Sweeney checked on the flop of {7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Plesuv bet 5,500. Sweeney check-raised to 15,000 and Plesuv took a few moments before three-bet raising all in for around 45,000.

Andrija Robovic opened from under the gun and Cedric Schwederle three-bet shoved a stack of around 15,000 as the next player to act. Yulian Bogdanov then flat-called in middle position and Robovic tanked before showing {8-}{8-} and folding.

Cedric Schwederle: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Yulian Bogdanov: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Schwederle was dominated and hit the rail after the board of {9-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} failed to improve his hand.

Tom Johnatan Or Paz
Tom Johnatan Or Paz

Tom Orpaz has been chatty and playing loose and fast all day, building a sizeable stack along the way. He finally had to give a chunk of it away recently as he got over 70,000 chips in the middle on the button against Rui Ferreira in early position on a flop of {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Rui Ferreira: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}
Tom Orpaz: {8-Spades}{6-Hearts}

The board completed with the {q-Hearts} and {6-Spades} to double up Ferreira and take about a third of Orpaz's stack away from him.
