The same action happened on the turn {3-Diamonds}, this time for 90,000.

The river fell a {j-Clubs} and Feenstra moved all in for 157,000. Mateos snap-called with {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for the straight but mucked when Feenstra tabled {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds} for a better straight.

Speranza Loses Some to Chudapal

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

There is a huge amount of chips on the table of chip leader Norbert Szecsi, with over four million split between four players.

Meanwhile, on a {6-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} board with 300,000 in the middle already, Gianluca Speranza was facing a bet of 160,000 from Siarhei Chudapal.

Speranza called, and the pair then checked the {10-Diamonds} river. Chudapal showed {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades} and that was good enough to take down the pot, and move to around a million himself.
