Fernandez Loses Flip to Jattin

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Leo Fernandez shoved from early position for around 10 big blinds with the {K-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Farid Jattin called in the big blind with {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}.

Despite picking up a gutshot, Fernandez failed to get there on a board of {9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{J-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and the pair of eights scooped the pot for Jattin.

Peters Flops Well; Still Busts

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

David Peters open-shoved for what looked like 104,000 and Andrey Shatilov called in the big blind.

Peters: {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Shatilov: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

The flop of {J-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Hearts} gave Peters the nut flush, and Shatilov had a set. After the {A-Spades} turn, nothing changed, but the {J-Diamonds} river paired the board to eliminate Peters.

Small Pot for Heath

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

The three-way flop of {Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{7-Clubs} was checked around and the {3-Hearts} appeared on the turn to see Ben Heath and Leo Yan Ho Cheng in the blinds check. Jason Mercier bet 13,000 and just Heath called.

After the {A-Diamonds} river, Heath checked and Mercier checked behind. Heath flipped over {Q-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and that was good enough to win the pot.

Yan Busts Sontheimer, Cripples McDonald

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Steffen Sontheimer (here in the €50,000 Super High Roller)
Steffen Sontheimer (here in the €50,000 Super High Roller)

Steffen Sontheimer pushed all in for 26,000 and small blind Mike McDonald raised to 44,000. Big blind [Removed:17] made the call and called McDonald's 25,000 continuation bet on {6-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} as well.

McDonald bet another 35,000 on the {9-Hearts} turn and again Yan called. The {5-Spades} completed the board and McDonald checked. Yan bet 64,000 and McDonald called.

Yan showed {A-Spades}{5-Clubs} for the rivered two-pair and McDonald mucked. Sontheimer had hoped that Yan was bluffing McDonald with a missed {Q-}{J-}, but wasn't so lucky in the end and open mucked his {K-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. He made his exit, but only after hitting the free bar one last time.

Mike McDonald had 41,000 left after the hand, and busted soon after.
