Ollie Garland

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jan Cerny raised to 2,800 from under the gun. Stojan Vazic called on the button, as did the player in the small blind and Jean-Charles Remaud in the big.

Four players saw a flop that came Q♦3♠J♥. The action checked to Vazic, who bet out for 4,100. The small blind folded and Remaud responded with a raise to 10,500.

Cerny got out of the way and Vazic went into the tank. Vazic eventually elected to fold and Remaud claimed this pot.

Ollie Garland

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Cyprien Chassagne raised to 2,300 from the cutoff. Theo Degrave defended in the big blind.

Degrave check-called a bet of 1,500 from Chassagne on a flop of Q♥2♠3♠.

The 2♦ turn saw Degrave check again. Chassagne bet out for 4,000 and Degrave check-raised to 14,500. Chassagne made the call.

The river landed the J♣ and Degrave emptied the click, sliding in enough blue chips to put Chassagne to the test for his remaining 37,500. After some time in the tank, Chassagne made the call.

Cyprien Chassagne: A♣Q♠
Theo Degrave: 5♦4♦

Chassagne made the correct call and was rewarded with the full double-up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Cyprien Chassagne	110,000 110,000	110,000
Theo Degrave	65,000 65,000	65,000

Pozo Puts the Pressure On

Ollie Garland

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The pot stood at 9,000 with two players looking at a board that read 6♦2♦10♣2♠.

David Pozo, in the big blind, bet out for 2,300. Simon Rozencwajg called.

The 9♠ river saw Pozo place a bet of 35,000; more than enough to put Rozencwajg all in for his last 13,300. Rozencwajg remained in the tank for some time before electing to fold, leaving himself short.
