Level 41 : Blinds 350,000/700,000, 87,500 ante

Juan "xPastorcitox" Pastor raised his button to 1,540,000 and Ivan "ILS007" Stokes defended his big blind. Stokes then proceeded to check-call Pastor's 1,107,750 bet on the 8?J?5? flop before both players checked the board-pairing 8? turn.

On the K? river, Stokes led out for the minimum of 700,000 and Pastor made the call. Stokes showed A?10? for ace-high, but it was no match of the A?J? of Pastor, who was sitting on second pair.

Ivan "ILS007" Stokes raised to 1,320,000 from under the gun before facing a three-bet to 5,100,000 from small blind Niklas "Lena900" Astedt. Stokes made the call and the two saw a flop of 8?Q?2?.

Astedt continued with a bet of 3,663,000 and Stokes called. Astedt then slowed down with a check on the 4? turn, causing Stokes to bet 6,080,580, which Astedt called.

Astedt checked the 3? river as well and Stokes went all in, covering Astedt's remaining stack of 19,814,168 chips. Astedt quickly called and tabled K?K?, but the overpair was no good against the flopped set of Stokes, who played 2?2?.

Astedt had to leave the tournament in fourth place while Stokes now plays a nearly nine-figure stack.
