23:25 Miskolczi took from Petro

The first one was for 7.5K on the flop 4♣8♦9♦, the second one was for 13K on the turn 9♠, and the last one was for 16K on the river 6♥, which convinced Petro to surrender this hand and let his opponent scoop the pot.
23:15 Emotional rollercoaster
Hruby limped, and Miskolczi shoved his 27.6K stack after he found pocket 88. Action back to Hruby, who made the call with QJo. The "almost" perfect flop T♥9♣8♥ for Hruby, where he completed his straight, also brought the set for Miskolczi. Hruby needed a safe runout for him to eliminate his opponent. However, turn 9♥ paired the board, and Miskolczi was suddenly ahead. There was still a chance for Hruby to win this hand, but he needed a J♥ on the river. The J eventually landed on the river but in the wrong suit, and Miskolczi doubled his stack.
Miskolczi: 8♦8♣
Hruby: Q♥J♣
Board: T♥9♣8♥9♥J♦

The first one for 6.5K was paid only by Bodnar, with the same action for 10.5K on the turn 3♣, and 15.5K on the river T♠. The 3rd barrel was enough to convince Bodnar to give up this hand and let his opponent collect chips.
22:45 Top pair for Lechman
Szoke limped, and Lechman on the BTN clicked to 4K, which Gajdos on the SB and Cerep on the BB called, together with Szoke.
