Frank Visser

Level 3 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Arriving on the Q♥5♥5♠7♥ turn, cutoff Stanislav Zegal fired a small bet of 40,000 into a big pot of 140,000. Ermanno Di Nicola called on the button, after which he checked the 4♦ turn over to Di Nicola.

Di Nicola then put Zegal all-in for his last 70,000. Zegal went deep into the tank, spending some of his time banks before he folded, leaving himself with 35 big blinds.

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

In a three-way pot on the 8♠4♥J♥ flop, it checked to Filip Lovric under the gun, who bet 7,000 into the pot of 16,000. Alexi Skoulos called in the small blind, while Tomer Halevy mucked his cards in the big blind.

After the Swedish duo checked the 5♥ turn, Skoulos bet 15,000 on the K♣ river. Lovric took a good look at the board before he called.

Skoulos showed 9♥7♣6♥5♣ for a flush with his nine-six, and Lovric made sure he did not have a better hand before he mucked his holding.

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

Hadar Hason raised to 5,500 under the gun. It folded to Dario Alioto, who defended his big blind. Hason continued for 11,000 on the 5♦8♦Q♣ flop, which Alioto check-called.

The 2♣ turn was then checked by both players before Alioto knuckled the table on the J♦ river as well. Hason decided on a small bet of 8,000, and Alioto called after some thought.

Hason showed K♠K♥Q♦3♦ for a flush, and Alioto mucked his cards as he was left with about half a starting stack.

Stanislav Zegal raised to 5,500 in the hijack. Florian Kraft called in the cutoff before Ermanno Di Nicola squeezed in a three-bet to 24,500 on the button. Zegal called before Kraft folded.

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

Csaba Fenyvesi limped in under the gun, prompting Martin Nielsen to raise to 4,500 in the cutoff. Espen Myrmo then three-bet to 16,000, which only Nielsen called.

The duo checked through the 9♣J♦6♠ flop, leading to the 5♦ turn. Nielsen bet the pot of 35,500, and Myrmo called. Nielsen pushed in 100,000 on the K♣ river, but this time he was put all in by Myrmo.

Nielsen had 70,000 behind, and after a short tank, he decided to call it off. Myrmo showed A♣Q♠10♠9♠ for the rivered nuts, leaving Nielsen's lower straight with K♦9♥7♥8♦ in the dust and sending him to the exit.
