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

Dan Borlan raised to 2,600 from under the gun and Daniel Rezaei called from the button Adrian Mateos came along from the big blind and the flop was {6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}.

Mateos checked and Borlan fired 4,500. Rezaei folded and Mateos was quick into the muck behind him.

Mateos will look for momentum after the dinner break, while Borlan is setting the pace at the end of Level 10 with over 250,000.

Liperis Makes Set and Ousts Opponent

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

A small blind player got the rest of their stack in preflop and was covered by Yiannis Liperis in the big blind and Kristiyan Tirchyu in early position.

With roughly 35,000 in the main pot and a small side pot, the dealer spread the {9-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop. Liperis and Tirchyu both checked.

On the {2-Hearts} turn, Liperis bet 5,600 and Tirchyu called.

The {2-Spades} completed the board and Liperis jammed, covering Tirchyu's stack of approximately 45,000. Tirchyu thought about it but his cards went into the muck.

Liperis tabled {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for a set, while his at-risk opponent turned over {8-Spades}{4-Spades} and was eliminated.

Cohen Wins Big Three-Way Pot

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With around 8,000 in the pot and {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Hearts} on the board, Remi Marques bet 4,500 from early position and David Carrasco raised to 11,000. Bruno Cohen called from the next seat over before Marques shoved for around 45,000. Carrasco committed his last 30,000 and Bruno called for his last 35,000. The action was three ways with Carrasco and Cohen at risk.

David Carrasco: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Remi Marques: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Bruno Cohen: {k-Spades}{10-Spades}

Cohen had the lead with kings and tens, but he had to dodge a heart and hold off the ace-king of Marques. The turn was {5-Spades} and the river {8-Clubs}, allowing Cohen to hold and eliminate Carrasco while leaving Marques with just a few big blinds.

Saleh Goes Runner-Runner to Crack Mattern's Aces

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Frederic Casalta had gotten his 10,200 chips in preflop and Sadri Saleh called. Arnaud Mattern then moved in chips to cover Saleh, and Saleh called for his 25,000 chips.

Frederic Casalta: {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Sadri Saleh: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Arnaud Mattern: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

The {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop kept Mattern's rockets well ahead, although the {4-Clubs} turn gave Saleh a flush draw. The {a-Clubs} spiked the river to give Mattern a set he didn't want, as Saleh improved to a flush to win the pot, while Casalta was eliminated.

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Joao Vieira raised to 3,500 from under the gun and action folded all the way around to Michel Marcone in the big blind. Marcone called and action was heads-up with Vieira at risk.

Joao Vieira: {j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Michel Marcone: {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

The board ran out {10-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and Marcone held on to send Vieira to the rail.
