Herold Takes From Biz and Vranken

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Mustafa Biz raised from early position to 500 and he was called by Kai Herold from the hijack and Antoine Vranken from the button.

The flop was dealt {q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and all three players checked to see the {3-Hearts} on the turn. Biz made a late continuation-bet of 700 and Herold called. Vranken folded and they continued heads-up to the {9-Spades} river.

Biz checked this time and Herold put in a bet of 2,000. Biz called but he mucked his hand after seeing the {q-Spades}{j-Spades} of Herold.

In a big pot to the {a-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{10-Spades} river, Conor Beresford folded to the push of Aleksandr Sheshukov and was left with a mere 10,500. He then jammed up his stack once and opened to 500 after. Yuan Li three-bet to 1,700 and Beresford stuck in his last 13,500. Li gave it brief consideration and folded.

Demircan Takes His Time

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante
Serdar Demircan
Serdar Demircan

The board was already {3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{10-Spades} when Serdar Demircan had checked to Gaby Livshitz. Demircan thought Livshitz was taking too much time on every street and announced to the table he was going to do the same. Livshitz bet 2,700 and Demircan then waited three minutes until someone else at the table called the clock on him.

He ended up calling and the {a-Spades} river completed the board. Demircan waited another minute before calling the clock on himself before checking. Livshitz then fired a bet of 3,500 and Demircan waited another minute before he called the clock on himself again.

His thirty seconds ran out and Demircan slid his cards forward. Demircan said: ''Oh no?! Is my hand dead now?'' before engaging in a discussion with a member of the floor staff who then made him aware of the fact that if any player engages in useless tanking they can call the clock after a shorter period of time.

Action Table; Richez Doubles Up

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante
Clement Richez
Clement Richez

On Table 15, two players had already busted and Clement Richez had just sat down.

He was all-in on the {7-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades} board from the big blind after Oleg Drews had shoved on the button with the bigger stack. Ionel Anton check-folded in the cutoff and showed he had {q-}{q-}.

Clement Richez: {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Oleg Drews: {a-Spades}{3-Spades}

Richez had flopped a pair of sevens and held an open-ended straight draw while Drews was sitting on a flush draw.

The turn was the {6-Diamonds} which gave Richez the straight indeed and the river completed the board with the {q-Clubs} to secure the double-up.

Castaignon Gets Ditz to Fold

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

In a battle button versus small blind, Remi Castaignon four-bet to 7,600 and Franz Ditz called after he had invested a three-bet to 2,600 already. The {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop was checked by Ditz and he then called a bet worth 3,500 by Castaignon. After the {3-Diamonds} turn both elected to check and Ditz also checked the {j-Clubs} on the river.

Castaignon bet 11,500, which represented a large portion of Ditz's stack, and the reluctant fold followed.
