Luis Medina opened for 12,000 and it folded round to Ludovic Geilich in the big blind, who made the call.

The flop fell {6-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and after Geilich checked, Medina checked it back. The turn came the {7-Diamonds} and Geilich lead for 13,000, which Medina flatted.

Scalzi Gets Lucky Versus Moreira De Melo

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Fatima Moreira de Melo
Fatima Moreira de Melo

PokerStars Ambassador Fatima Moreira De Melo has taken a hit to her stack after losing a three-outer against Antonio Scalzi. Moreira De Melo opened to 10,000 and Scalzi moved all in for 65,000 from the small blind. Moreira De Melo made a quick call but Scalzi thought she had folded and his cards almost went into the muck, before the confusion was sorted out.

Fatima Moreira De Melo: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Antonio Scalzi: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

The flop was an interesting {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}, giving Scalzi more outs to chop. The {j-Clubs} on the river saw Scalzi move into the lead and with no king, ace or case nine on the {10-Clubs} river, Fatima counted out the chips to hand over.

Kosk Doubles Through Evard

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Ermo Kosk has lost chips so far today. He limped in the small blind out of 90,000 and Francois Evard checked the big blind.

The flop fell {7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Kosk lead for 12,000. Evard raised to 25,000 and it was a snap-all in from Kosk followed by an equally fast call by Evard.

Ermo Kosk: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Francois Evard: {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

It was top pair vs an overpair and Evard needed a nine or a king to eliminate Kosk. The {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs} turn and river didn't oblige and Kosk gets a much-needed double.
