Nível 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Cristian Sandu raised to 260,000 from early position, then Ionut Voinea three-bet all in for 2,800,000 in the small blind. The big blind folded, and Sandu eventually called with a total of 1,000,000 chips.

Cristian Sandu: A♥Q♥
Ionut Voinea: J♥J♦

The board of 9♦2♠4♠5♣6♣ didn't bring any help for Sandu, who was eliminated in 8th place for €4,650.

Vlad Murgulet Eliminated in 7th Place (€5,700)

Nível 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Alexandru Mitracu opened to 210,000 from under the gun, then Vlad Murgulet shoved for 630,000 from the cutoff. Action back to him, Mitracu called.

Vlad Murgulet: A♣J♠
Alexandru Mitracu: K♥K♣

Murgulet found a flush draw on the flop 10♠5♠2♠. But the turn 7♣ and the river 8♥ didn't bring the spade he needed, so Murgulet left the tournament in 7th place for €5,700.

Cristian Rajala Eliminated in 6th Place (€7,100)

Nível 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

From the button, Cristian Rajala shoved for 1,200,000. Sebastian Ionita in the small blind folded, but Gheorghe Butuc in the big blind asked for the count and called.

Cristian Rajala: K♦J♠
Gheorghe Butuc: K♣Q♦

Rajala needed a jack or an eight after the dealer revealed a flop of 10♣9♥7♣. But none of the cards he needed showed up on the turn 6♥ and the river 2♦, so Rajala's tournament came to an end in 6th place.

Butuc Takes From Ionita

Nível 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

In a blind versus blind situation, Sebastian Ionita limped in the small blind, so Gheorghe Butuc only had to check his option to see the flop 9♦2♠A♥.

Ionita bet a single blind on this flop, but Butuc raised to 350,000. Ionita looked at his cards again, and called.

On the turn 10♥, Butuc fired a second barrel of 750,000 with K♥7♦. Ionita eventually folded, even if he had a small pair with 5♣2♦.

Alexandru Mitracu Eliminated in 5th Place (€9,300)

Nível 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Gheorghe Butuc opened to 250,000 from the button, and was called by Alexandru Mitracu in the small blind.

Butuc continued with a bet of 275,000 on the flop 4♣3♠4♥. Mitracu check-called, but decided to check raise to 1,200,000 after Butuc fired a second barrel of 510,000 on the turn 10♦.

Butuc called, then Mitracu shoved for 2,100,000 on the river 7♥. Butuc snap-called.

Alexandru Mitracu: K♣K♥
Gheorghe Butuc: 7♦7♣

Mitracu was hiding with kings in the small blind, but Butuc was lucky enough to hit a full house on the river to take all Mitracu's chips.

Mitracu finished in 5th place for €9,300. The four players left are now guaranteed to receive a €5,000 EAPT Grand Final Cyprus package.
