Sima Lucian moved all in for 325,000 from the cutoff, Konstantinos Vatseris reshoved in the small blind, and Razvan Belea folded his big blind.
Sima Lucian: A♣9♠
Konstantinos Vatseris: A♥K♠
Lucian was dominated and got no help on the 6♣8♣A♦7♠K♣ as Vatseris made two pair to send him out in 13th place.
There was already around 400,000 in the pot as Viorel Gavrila and Alexandru Marcu went heads-up to a flop of 9♣8♣A♦. Both players checked and the A♠ fell on the turn.
Marcu then bet 150,000 from the hijack and Gavrila called in the big blind. The river came the J♦ and Gavrila checked again.
Marcu this time checked back and Gavrila turned over A♣J♠. "Just nuts," Andrii Zaika said as Gavrila won the pot with his full house.
Level: 21
Blinds: 20,000/40,000
Ante: 40,000
The remaining 13 players are now headed on a 15-minute break.
There are two more levels left to play tonight.
Alexandru Cinca raised to 60,000 from under the gun before Radu Lungu made it 125,000 in the cutoff. Cinca then shoved all in for 250,000 and Lungo called.
Alexandru Cinca: K♦K♥
Radu Lungu: A♦K♣
"Cooler," Cinca said heading to the 2♠J♣10♦ flop. The board ran out 8♥9♠ and Lungu couldn't find any help as he handed over a double up to Cinca.
Ivan Ciursin was all in for his last 300,000 and up against Viorel Gavrila on the button.
Ivan Ciursin: 8♥8♠
Viorel Gavrila: J♠J♣
The 5♦A♠4♥10♥10♦ board didn't give Ciursin any miracles and he was sent to the payout desk in 14th place.
At the other table, Nicolae Balea couldn't build up his short stack after doubling up Konstantinos Vatseris and was eliminated in 15th place shortly afterward.
In a blind versus blind battle, Konstantinos Vatseris got his last 595,000 in the middle against Nicolae Balea.
Konstantinos Vatseris: A♣3♣
Nicolae Balea: A♠3♥
Both players had the same hand and were poised for a chop until the 5♣J♣10♠ flop gave Vatseris a flush draw. He hit the 5♣ on the turn to complete his flush, and Balea paid off most of his chips following the 10♦ river.
David Arbel was all in for around 200,000 from the big blind and up against Admir Qinami in the cutoff.
David Arbel: K♠J♣
Admir Qinami: K♦Q♥
Qinami had Arbel dominated heading to the 5♣A♣4♣ flop, which gave Arbel some hope with a flush draw. He didn't hit the 4♠ turn, and the 10♠ river was no help as he was sent to the rail.
Gregory Telman raised to 75,000 from the cutoff before Razvan Belea three-bet to 250,000 on the button. Telman then used a time bank card before moving all in for 780,000, and Belea snap-called.
Gregory Telman: A♠J♥
Razvan Belea: A♥K♠
Telman let out a loud groan when Belea called and watched helplessly as the board came 6♦2♠4♠9♣10♥, sending him to the rail in 17th place.
