Nazarov Times Out, Bedir Shows

Nível 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Dmitrii Nazarov raised to 55,000 from the button before Selahaddin Bedir three-bet to 150,000 from the button. The action folded back to Nazarov, who clicked it back to 250,000. Bedir put in the extra chips for a call and the pair went off to a flop.

The 3♣5♥3♠ flop was checked by both players, as was the 7♦ turn. The 9♣ river saw some action, however, as Nazarov bet out 100,000 chips. Bedir then shoved all in, covering Nazarov's 625,000 stack. Nazarov went deep into the tank, and eventually, the dealer gave him a countdown as he had no time bank cards remaining.

The countdown reached zero and Nazarov's hand was declared dead, after which bedir showed 10♥8♥ for the stone-cold bluff.

Nível 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

[Removed:452] opened to 50,000 from under the gun, then Sergi Reixach in the hijack three-bet to 115,000. Action back to him, Kaladjurdjevic four-bet all in, and Reixach called, with his last 440,000 chips.

[Removed:452]: K♣K♦
Sergi Reixach: A♣Q♦

On 7♣10♠10♣A♠Q♣, Reixach hit an ace on the turn to double up.

Down to 35,000, Kaladjurdjevic on seat 1 was forced to go all in from the big blind on the next hand. But on Seat 8, Quan Zhou in the small blind didn't see he was all in, so he folded and let Kaladjurdjevic have a walk.

Moments later, Markkos Ladev in the cutoff opened to 50,000 in the cutoff. Kaladjurdjevic shoved again for 45,000 in the small blind. But in the big blind, Adrian Mateos raised all in, and made Ladev fold.

[Removed:452]: J♣5♥
Adrian Mateos: J♦J♠

The last jack of the deck landed on the flop on 7♠J♥10♦8♠3♣. Drawing dead, Kaladjurdjevic was eliminated in 20th Place for $38,600.

Nível 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

On the board K♣4♣6♣4♠Q♥ with 500,000 in the pot, Dario Sammartino in the small blind moved all in. In the big blind, Pablo Silva went deep into the tank and had to use several time banks to make a decision. He eventually called.

Pablo Silva: K♣J♦
Dario Sammartino: A♣Q♣

Silva called with two pair, but Sammartino flopped the nut flush, which led to Silva's elimination.

Adrian Mateos Eliminated in 18th Place ($38,600)

Nível 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Adrian Mateos raised to 50,000 form the hijack and received a call form Ghassan Bitar on the button. Dmitry Yurasov sat in the big blind and shoved all in for 595,000. The action folded back to Mateos, who asked for a count. After he received it, he made the call, having 525,000 chips himself and thus being at risk.

Bitar got out of the way and the two players showed down.

Adrian Mateos: A♠J♠
Dmitry Yurasov: 4♦4♣

The flop of 4♥4♠J♥ saw Yurasov flop quads. Mateos was left to runner-runner jacks to hit a better four of a kind, but the 3♠ turn had him drawing dead. He took his leave when the 6♦ river completed the board and finished in 18th place.

Pedro Neves Eliminated in 17th Place ($44,400)

Nível 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Pedro Neves got all of his 500,000 remaining chips in from the small blind against Danil Rafikov in the small blind and was at risk.

Pedro Neves: K♠K♦
Danil Rafikov: 9♠9♦

It was looking like a double-up for Neves, who held the dominating pair. However, Rafikov flopped a set on A♠7♠9♥, and Neves would not hit a king on the 5♣J♥ runout.

Neves was eliminated in 17th place, being the first player to take home $44,400. The remaining 16 players had a redraw that saw them spread across two tables of eight.

Nível 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

After an open to 50,000 by Sergi Reixach in early position, Nicolas Vayssieres three-bet to 120,000 from the cutoff.

Reixach called, then called again a continuation bet to 45,000 on the flop 4♠J♣6♠.

The 7♠ came on the turn, but both players checked. Reixach checked the river A♦ too, and Vayssieres eventually checked back with A♣9♣. And it was the winning hand, as Reixach missed the flush with 8♠8♥.

Pavlov Rivers Sammartino; Doubles Up to Chip Lead

Nível 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Dario Sammartino raised to 60,000 from the hijack before Ilia Pavlov made it 165,000 to go from the cutoff. The action folded back to Sammartino, who made the call.

The 4♠3♣10♠ flop saw Sammartino check-raise Pavlov's 105,000 bet to 350,000, and Pavlov call. Sammartino then downsized to 300,000 on the 9♠ turn before the 8♠ river brought the fourth spade on the board.

Sammartino then checked and Pavlov spent one time bank extension before moving all in for 505,000. Sammartino asked for a count before slamming in some calling chips.

Pavlov had rivered the ace-high flush with A♠10♦ and Sammartino frustratedly showed 6♠5♠ for a turned flush that was no longer good by the river.

Pavlov doubled up to the chip lead, while Sammartino still played more than an average stack.
