01:15 Karol Bohony eliminated as the last one, and we know the players advancing to tomorrow’s Final Day!
Karol shoved Kh 9h for 10 big blinds and his opponent from the big blind called with Ah 4h. After the board ran out Ax Kx Xx Ax Xx, Karol was the last player to miss out on advancement.
01:10 Daniel Poluk double up
Daniel shoved around 1,500,000 with Ax Qx and Rabie Dib called with Kx Qx. No one else joined, and after the board ran out 9x 5x 5x Qx Jx, Daniel recorded a double up. The pace of play is slower and not many confrontations are taking place.
00:50 Marian Stangel eliminated in a flurry of seat opens
Marián got in 1,500,000 with Ax Jx against his opponent’s pocket eights. A blank board eliminated Marián, and after a brief flurry of seat opens, only two eliminations remain until the end of Day 2.
Level 27: 50,000 – 100,000 / 100,000, avg. 2,711,217, ent.: 23/1,563
00:30 Illia Cherneta eliminated
Illia got around 1,500,000 over the line with pocket tens, but unfortunately this young player ran into pocket aces held by Michal Náhlik. After the board ran out 6x Jx 3x Kx Ax, Illia had to say goodbye to his hopes of advancing.
00:20 Michalis double up
Marián announced all in from the small blind with Kx Jx and Michalis in the big blind decided to call with Ax 7x. After the board ran out 2x 5x 7x Ax, Marián handed over around a million chips to Michalis.
00:10 3-bet pot
Illia opened from EP to 160,000 and Zašo from the big blind 3-bet to 500,000. Illia called, but on the flop Ac Qs Jd Zašo bet and Illia quickly folded. During this hand at a neighboring table, Christodoulou was eliminated, and we are now down to the final three tables of the tournament.
23:55 A nice pot
On the river 3x kx Kx 9x Qx there was just over 2,000,000 in the pot and Alin Pop bet 500,000. Gorazd Jukovic thought for a very long time and eventually called with pocket tens. That, however, was far from enough against the Romanian player’s Jx Tx.
Level 26: 40,000 – 80,000 / 80,000, avg. 2,227,071, ent.: 28/1,563
Break 15 min
23:20 Desset vs. Dib
Andrej opened from EP to 125,000 and received a total of four calls. On the flop 2c 9s 6d Andrej bet 340,000 and Dib decided to shove all in for around 2,000,000. No one had the courage to call, and Andrej thought for so long that one of the opponents called time. In the final seconds of the countdown, Andrej folded Qx Qx face up.
23:00 Pop vs. Jukovic
On the turn 5d 6d 3h Qc there was around 300,000 in the pot and Pop bet 110,000 from the small blind. Jukovic from the big blind called at a slow pace, and on the river Kc Pop sized a bet of 350,000. Jukovic struggled for several minutes, but eventually pushed his cards past the line.
Level 25: 30,000 – 60,000 / 60,000, avg. 1,834,059, ent.: 34/1,563
22:30 Ronshyn vs. Bachar
Bachar limped in and Maksym raised from the small blind to 200,000. Bachar called, and on the flop Ad 9h 3c both players checked. On the turn Ts Maksym sized a bet of 200,000 and was called. On the river 9d Maksym continued for 250,000, and Bachar called with pocket eights, but they were no match for his opponent’s Ax 6x.
22:15 A c-bet is enough for Manfred
Manfred opened from EP to 110,000 and Marián, after a brief hesitation, called from the button. The blinds folded, and on the flop 9h 7h 3d Manfred continued for 150,000. Marián sent his cards past the line.

On the river 6x Jx 9x Qx 6x there was more than 200,000 in the pot and Leonel Gameiro bet 110,000. After a long time, Illia called with 9c 8c, and Leonel turned over only Ac 3c. The pot therefore goes to Illia.
