Livello 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Panagiotis Mavritsakis opened to 80,000 from the cutoff with a dead button, and Rania Nasreddine called from the small blind.

Both checked the 2♥J♥9♠ flop to see the Q♠ on the turn, where Nasreddine check-called a bet of 140,000 from Mavritsakis.

When the A♦ hit the river, Nasreddine checked and Mavritsakis shoved for his remaining 390,000. Nasreddine wasted no time in making the call.

Mavritsakis showed Q♣9♥ for two pair, but Nasreddine held a bigger two pair with Q♥J♦, which eliminated Mavritsakis.

Livello 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Daniel Myers raised to 85,000 from middle position, David Coleman called on the button, as did Marius-Catalin Pertea, in the big blind.

The 8♠J♦4♠ flop checked through to the 8♣ on the turn. Pertea checked again and Myers bet out 175,000. Only Coleman called.

The K♦ river slowed down Myers with a check. Coleman moved all in for Myers' effective stack of 855,000 and Myers went deep into the tank. Myers burnt through a bulk of his time banks before making the call.

Daniel Myers: A♦8♦ All in
David Coleman: A♥8♥

Myers eventually made the right call and earned half the pot for doing so.

Livello 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

About 300,000 was already in the middle by a turn board of Q♠Q♦J♥K♠ as Vladimir Erceg checked his small blind to Fabiano Kovalski in the big blind.

Erceg called and the river 7♥ completed the board. After another check by Erceg, Kovalski moved all in, covering Erceg's last 675,000.

Erceg used five time banks before spiking in a call that would be his last of the tournament.

Vladimir Erceg: K♦10♥ All in
Fabiano Kovalski: A♥10♣

Erceg's two pair were bested by Kovalski's Broadway to send him out the door.

Livello 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Jack Sinclair limped in from the small blind and Rania Nasreddine made it 150,000 out of the big blind. Sinclair called.

They saw a flop of 5♦2♠K♦ which was checked through to the 2♣ turn. Sinclair bet 200,000, and Nasreddine quickly called.

A 10♠ landed on the river and Sinclair fired a big bet of 575,000, and Nasreddine took some time before she made it 1,200,000. Sinclair had 620,000 remaining in his stack and after talking to himself for a while, he put in the rest and called.

Nasreddine showed that she had rivered a full house with 10♦10♣, and Sinclair's trip deuces with A♥2♥ went down in flames.
