62 players out of 150 remain at the end of Level 8. They are on a 20-minute break.
Dwayne Sluis opened from the button, and he was called by both players in the blinds.
All three of them checked the flop of K♠4♦A♠. But on the turn J♦, Bogdan Ciobanu in the small blind lead out with a bet of 3,300. The big blind folded, and Sluis called.
But on the river 4♠, after Ciobanu fired a second barrel of 8,400, Sluis immediately folded.

Ion Parnica limped from under the gun, then Bjorn Samuelson on the button and Paul Rosen in the small blind limped as well.
But in the big blind, Markku Vihavainen wanted more, so he squeezed to 4,000. Parnica was the only one to call.
On a board of 7♥8♣2♦, Vihavainen checked, so Parnica took this opportunity to go all in for almost 100,000 chips. With only 18,000 chips left, Vihavainen chose to be wise and folded. Parnica then showed 10♣9♣.

Florin Elisei opened to 2,500 from the cutoff, and he was only called by Lawrence Lazar in the small blind.
This call was the last action of the hand, as both players checked all the way through the board J♠4♠8♣7♦8♦.
But Elisei was surprised to see that Lazar had a very big hand with A♣Q♥. "Why you didn't shove?" he asked. "That's why" answered Lazar when Elisei showed his A♦K♥. Clearly unhappy, Elisei scooped this small pot.

On a flop of 5♥2♠6♠ with 13,000 chips in the pot, Sandor Szekely in middle position and Cristian Cirtog in the small blind both moved all in for approximately 43,000.
Cristian Cirtog: A♦A♥
Sandor Szekely: Q♠J♠
Szekely and his flush draw started to stand up when the cards were revealed. However, he sat back down after the dealer revealed the turn Q♦ and the river Q♣, which gave him trips to crack Cirtog's aces.
Slightly covered, Cirtog was eliminated.
