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

Nikita Kuznetsov opened to 125,000 in early position and Jose Gonzalez Sanchez called in the cutoff before Aleksandr Faterin three-bet jammed a stack of about 500,000 in the big blind. Kuznetsov folded and Sanchez called after using a few time banks.

Aleksandr Faterin: A♣6♣
Jose Gonzalez Sanchez: K♥5♣

Faterin took a massive lead as the flop of 3♣A♥10♣ paired his ace and nothing changed on the 3♥9♥ runout to earn him a double.

"Thank you, bro," he said to Sanchez.

"You're welcome," Sanchez replied.

Marc Foggin opened K♣10♣ from under the gun to 125,000. Bjorn Kozenkai 6♣6♠ and Halil Tasyurek 9♥9♣ woke up with pocket pairs from the hijack and the button, and called.

Andrea Dato squeezed to 550,000 from the small blind with A♠5♥, and folded out Foggin and Kozenkai.

Tasyurek thought it over for a bit longer and opted to give up as well.

Controversy On Table 2

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

Action folded around to Nikita Kuznetsov in the cutoff who moved all in for 680,000. Jose Gonzalez Sanchez in the small blind flicked in a single green chip, not realizing that Kuznetsov was already all in. The dealer announced call and Kuznetsov flipped over A♥Q♣.

Sanchez, who had his headphones on up until this point, said that he did not see Kuznetsov's shove or hear the dealer announce all in, and had only meant to call the big blind. The floor was then called.

Ultimately the floor ruled that because Sanchez did not verbalize the call and that his intention was only to call the big blind, Sanchez would have the option to forfeit the 50,000 he had already committed and muck his hand without having to call off Kuznetsov's full 680,000. Sanchez chose to do so and Kuznetsov took down a small pot.

Yugay Pipped By Tetart

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

Nathan Tetart opened to 100,000 in the hijack and Victor Yugay called out of the small blind.

Yugay checked on the flop of 10♣2♦2♠ and Tetary continued for 125,000. Yugay called. Yugay checked again on the 8♣ turn and Tetart checked back.

Yugay checked once more on the A♠ river and Tetart again checked. Yugay showed 6♦6♣ for a pair of sixes, but it was no good against the sevens of his opponent with 7♣7♦.

Victor Yugay	3,500,000

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

Timur Vardanian opened to 100,000 from early position before Bjorn Kozenkai three-bet to 300,000 from the hijack. Vardanian clicked it to 525,000 and called off his last 710,000 when Kozenkai jammed as the bigger stack.

Timur Vardanian: Q♠Q♦
Bjorn Kozenkai: K♥K♣

The J♦3♦4♣ flop kept Kozenkai in the lead, as did the 4♠ turn. There was no saving grace for Vardanian on the 6♣ river, and he was eliminated in 15th place.
