Livello 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Adrian Mateos raised to 100,000 in early position, Derk van Luijk called on the button, and Philipp Wenzelburger came along from the big blind.

All three players checked the 3♦J♦9♥ flop. The turn was the 5♥ and Mateos bet 125,000.

Van Luijk and Wenzelburger both called to see the 8♣ river. Action then checked to van Luijk who bet 200,000. Wenzelburger raised to 500,000 and Mateos folded 10♣9♣.

Van Luijk, though, called with Q♣J♣ for top pair. Wenzelburger mucked 10♦8♦ and van Luijk took down the big pot to virtually double up.

Livello 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Javier Caballo raised to 100,000 second to act and saw action fold to Boris Angelov, who was in the small blind. He three-bet to 265,000 to put the action back on Caballo.

Caballo, who had around 900,000 total, moved all in after using a time bank. Angelov quickly called and the cards were turned over.

Javier Caballo: A♠Q♦ All in
Boris Angelov: J♣J♥

"Do you feel it?" asked Angelov. Caballo nodded in agreement.

Caballo was flipping for his tournament life, but was at a greater risk of flat-lining after the 10♠8♠8♣ flop.

The 5♥ turn offered no saving grace and the 8♦ river confirmed Caballo's exit.

Livello 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Javier Caballo opened to 100,000 from the button and then folded when Jonathan Pastore three-bet to 260,000 from the button.

On the next deal, Jozef Cibicek was first to act and raised to 100,000. Boris Angelov defended his big blind.

Angelov check-called for 70,000 on the Q♠J♣9♦ flop before the J♦ turn checked through to the 4♣ river.

Angelov checked then snap-called when Cibicek bet 220,000.

Cibicek tabled A♠Q♥ and Angelov mucked.

Livello 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Javier Caballo raised to 150,000 in the small blind, prompting Natan Chauskin to call in the big blind.

On the K♠10♦Q♦ flop, Caballo continued with a bet of 100,000, which Chauskin called.

When the 2♣ turn appeared, Caballo checked to Chauskin, who then bet 250,000. Caballo opted to call.

With both players checking the 8♦ river, Caballo revealed J♣J♥. After some deliberation, Chauskin realized he held the better hand and turned over K♣9♠ for a pair of kings.
