Level 5 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel

David Peters opened to 5,500 in the cutoff and was called by Rainer Kempe on the button, Steve O'Dwyer in the small blind, and Jean-Noel Thorel in the big blind.

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Clubs} and the action checked to Peters who continued for 6,000. Kempe and O'Dwyer folded but Thorel still called. The turn was the {8-Clubs} and both players quickly checked.

The river brought the {a-Spades} and Thorel checked for the third time. Peters counted out a bet of 30,000 as his time was expiring and Thorel quickly called. Peters showed {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and Thorel had {a-Clubs}{4-Hearts} to claim the pot.

Picking up the action on the turn with three players still in the hand, Koray Aldemir bet 8,000 from the big blind into a pot of around 30,000. The board read {j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Sam Greenwood called in middle position while Daniel Dvoress folded in the small blind.

The river was the {q-Spades} and Aldemir tossed in another bet of 9,500. Greenwood went into the tank before sliding in a raise to 100,000. Aldemir only had around 50,000 remaining and he quickly called. Greenwood turned over {k-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for the nut straight while Aldemir had {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a smaller straight.
