Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

A player in the hijack three-bet to 12,500 before Mojtaba Teymouri, on the button, moved all in for 23,000. An early-position player then reraised to 40,000 and the hijack got out of the way.

Mojtaba Teymouri: A♣A♠
Opponent: A♦K♥

Teymouri had woken up with aces and was a big favorite to double up as the board ran out 7♣J♣2♥10♠J♥, keeping him in front and securing a double up.

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Gianni Pireddu in the cutoff and an opponent on the button got all their chips in the middle before the flop.

Opponent: Q♣J♣
Gianni Pireddu: K♣K♦

Pireddu hit a set on the 4♥K♠A♥ flop, while his opponent picked up a straight draw. The 3♥ turn was no help, and Pireddu stayed in front on the 5♠ river to secure the pot.

The stacks were counted down and Pireddu had 28,000 remaining, barely having his opponent covered and sending him to the rail.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Leo Petit raised to 2,500 under the gun and was called by Julian Diaz Ubeda before a player in the cutoff moved all in for 22,000. The small blind tanked for a minute before reshoving, and Petit stuck in his last 28,000. Diaz Ubeda got out of the way.

Cutoff: Q♦Q♠
Leo Petit: A♥K♥
Small Blind: 9♠9♥

The cutoff was ahead heading to the 6♥7♥4♣ flop, which gave Petit the nut flush draw. The 7♠ turn was no help to Petit, but he hit the 8♥ on the river to collect the entire pot, sending out the cutoff while doubling up off the small blind.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A player in the cutoff raised to 2,400 and Ryan Dansie defended his big blind.

Both players checked the A♥7♠Q♦ flop before Dansie led out for 2,000 on the 5♦ turn.

The cutoff called to see the K♦ river, where Dansie bet another 11,000. His opponent quickly called and Dansie showed 7♦2♦.

The cutoff went to show a queen to take the pot before realizing Dansie had rivered a flush and the chips were pushed in his direction.

Yves Piacentino was all in for 30,500 from early position and Carlos Esquerdo got his last 8,000 in the middle from middle position. A player on the button had them both covered and at risk.

Carlos Esquerdo: A♦Q♦

Button: A♣Q♣

Piacentino was dominated by both opponents as the flop came 3♣6♥8♠. The 3♥ turn gave him a flush draw, and he completed his flush on the Q♥ river.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A player in the small blind three-bet to 6,500 as Steinn Karlsson tanked for a moment in the big blind before calling. The button also came along to create a three-way pot heading to the 9♥5♠7♦ flop.

The small blind then bet 12,700 and both players called. The turn came the 4♥ and the small blind then pushed forward a stack of chips for a bet of 48,000.

Karlsson called for his last 19,500, while the button got out of the way. The small blind showed J♥J♣, but Karlsson had A♥A♣ and was a card away from a big double up as the 9♣ fell on the river, securing the pot for Karlsson.
