Niveau 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Nacho Barbero raised to 50,000 from middle position and the action folded to Axel Hallay, who defended the big blind. Hallay then check-called the 40,000 continuation-bet of Barbero on the J♣3♠5♣ flop before both players checked the J♥ turn.

The A♥ river appeared and Hallay opted to lead out for 130,000 chips. Barbero spent two time bank extensions before making the call, but mucked his cards once he saw the A♠10♠ of his opponent, who had rivered top pair.

Niveau 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Daniel Dvoress raised from early position before Patrik Jaros made it 150,000 to go from the button. Quan Zhou then came in with a cold four-bet to 400,000 from the small blind before the action was back on Dvoress.

He decided to jam all in for 1,675,000, being covered by Jaros, but covering Zhou. Jaros spent a few minutes in the tank before slamming in the call, after which Zhou open-folded his J♥J♣.

Daniel Dvoress: K♠K♦
Patrik Jaros: Q♠Q♦

Dvoress' higher pocket pair held on the 2♠5♥9♥A♦5♦ runout and he received a huge double-up, seeing him elevated to the biggest stack in the room.

Niveau 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Axel Hallay open-jammed for 435,000 chips from early position and Fahredin Mustafov was the only caller, putting his stack of 160,000 at risk.

Fahredin Mustafov: Q♠10♠
Axel Hallay: 8♠8♣

Mustafov flopped a flush draw on 2♠3♠4♥. The rest of the table was rooting for a chop, but Mustafov locked up the pot on the 9♠ turn. The 9♦ river was dealt as a formality while Hallay paid his dues to Mustafov.

Yulian Bogdanov checked the turn of a board showing 6♥J♣2♠10♠, making the call from the big blind when Daniel Dvoress fired 70,000 immediately to his left.

The 4♦ river saw both players check to showdown. Bogdanov turned over 7♣6♦ for a pair of sixes, which was good enough to claim the pot once Dvoress mucked.

Johan Guilbert kicked off the action with a raise to 65,000 from the hijack. Patrik Jaros then called from the button, as did Yulian Bogdanov from the big blind with a very short stack.

The flop of 3♣9♦Q♥ was checked to Jaros, who made a bet of 65,000. Bogdanov then put in his final 95,000 chips and Guilbert got out of the way before Jaros made the call.

Yulian Bogdanov: Q♥8♦
Patrik jaros: Q♣9♣

Jaros was way ahead with his two pair, and Bogdanov did not improve to a scoop or chop on the K♦J♣ runout, resulting in his exit from the tournament.

Niveau 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

On a completed board of 9♣5♦J♣8♥J♠, Aliaksandr Shylko checked from the small blind to Laszlo Bujtas in the big blind. Bujtas then jammed all in, covering the 475,000 stack of Shylko.

With around 600,000 in the pot before this, Shylko went deep into the tank. After a few time bank extensions, he opted to fold and grant the pot to Bujtas, who neared the two-million mark after raking in the chips.

One hand later, Axel Hallay departed from this table to bring the field down to four tables remaining.
