Fresh off busting Sirzat Hissou, Zhong Chen raised it up to 3,500. Table short stack Stoyan Madanzhiev then three-bet jammed for the last 20,000 and Ognyan Dimov went all-in over the top for 105,500 to isolate for the €5,000 bounty. Chen asked for a count but ended up folding.

Stoyan Madanzhiev: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Ognyan Dimov: {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

Newey Felted by Kulev

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Paul Newey
Paul Newey

The action unfolded in the last hand of the previous level and lasted a few minutes into the first scheduled break.

With some 45,000 in the middle in a hand between Alex Kulev and Paul Newey, the former bet the {q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop for 10,000. Newey called within a few seconds and both then checked the {8-Diamonds} on the turn. Kulev jammed the {8-Hearts} river for around 95,000, which happened to be the covering stack.

Newey had some 70,000 behind and invested one time bank extension before tossing in a single chip for the call. Kulev revealed the {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for eights full of queens and that was good enough to score the bounty prize, as Newey only held {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} for an inferior full house.

Stakelis Beats Mulder in Showdown

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Yuri Dzivielevski raised to 4,500 and was called by Teun Mulder from one seat over in the hijack, Audrius Stakelis also called in the big blind. On the {6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop, only Stakelis check-called Mulder's bet worth 5,000 and both players then checked the {q-Spades} on the turn.

Stakelis also checked the {k-Diamonds} on the river and Mulder made it 20,000 to go. The call of his opponent followed and Mulder flipped over the {8-Spades}{7-Spades} for a busted straight and flush draw. Stakelis had that beat with the {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for a pair of sixes to pull ahead of Mulder.
