An Opportune Time for Aces

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Said Chegdane
Said Chegdane

Alexander Norden was all in from early position and Majid Ejlal Noubarian committed the rest of his small stack from the next seat over. Said Chegdane looked down and called both players with more from the small blind and action was three ways with Norden and Noubarian at risk.

Alexander Norden: {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}
Majid Ejlal Noubarian: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Said Chegdane: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{a-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{3-Spades} and Chegdane made quad aces to knock out both players and move above 150,000.

Huynh Eliminated by Guerrini

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The action was picked up on the {q-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop on which Liem Huynh bet 4,500 from under the gun. Michele Guerrini eyeballed the stack of his opponent, who revealed the three blue T-5,000 chips he had behind. The raise to 25,000 by Guerrini folloded and Huynh called all-in.

Liem Huynh: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Michele Guerrini: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The {9-Spades} turn and {7-Diamonds} river brought no surprise and that spelled the end for the Swede.

Coutinho No More After Clash With Maliqi

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The action folded to Sergio Coutinho in the small blind and he jammed into the big blind of Bleron Maliqi. A quick glance at his cards followed before Maliqi quickly called.

Sergio Coutinho: {a-Spades}{4-Diamonds}
Bleron Maliqi: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

No ace appeared on the {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{k-Spades}{2-Clubs} board and that sent the Portuguese poker pro to the rail in the last level of the night.

Roboh Eliminated by Blasio

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Francesco Blasio asked for a count on the shove by Simon Roboh to potentially lure a third player into the pot but everyone else folded and Blasio then snap-called.

Simon Roboh: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Francesco Blasio: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

The {7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} board left Roboh drawing dead on the turn and he bumped fists with Blasio before heading to the rail.

Diaz Gets a Move Through

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Three ways to the {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop, the action checked to Nugzar Glonti and he bet for Guillaume Diaz in the big blind to call. Vahe Martirosyan then check-raised to 10,200 and both opponents called.

The trio checked the {2-Clubs} turn and Diaz bet the {10-Hearts} river for 25,800 with around 1,800 behind. Two folds later, the chips were sent over to Diaz and Parker Talbot joked "it would be really cool if you show a bluff".
