Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
With two players seeing a board of 8?9?A?Q?3? and roughly 90,000 already in the middle, Peng Yang bet 93,000 from the hijack. Roman Hrabec, seated in the cutoff, went into the tank.
After roughly two minutes Hrabec flicked in a call. Yang tabled J?10? for a queen-high straight which was good enough to take down a massive pot while making a serious dent in Hrabec's stack.
Elsewhere in the tournament area, Nina Krasilnikova was recently eliminated.

: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
With two players seeing a board of 9?6?9?5?8? and roughly 67,000 in the middle, Shuang Luo had bet 32,000 only for Candido Cappiello to raise it to 95,000, sending Luo deep into the tank.
After a couple minutes a player at the table called the clock and with just ten seconds remaining Luo flicked in a call.
Luo tabled 10?7? for a flush but Cappiello showed down A?2? for an ace-high flush to take down a massive pot.

Level 15
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Bogdan-Andrei Munteanu opened to 15,000 from the small blind and Monika Zukowicz defended from the big blind.
The flop came A?5?4?. Munteanu fired a 10,000 continuation bet which was called by Zukowicz.
Munteanu bet again for 18,000 on the 5? turn and Zukowicz moved all in for 65,000. Munteanu snap-called with a covering stack to put Zukowicz at risk.
Monika Zukowicz: 10?4?
Bogdan-Andrei Munteanu: A?K?
Both players had connected with the board. Munteanu was well ahead with aces up but still needed to fade a spade or a four to score the knockout. The Q? river gave Zukowicz a flush to score a full double up at Munteanu's expense.
