Danut Chisu raised to 25,000 from the button and Ferenc Deak three-bet to 93,000 from the small blind. The big blind got out of the way and Chisu called.

Both players checked the turn to see {9-Clubs} on the flop. Deak fired 200,000 and Chisu went into the tank for a moment before he finally got away from it to give up the pot.

Grieco Barrels Twice to Chip Up

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

In a battle big blind versus button, a three-bet pot emerged between Nicola Grieco and Marcelo Simoes. Grieco led the {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop for 45,000 and Simoes called. They headed to the {8-Clubs} turn on which Grieco instantly bet 100,000.

Simoes verified the bet size and folded.

Two hands later, Grieco jammed the button into two shorter stacks and forced folds from Daniel Golder and Simone Andrian.

"Ace king is good?" he asked in Italian and flashed the {k-Hearts}.

"You only showed the king," Andrian joked back with a smile on the face.

Yannick Cardot: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

Gomez Zapatero Vanishes on Outer Tables

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Javier Gomez Zapatero
Javier Gomez Zapatero

Just before the upcoming break, Javier Gomez Zapatero was involved in a bigger pot with Danut Chisu in which his {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flopped a set on the {k-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{x-Spades}{a-Spades} board. He left 5,000 chips behind on the river and Chisu's {j-Spades}{9-Spades} made a flush to chip up significantly.

Gomez Zapatero bowed out in the very next hand against Ferenc Deak, who then kept up the aggression with his big stack. Chisu opened and called a three-bet to 75,000 by Deak from the very next seat. On the {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop, Chisu opted to check-call for 40,000 and checked again the {10-Hearts} turn.

Deak now bet 85,000 and Chisu sent his cards into the muck.

Jean Cristiani: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}

Back In Action With Five Tables

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

After an elimination on the feature table in the last hand before the break, it was required to break a table and balance the remaining 40 contenders. Once that was done, the cards went back in the air with half a level left at the current blinds.

Over on the featured table, Shyngis Satubayev opened to 25,000 on the button and Arthur Conan moved all-in for 234,000 in the big blind. Satubayev called.

Arthur Conan: {k-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Shyngis Satubayev: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

Conan was behind but had live cards, and the {k-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Spades} flop put him way ahead with two pair. The {4-Diamonds} turn locked up the pot for him as the meaningless {2-Clubs} completed the board.
