Nível 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Simone Andrian had opened the button and Adrian State's stack of just over a million had found its way into the middle from the big blind, which Andrian called.

Adrian State: A♣2♥ All in
Simone Andrian: J♥J♣

Andrian was in a commanding position to send State packing and solidified his lead on the Q♥J♦7♣ flop, improving to a set. The 9♠ on the turn sealed the deal, with the 8♠ river merely confirming State's elimination.

Nível 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Simone Andrian from under the gun and Fahredin Mustafov on the button ended up getting their stacks in preflop with the latter at risk for around 1,500,000.

Fahredin Mustafov: A♦K♥ All in
Simone Andrian: 10♣10♠

They say you have to win your flips to win tournaments, and this one fell Andrian's way. His pocket tens held strong through the 5♣8♠J♠J♦6♥ board, bringing Mustafov's tournament run to an end.

Nível 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Zhen Chen opened the hijack to 100,000 and Felipe Ketzer shoved for 645,000 in the cutoff. Aleksandr Chernikov was in the big blind and called, then Chen quickly folded.

Felipe Ketzer: A♣10♥ All in
Aleksandr Chernikov: A♦A♠

Ketzer was in deep trouble, dominated by Chernikov’s pocket aces. The Q♥K♠2♦ flop, however, brought a glimmer of hope as he picked up a Broadway draw. But the turn 4♠ and river 4♦ dashed those hopes, and Ketzer was eliminated in sixth place.

Nível 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Fahredin Mustafov opened to 100,000 from early position and Angelos Michael shoved for around 500,000 from the small blind. Once the big blind folded, Mustafov quickly called.

Angelos Michael: K♦9♦ All in
Fahredin Mustafov: K♣Q♦

Michael, who began the final table as the chip leader, now faced the grim prospect of elimination. The flop came down 5♣Q♠4♥, leaving Mustafov firmly in the lead. The K♥ on the turn ended any hope for Michael, as he was drawing dead. The 4♠ river was a mere formality, and Michael exited the tournament, his final table run abruptly cut short.

Nível 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Fahredin Mustafov opened from under the gun and Elie Saad shoved for 295,000 from middle position. When the action got back to Mustafov, he quickly called.

Elie Saad: 6♣6♠ All in
Fahredin Mustafov: Q♥Q♠

Saad wouldn't have liked to see the overpair of his opponent and didn't find any help on the 4♣J♦4♠ flop. The 10♠ didn't change anything, and neither did the 8♣ river, which meant Saad was out in eighth.

Nível 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Mehmet Demirkol shoved his last 205,000 into the middle from middle position and Simone Andrian called in the cutoff.

Mehmet Demirkol: 10♦10♥ All in
Simone Andrian: Q♣Q♠

Demirkol found a great hand to get his chips in with, but was unfortunate to run into the overpair of Andrian. The runout of 8♥J♦7♣6♠A♥ didn't change anything, and Demirkol hit the rail in ninth.
