Josh Noy

Level 12 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Harry Lodge opened to 12,000 in the cutoff and Aliaksei Boika made the call in the big blind.

Both players checked the 8♣6♠7♠ flop before Boika led out for 16,000 on the 2♥ turn.

Lodge called to the A♣ river, where Boika checked. Lodge moved all in and was quickly called by Boika, who showed A♥8♠ for two pair.

Lodge flashed his inferior hand before the dealer mucked the cards, with the last of his stack sliding over to Boika.

Action folded around to Imad Derwiche who raised to 13,000 from the cutoff. Antoine Labat then reraised all in from the button for 74,000.

Derwiche took his time to make a decision, and asked his tablemates "when the bounties would be in play." He flipped over the A♠ to which Labat commented: "That's no good." Ultimately, Derwiche mucked his hand leaving Labat with the pot.

Santerne Stacks Zouari

Patrick Cole

Level 11 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Thomas Santerne opened from the hijack to 10,000. Jeremie Zouari called from the cutoff. Action folded around to Jon Vallinas in the big blind who defended.

Vallinas checked the 2♦A♦10♣ flop to Santerne who bet 10,000. Zouari called and Vallinas folded. The 8♠ was checked around, before Zouari bet 50,000 on the 10♥ river. Santerne took a moment before announcing all in. Zouari, who had around 75,000 behind, called quickly and tabled K♦10♦ for trip tens.

However he was bested by Santerne's full house as he tabled A♠A♣ for aces full of tens. Zouari took the beat well and patted Santerne on the shoulder as he left the table.
