With around 25,000 in the middle on a board of {a-Spades}{5-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}, Rustam Khamatgareev bet 18,000 from the big blind and was called by Aleksandr Nemtcov in the cutoff.

Ilani Calls it Off vs Nut Flush

Level 4 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Halil Bazybars
Halil Bazybars

The board read {5-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{k-Clubs} on the river with a pot of about 37,000 resting in the middle. Ran Ilani was deep in the tank on the button facing a decision for the rest of his stack as Halil Baybars had forced him all in from the small blind.

Eventually, clock was called as a couple of players at the table said that it has been at least a five-minute tank. The floor came over to count it down before Ilani called.

Baybars revealed the {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} nut flush which crushed Ilani's {7-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and he got up from the table without any chips left.

Periaux Makes Quads to Take Down Massive Pot

Level 4 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Ludovic Periaux was in the cutoff and called a preflop raise of 1,600 before Natalia Nikitina on the button made it 6,500. The small blind then four-bet to 18,000 and Periaux called, while Nikitina folded.

The flop came {j-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and the small blind continued for 11,000. Periaux called and both players checked the {8-Clubs} turn.

The small blind checked to Periaux again on the {4-Clubs} river and he threw out a green 25,000 chip. His opponent tanked for several minutes before a tablemate called the clock. As the countdown neared zero, he called as Periaux turned over {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} for quad eights to win the pot and climb to around 200,000.

Isaia Climbing Near the Top of the Counts

Level 4 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Alessio Isaia had just eliminated a player when he made a set of nines to crack pocket jacks before getting involved in another pot against Nuri Hadioglu.

Hadioglu raised to 1,800 from under the gun and Isaia three-bet to 5,600 in middle position. Hadioglu called as the flop came {6-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}.

Hadioglu checked to Isaia, who continued for 5,500. Hadioglu called and both players checked the {9-Spades} turn.

The river came the {3-Hearts} and Hadioglu checked again. Isaia checked behind.

"Six," Hadioglu said.

"Just one," Isaia asked as Hadioglu showed {6-Spades}{5-Spades}. The Italian turned over {a-Spades}{j-Hearts} for a pair of jacks to take the pot.

"Are you from Italy," tablemate Uri Reichenstein asked Isaia.

"You play like a Euro," Hadioglu joked.
