Nível 39 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 62,500 ante

Juan "xPastorcitox" Pastor limped in from the small blind and Niklas "Lena900" Astedt made it 1,750,000 to go from the big blind. Pastor made the call and subsequentially check-called Astedt's 1,237,500 bet on the K♠Q♥4♣ flop.

The A♥ turn was then dealt and Pastor checked again, this time seeing a bet of 3,150,000 pop up from Astedt's avatar. Again, Pastor made the call and the 6♦ river completed the board.

Pastor checked for a final time, and Astedt now put his opponent all-in for 12,922,186 chips, slightly more than the pot. Pastor instantly called and showed J♠10♣ for the nut straight, while Astedt was value betting his K♣4♥ for flopped two pair.

Pastor doubled up and Astedt lost his recently acquired chip lead.

Niklas "Lena900" Astedt opened for 1,100,000 chips from under the gun and Ivan "ILS007" Stokes made the call from the small blind. Stokes then check-called Astedt's 2,250,000 bet on the 4♥2♥8♠ flop before the 8♣ turn was checked through.

The 5♠ river then completed the board and Stokes checked for a third time. Astedt came out with a bet of 5,850,000, and after some thinking time, Stokes let his hand go, granting the chip lead to Astedt.

Leonard "Grozzorg" Maue Eliminated in 5th Place ($298,792)

Juan "xPastorcitox" Pastor raised to 1,100,000 from the cutoff and Leonard "Grozzorg" Maue three-bet to 4,250,000 from the button, leaving himself less than one million chips behind.

The action folded back to Pastor, who put in the rest and Maue made the call.

Leonard "Grozzorg" Maue: A♥10♠
Juan "xPastorcitox" Pastor: 8♦8♣

Maue was flipping for his tournament life, but he would be drawing dead on the turn when the board came 7♣K♠K♥8♠. Pastor's full house had no chance of being beaten, and the 3♣ river was but a formality.

Jamil "Jamil11" Wakil Eliminated in 6th Place ($218,372)

One orbit after doubling up, Jamil "Jamil11" Wakil raised to 920,000 from the cutoff. This time, the action folded to Niklas "Lena900" Astedt in the big blind, who put out a three-bet to 3,400,000. Wakil dipped into his time bank before shoving all in for 17,867,782, and Astedt instantly called.

Jamil "Jamil11" Wakil: A♠K♥
Niklas "Lena900" Astedt: K♠K♦

The cooler fell in the favor of Astedt when the aces remained in the deck on 7♦7♣4♣3♠5♥. Astedt's kings made two pair and sent the disillusioned Wakil to the rail in sixth place.

Nível 38 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 50,000 ante

Jamil "Jamil11" Wakil raised to 920,000 from the cutoff and faced a three-bet to 2,400,000 from small blind Leonard "Grozzorg" Maue. The action folded back to Wakil and he made the call.

The flop fell 4♥Q♠J♦ and Maue slowed down with a check. Wakil then made a bet of 1,380,000 before Maue shoved all in, covering the 7,000,000 chips Wakil still had behind. Wakil snap called and the two showed down.

Jamil "Jamil11" Wakil: A♦A♣
Leonard "Grozzorg" Maue: A♠K♥

Wakil had slow-played his aces preflop and was now in a prime spot to double up. He faded Maue's gutshot straight draw on the 8♣6♥ runout and doubled up, leaving Maue with the least chips on the table, with less than 20 big blinds at his disposal.
