Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante
Reza Tabatabai
Reza Tabatabai

With a huge pot in the middle that appeared to be over 20,000 and a full board of {9-Hearts}{a-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{6-Diamonds}, Reza Mostafavi shoved his last 15,900 and Khashayar Maragheh went into the tank.

Maragheh spent much of his time chatting up Mostafavi and probing for information before the clock was finally called. The tournament director made his way over, but Maragheh tossing in calling chips before the proceedings could begin. Mostafavi turned over {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and Maragheh clapped in frustration while briskly tossing his hand into the muck.

On the tail end of a pot between Lukas Zaskodny and Shakhabiddin Muradov, the board showed {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}{q-Clubs}{2-Hearts}. Zaskodny had bet 4,000 and Muradov then raised to 14,000 total in order to pick up a reluctant call.

Muradov turned over the {q-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for a full house and Zaskodny mucked to drop below half the starting stack.

Marquez Chips Up; Mokri Doubles and Giovannone Busts

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante
Kayhan Mokri
Kayhan Mokri

On the tail end of a three-way pot, Ana Marquez was spotted leading for 3,500 and her sole remaining opponent let go with the board showing {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}.

The action on the table remained high as a three-way pot to the {10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop was checked to Luca Giovannone in the cutoff, who bet 3,000 into 2,800 and earned calls from Kayhan Mokri in the small blind and Pasquale Di Ceglie in the hijack.

After the {2-Clubs} turn, it checked to Giovannone once more and he bet 8,000 to receive another two calls. Mokri then jammed the {k-Spades} river for 13,200 and Di Ceglie folded. Giovannone called after a few seconds with the {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} only to get shown the {k-Clubs}{10-Spades} for two pair by Mokri.

That hand left Giovannone with 500 chips and they went in the next hand. He received two callers including John Mooney in the small blind. As the {k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{a-Spades} board was checked down, the {a-Clubs}{6-Hearts} of Mooney were best and Giovannone was felted holding the {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

Banicevic Leaves Panetti Short

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

Picking up the action on the {10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop, Vlado Banicevic bet 2,000 in the cutoff and Christophe Panetti used one T-5,000 chip for the call as he had very few chips behind.

The {5-Diamonds} followed on the turn and Banicevic now moved all-in. Panetti shrugged and folded the {10-Clubs} river face-up.

"Aces?" the Swiss asked and Banicevic nodded.

Four ways to the {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} turn, Vicente Delgado bet 1,300 in the small blind. Alex Peffly in the big blind and Mustapha Kanit from under the gun folded. Christopher Chaudey opted to call on the button and Delgado then motioned a check on the {q-Spades} river.

More than a minute passed before Chaudey glanced over at his opponent, waiting for the action only to be told that Delgado had already checked. Chaudey instantly checked behind with {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and chopped as Delgado had the {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}.
