Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Dejan Jakovljevic
Dejan Jakovljevic

An open-raise was called by Sorin Ionut Morariu and Dejan Jakovljevic then three-bet, which resulted in two calls. The {7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop was checked to Jakovljevic and he pushed all in. The initial raiser folded and Morariu called.

Dejan Jakovljevic: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Sorin Ionut Morariu: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

The {k-Hearts} turn came a blank, but the {8-Diamonds} river saved Jakovljevic, who doubled for 150,500.

Castaignon Busts Poustis

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Remi Castaignon
Remi Castaignon

Remi Castaignon three-bet to 18,000 on the button and initial raiser Marc Poustis called to see a {q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop. Poustis ended up all in with the {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and Castaignon looked him up with {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}.

While Poustis still had some live cards, his run on Day 1a came to an end as the {4-Clubs} appeared on the turn. The river was the meaningless {a-Spades} and the Frenchman headed to the rail.

Charalambous Cracks Aces

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Christodoulos Charalambous three-bet to 27,000 and Maxime Foures then pushed all in for more than 170,000, which had Charalambous covered. The Greek eventually called and was at risk for 100,500 in total.

Christodoulos Charalambous: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Maxime Foures: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

Foures was on the verge of adding another decent chunk of chips to his stack but fell behind on the {j-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop. Neither the {8-Diamonds} turn nor the {6-Hearts} river changed anything and that locked up the double for Charalambous.

Visa Kiviharju: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Pasquale Braco: {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}

The {3-Hearts} filled up the board and Braco took down the pot with threes full of eighs, sending Kiviharju to the rail.
