Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

Aristeidis Moschonas defended his big blind against Cedric Colliard and check-called a bet on the {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop. On the {2-Hearts} turn, both players checked and Moschonas over-bet the {9-Spades} river for 2,300. Colliard reluctantly called and Moschonas turned over {k-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, Colliard had rivered a set with {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}.

Nuts for Wellenbach

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

Action was on the river and there was 12,500 in the middle, with two players facing a {8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} board. Nathan Gozlan checked and Scott Wellenbach bet half pot, setting 6,000 chips over the line. Gozlan tanked and apologised for taking his time when a couple of minutes had passed. He made the call but mucked when Wellenbach tabled {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for the flush.

Jiaming Eliminated by Soria

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante
Tournament Room
Tournament Room

Huan Jiaming raised to 300 and Rolando Soria three-bet to 900, which was called at least one more way before Jiaming also came along. On the {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop, only Jiaming check-called a bet of 2,000 and they headed to the {q-Clubs} turn.

Jiaming checked, Soria bet 4,000 and Jiaming check-raised to 9,000 after long consideration only for Soria to move all in. What followed was another think tank by Jiaming and the clock was called on him. Eventually, the call followed and the cards were turned over.

Huan Jiaming: {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Rolando Soria: {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}

Jiaming was drawing dead already, and the {8-Spades} river was a blank. Besides Michael Wang, Luca Maccatrozzo has also already chipped up on the same table.
