Benaissa Dusts Off Desset
Level 11
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
In a battle of the blinds, Sofian Benaissa and Andrej Desset went at it, and the latter ended up as the player at risk.
Andrej Desset: 
Sofian Benaissa: 
The 
flop and the 
turn provided each of the over cards for Benaissa, and the 
river was a blank to eliminate Desset. Younesse Oualgasi and Alexander Teufel are nowhere to be found either.

Fara Busts Waltermann
Level 11
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Gregor Waltermann raised to 3,700 from under the gun and was called by Francisco Jose Garcia Martin, Alexey Antokhin and Sergio Alonso Camunas in the small blind. Tomas Fara was priced in from the big blind and also came along for the ride.
The flop fell 
and the action checked to Waltermann, who bet 11,000. All opponents but Fara folded and the Czech then moved all in via check-raise. Waltermann quickly called and Fara asked "do you have jacks?" Waltermann shook his head and simply said "I have a draw."
Tomas Fara: 
Gregor Waltermann: 
The 
turn and 
river blanked and Waltermann, who had around 70,000 after the flop, was eliminated. Fara took over the lead as [Removed:312] lost an expensive flip with ace-king against pocket queens.

flop. Roux continued for 3,000 and Hakli called before the 
fell on the turn. Hakli checked again and Roux bet 7,500. Hakli then check-raised to 20,500 and that did the trick to force a fold.
