000 from the small blind, leaving himself 100,000 behind. Malinov called.

Both checked the 6♠A♣3♣ flop to the 7♣ turn, where Pavlov check-called his last 100,000 after Malinov bet.

Atanas Pavlov: K♥J♠ All in
Atanas Malinov:A♠10♥

Pavlov was drawing dead with no card in the deck that could save him. Regardless, he watched the 9♥ roll off and wished the rest of the table good luck as he departed.

Niveau 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Atanas Malinov opened to 800,000 from under the gun and when it got to Humberto Lopes Galindo in the big blind, he shoved around 5,500,000. Malinov quickly called.

Humberto Lopes Galindo: 4♥4♣ All in
Atanas Malinov: A♦K♦

Malinov could afford to lose this flip, but Galindo certainly couldn't otherwise he would be out in seventh. It wasn't the best start for Galindo as the 10♥Q♦K♠ flop gave Malinov top pair and a gutshot, which he completed on the J♦ turn. Only an ace on the river could save Galindo, but instead the 7♠ rolled off, ending his run in the Warm Up.

Niveau 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

It was the last hand that did most of the damage to Giorgiy Skhulukhiya, who then put his last big blind into the pot from middle position. The action folded around to Atanas Malinov in the big blind, who had to call just 25,000 more.

Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: A♣Q♦ All in
Atanas Malinov: 6♠2♦

Skhulukhiya was in the lead but Malinov made a pair on the 4♥7♥6♦K♦3♥ runout to earn the pot and eliminate Skhulukhiya .

Kopyl Doubles, Leaves Skhulukhiya Short

Niveau 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Giorgiy Skhulukhiya shoved from the hijack for a little over 4,000,000 and Dmitrii Kopyl committed his stack of 4,000,000 from the small blind.

Dmitrii Kopyl: K♠K♣ All in
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: A♠Q♠

Both players had similar stacks but it was Kopyl who was at risk with his pocket kings. A flop of 6♠2♦8♦ didn't give Skhulukhiya much to work with but the 3♠ turn gave up a flush draw and a lot more outs. However, none of those outs found the river as the 5♦ completed the board, leaving Skhulukhiya very short-stacked.
