The new level started with far less action at the table and it was Peyman Luth who claimed two pots in a row before folding to the three-bet shove of Andrey Bondar.
Dmytro Shuvanov opened to 18,000 on the button and Luth three-bet to 60,000, which claimed the pot. Then, Luth check-called a bet worth 15,000 by Luiz Duarte on the flop before the turn and river were checked. Luth showed and that won the pot.
The next hand, Luth opened to 21,000 on the button and Bondar's shove for 99,000 in the small blind shut down all further action.
