Level 3 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

As players were preparing to head off on break, Julian Mosquera and Claudiu-Doru Bojan went to the turn on a board of J♦7♦A♦9♦. Mosquera then bet 1,200 from the big blind and Bojan called in the small blind.

The river was the 8♦ and Bojan moved all in. Mosquera let out a loud sigh and shot up from his seat before calling for 8,400 with K♦Q♥ for a flush. Bojan mucked and Mosquera took the pot to double up.

"I don't need the stress. You're going to give me a heart attack," Mosquera told him as they joined the rest of the field on break.
