Level 4 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

On the tail end of a hand between Sirzat Hissou and Adrian Mateos in the big blind, the completed board showed {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Spades}. Mateos made it 12,500 to go and Hissou eventually called to get shown the {k-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for the top pair by the Spaniard. That ended up as the winner, as Hissou mucked his cards.

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}

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{j-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Madanzhiev's kings prevailed to score the double up.

Chen Leaves Madanzhiev Short

Level 4 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Zhong Chen was all-in for the last 45,000 on the {5-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}{q-Spades} turn and needed the board to pair, as he was at risk with the {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. Stoyan Madanzhiev looked him up with the {9-Spades}{8-Spades} for a flush but was denied the bounty prize when the {3-Diamonds} river completed the board,

Christensen Jams Up his Stack

Level 3 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

On a completed board of {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, Ahmad Achegsei made it 32,000 to go. The pot was around two times of that and Pierre Christensen almost immediately pulled the trigger and moved all-in. His shove was for 95,500 and Achegsei asked for a count, then used one time bank extension before he opted to fold with the slightly covering stack.

Grafton Bad Beats Savio

Level 3 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Sam Grafton
Sam Grafton

Steve Savio had already vaulted out of his seat as he got his stack in against PokerStars ambassador Sam Grafton with the flop showing {k-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}.

Steve Savio: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Sam Grafton: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

Savio's mood immediately changed when the {k-Clubs} turn improved Grafton as he was left with the case ace only. "That's bad," he mumbled in French. As the blank {5-Spades} river completed the board, Savio grabbed his smart phone to take a picture and then left the tournament area. He returned for a few seconds only to grab his jacket, which he had left on the chair.

Nemeth Chips Up With Aggression

Level 3 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

In a four-bet pot with more than 40,000 already in the middle, the flop showed {9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Clubs} and Daewoong Song checked in the hijack. Andras Nemeth now made it 14,000 to go and without much hesitation, Song sent his cards into the muck.
