22:36 The second try was successful
Zuskáč found himself all-in preflop once again after his min-raise, this time up against Grodek, who shoved his shorter stack from the BB with pocket QQ. Zuskáč snap-called with pocket AA, and the board offered no surprises, allowing him to hold and score another knockout.
Zuskáč: AA
Grodek: QQ
Board: 9-2-T-3-2
22:35 Time for Zuskac
With his last 25K, Zuskáč got it in preflop holding pocket KK against Debreceni, who tabled pocket 66. The higher pair held up, and Zuskáč returns to a starting stack heading into the next hand.
Zuskáč: KK
Debreceni: 66
Board: 5-8-Q-8-3
22:26 The next try
Miszczyszyn kept up the pressure in the very next hand, open-shoving again — this time with pocket Tens. Agaroi took the challenge with his 91K stack, re-shoving with Q♦8♦. The board ran out clean for Miszczyszyn, and after missing his outs, Agaroi handed over his chips and was eliminated from the tournament.
Miszczyszyn: T♣T♦
Agaroi: Q♦8♦
Board: 2♠J♣6♠7♣4♣
22:25 A series of pre-flop all-ins begins...
Miszczyszyn open-shoved his starting 50K stack, and Agaroi called with KJs. Miszczyszyn tabled A8s, and after the board gave him two pair, he doubled up through Agaroi, whose pair of K wasn’t enough.
Miszczyszyn: A♠8♠
Agaroi: K♦J♦
Board: 3♥A♥K♠8♣T♠
Level 11: 1000 - 2500 / 2500, avg. 114,848 ent.: 165/379
22:10 Antal ended after 3-way all-in
Antal, Scibor and Bodnar got their stacks in on the T♠J♣7♠ flop. Short-stacked Antal held KQs for an open-ended straight draw, up against Scibor’s AJo and Bodnar’s J9s. The runout favored Bodnar, as the 8 on the river completed his straight. He scooped a healthy pot and eliminated Antal from the tournament.
Antal: K♣Q♣
Scibor: A♣J♠
Bodnar: J♦9♦
Board: T♠J♣7♠3♦8♥
21:55 Pabian aggressively
Kot limped, Pabian raised to 9K, and Migac called from the SB along with Kot. On the K♠6♠3♠ flop, Pabian led for 8K, and only Kot continued. Both players checked the 5♦ turn. After the T♣ river, Kot led out for 18K, but Pabian responded aggressively with a raise to 67K. Kot decided against a call and surrendered the pot to his opponent.
Level 10: 1000 - 2000 / 2000, avg. 103,125 ent.: 176/363
21:40 A second try for Kapalka
After Miskolczi opened to 4K, Kapalka once again decided to shove his stack with the same hand as before. This time, Miskolczi called with AQo and needed to hit one of his three outs to eliminate his opponent. He did exactly that, spiking a queen on the flop, and Kapalka was ultimately knocked out of the tournament.
Kapalka: AKo
Miskolczi: AQo
Board: 6-Q-2-5-3
21:35 Kapalka sent his stack
Following a 5K open, Kapalka shoved his starting stack with AKo and was called by Bazsanyi holding the very same hand. Neither player managed to complete a flush, and the pot was split.
21:25 Tripple-up for Taxis Peti
Five players saw a 5♦7♣6♣ flop for 1.5K. Taxis led 7.5K from an early position, Kostkiewicz called on the button, as did Lyzanets from the SB. Lesko on BB then shoved 42.5K, prompting Taxis to re-shove for 47.5K. Kostkiewicz eventually joined the party as well. At the showdown, Taxis tabled A♣9♣ for the nut flush draw, up against Lesko’s two pair and Kostkiewicz’s Q8o with an open-handed straight draw. The turn brought the J♣, and after a safe river, Taxis tripled-up while sending Lesko to the rail.
Taxis: A♣9♣
Lesko: 5♥7♥
Kostkiewicz: Q♠8♥
Board: 5♦7♣6♣J♣9♦
Level 9: 1000 - 1500 / 1500, avg. 89,095 ent.: 188/335
Break 30 minutes
20:45 Rudzik ends this time
He began with a limp, and after Olah called, Lemmen raised to 5K, with Pok and Rudzik also calling. On the J-6-7 flop, Rudzik lead-shoved his 29K, and only Lemmen quickly called, holding pocket Aces. Rudzik, despite top pair with top kicker, ran into trouble and, after the runout, was eliminated, forced to use a re-entry to continue in the tournament.
Rudzik: AJo
Lemmen: AA
Board: J-6-7-7-6
20:35 Bazsanyi took the pot
After a limp from Olah, Bazsanyi raised to 3.5K, and Miskolczi 3-bet to 10K, with only Bazsanyi calling. Miskolczi then c-bet 8K on the A♥7♣4♦ flop, and Bazsanyi called. Action slowed on the 6♥ turn and K♣ river, both players checking, and Bazsanyi showed A♦6♦. It was enough to force Miskolczi to muck, giving the pot to Bazsanyi.
20:25 Nowinski double
Nowinski went heads-up against Ilona Jonas with 24K already in the pot on the flop. The turn T♦A♦9♣6♣ sparked major action: Jonas led for 5K, and Nowinski shoved his ~43K stack, which Jonas called. At showdown, Jonas showed Q8o with a gutshot, but Nowinski held two pair, ATs. The river K offered no salvation for Jonas, and Nowinski doubled up.
Jonas: Q♠8♥
Nowinski: A♥T♥
Board: T♦A♦9♣6♣K♦
Level 8: 600 - 1200 / 1200, avg. 82,584 ent.: 178/294
20:15 Sudimak has stolen the pot
Eliášová opened to 2.5K, with five more players joining her. She c-bet the 2♦8♣5♦ flop for 3K, leaving just three players to continue. On the 8♥ turn, Eliášová checked, giving Sudimak the initiative. He seized the moment, betting 13K, and everyone folded, allowing him to take the pot uncontested.
19:55 Nuts vs set
The action heated up after a T♥2♠K♥ flop with around 15K in the pot, as Pastor and Kuta went heads-up. The turn J♦ saw Pastor lead for 5.5K, only for Kuta to raise to 15K, which Pastor called. On the river 4♣, Pastor slowed down, and Kuta fired 30K. After a brief pause, Pastor called and tabled a set of JJ. It wasn’t enough, though, as Kuta revealed AQo to complete the nuts and scoop the pot.
Kuta: A♦Q♥
Pastor: J♣J♠
Board: T♥2♠K♥J♦4♣

19:45 Vaji took a big pot
After a limp from Lakatos, Hudomiet 3-bet to 2.5K. Vaji on the SB and Kocsis on the BB called, along with Lakatos. The flop came 8♥6♣4♥, and Vaji led out for 3.5K. Lakatos folded, and Hudomiet raised to 10K, with both blinds calling. The turn 5♥ saw Vaji and Kocsis check-call a 6.5K bet from Hudomiet. On the river 7♦, Vaji took the lead for 15K. Kocsis called, but Hudomiet folded. Vaji revealed 9♣5♣, and Kocsis mucked, giving Vaji a nice pot.
19:30 Pot for Sirotnak
Sirotnak opened to 1.7K, joined by three other players. On the 2♥4♣A♠ flop, he c-bet 3.6K, getting only Niemczura to continue. Niemczura also called a second barrel of 5.5K on the T♥ turn. On the river K♠, Sirotnak fired a third barrel, and Niemczura paid once more. At the showdown, Sirotnak revealed two pairs with A♦T♠, prompting Niemczura to muck his hand.

Gasperan’s classic flip with AQo ran into trouble on a dry board, and he was forced to choose a re-entry if he wanted to stay in the tournament.
Gasperan: AQo
Lovasz: 44
Board: T-2-T-5-2

Grochowina, Hanobik, and Starzycki saw a suited 9♦7♦T♦ flop. After Starzycki bet 1.2K from the BTN, Grochowina check-raised to 4.8K, and Hanobik came along as well. The turn J♣ brought another bet from Grochowina, this time 7K, and only Hanobik called, sending the two players heads-up to the river 6♦. Grochowina slowed down with a check, and Hanobik seized the moment, announcing all-in. Grochowina folded, and Hanobik dragged a nice pot.
16:45 Kotan waited for an action
After several limps and no further aggression from the blinds, six players saw a flop of A♦K♦7♦. The flop was checked around, and the turn brought another A♣, where Kotan led for 1.5K, finding a single caller in Miskolczi.
