Arun Sood raised to 5,000 in middle position, Joe Hindry moved all in for 30,000 from the hijack, and Sood quickly called.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Arun Sood and Reza Mostafavita built a pot of around 40,000 preflop, and Sood threw in 32,000 from the small blind even before the dealer turned over the 9♦4♠5♣ flop. Mostafavita then moved all in for 76,500 in the cutoff, and Sood snap-called.

Reza Mostafavita: 2♦2♥ All in
Arun Sood: A♣K♣

Mostafavita was ahead with his deuces until the K♥ fell on the turn, giving Sood top pair. The river was the 10♠ and Sood took the pot to send Mostafavita to the rail.

Andrei Teodorescu again reached to give Sood a fist bump, and this time Sood returned the favor. "Having fun?" Teodorescu asked him.

"Of course. Always," Sood replied.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Jack Hardcastle moved all in for 34,000 from the small blind and Ali Abdulzahra put him at risk on the button.

Jack Hardcastle: 10♦10♥ All in
Ali Abdulzahra: K♦J♥

The flop came 10♠5♠2♣ to give Hardcastle top set, and he already began taking back his chips in anticipation of his double up. "Queen," Abdulzahra pleaded, and he got his wish as the Q♥ fell on the turn.

Hardcastle put his chips back in the middle and awaited the river, which was a harmless 6♣ as he finally celebrated his double up.

Andrei Teodorescu moved all in for 25,000 from the big blind on a flop of A♥Q♥10♣, and Arun Sood called in the cutoff.

Andrei Teodorescu: A♦8♥ All in
Arun Sood: K♥10♦

Teodorescu was ahead with top pair, while Sood had a pair and straight draw. The turn was the 3♦, while the 5♣ fell on the river and Teodorescu doubled up.

Teodorescu leaned across the table and went to give Sood a fist bump after the hand. "No. Next time when I win," Sood told him.

"I'll take you out," Teodorescu added.

"I don't mind," Sood replied as the two players exchanged some playful banter.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Davide Magnan bet 12,000 from the button on a flop of A♦4♣3♦ and Reza Mostafavita called in the small blind.

The turn was the 2♣ and Magnan moved all in for 34,900. Mostafavita took a minute before calling with 6♣6♦, while Magnan had A♣K♦ for top pair.

Mostafavita was looking for a six or five to make a straight, but he missed the 8♠ river as Magnan jumped out of his seat and let out a deep breath as the dealer pushed him over the pot.

"You didn't believe I had an ace?" he asked Mostafavita after the hand.

"I knew you had an ace. Big pot. I needed a five or a six. I play my game," Mostafavita replied.

At another table, Antoine Labat had three-bet to 13,000 in the big blind and Ali Abdulzahra called in the cutoff.

Action was checked to the river on a board of J♥5♦8♠3♠Q♦ when Labat bet 21,000. Abdulzahra then moved all in, and Labat called for his last 40,000.

Labat showed A♠Q♠ for top pair, but Abdulzahra had a set with 3♥3♦ to win the pot and send Labat to the rail.
