Level 2
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
In what started as a limped battle of the blinds, Belarmino De Souza just completed and Arthur Conan then raised to 3,500 for De Souza to call. The flop fell 
and De Souza checked, which led to a continuation bet worth 2,000 by Conan. De Souza check-raised to 6,000 and that shut down his table neighbour right away.

The action kicked off in a battle of the blinds with Timothy Adams making it 4,000 to go. Pierre Christensen eyeballed the stack of his table neighbour and came along. As they headed to the 
flop, Adams continued for another 4,000 and picked up a call from Christensen.
The 
turn was checked by Adams, who then called a bet worth 10,000. Adams also checked the 
on the river and Christensen now made it 23,500 to go. That sent his opponent in the tank and Adams used two time bank extensions before surrendering.

Ognyan Dimov opened the action with a button raise to 2,500 and then faced a three-bet to 11,000 by Alex Kulev in the small blind. DImov opted to call and they headed to the 
flop. Both players checked and did so again on the 
turn. The 
river brought no betting action either and Kulev's 
was good enough to claim the pot.
