Level 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Ryhor Karapanau rasied to 120,000 from the cutoff, Nicolae Paunescu called in the small blind and Uladzimir Zhyharau, in the big blind, squeezed to 500,000. Both players called.

The action checked to Zhyharau, who continued for 580,000 on the A?Q?J? flop. Karapanau folded and Paunescu check-raised to 2,000,000. Zhyharau frustratedly snap-folded an Ax face up, allowing Paunescu to claim this sizable pot.

Valeriu Rosca open raised from middle position and Aziz Efe moved all in from the button for 650,000. Rosca called to put Efe at risk and players flipped their cards.

Aziz Efe: 8?8? All in
Valeriu Rosca: A?K?

The flop came 6?5?10? and Efe remained ahead. The Q? turn brought Rosca a few additional outs and the J? river completed his straight. Efe let out a shout of dismay and slammed his fist on the table, then politely waved goodbye to his friend and left.

Efe was eliminated from the tournament in 12th place for $16,490.

Level 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Uladzimir Zhyharau raised to 150,000 from the button and Anze Smajd three-bet to 785,000, from the big blind, an effective all in with 115,000 behind the line. Zhyharau put him all in for the rest and Smajd called.

Anze Smajd: 2?2? All in
Uladzimir Zhyharau: A?Q?

Smajd's pocket pair was safe on the 7?6?J? flop. The 6? turn gave Zhyharau some counterfeit outs but the 10? river confirmed Smajd's double up.

Morten Klein moved all in for 715,000 from under the gun. Karen Nazarian, in the big blind, tanked before making the call.

Morten Klein: A?J? All in
Karen Nazarian: K?Q?

Klein was ahead until the K?3?Q? flop gave Nazarian two pair. Klein still had a gutshot straight draw, but the 2? turn and Q? river only served to improve Nazarian to a full house, sending Klein to the rail.
