Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Younes Hammouchi opened to 6,500 from early position and was three-bet to 16,500 by Dan Heimiller in the cutoff. Action folded back around to Hammouchi and he made it 27,500 to go. Heimiller tanked for a bit before deciding to call.

Both players checked on the 7♠K♥Q♠ flop and then Hammouchi bet 6,500 on the K♣ turn — leaving himself just 15,000 behind. Heimiller put Hammouchi all in and Hammouchi called off his remaining stack.

Younes Hammouchi: 7♦7♣
Dan Heimiller: A♦Q♥

Hammouchi had flopped a set of sevens and had Heimiller drawing slim.

The 10♦ river failed to improve Heimiller and Hammouchi doubled up.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Quan Zhou raised to 9,000 from early position and was called by Jean Dijoux from middle position and Ajith Tharmalingam on the button.

The flop came 4♦Q♦J♠ and Zhou bet 11,000. Dijoux folded, but Tharmalingam raised to 25,000. Zhou called.

Zhou checked to Tharmalingam on the 10♠ turn and he bet 25,000. Zhou again called.

The 7♠ completed the board and both players checked. Zhou turned over K♦Q♥ for a pair of queens, but it was second best against Tharmalingam's Q♠J♦ for queens-up to take down the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ajith Tharmalingam	260,000 170,000	170,000
Jean Dijoux	175,000 175,000	175,000

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action folded around to Younes Hammouchi, who put in a raise from late position. Roman Maydanyuk pushed all in from late position for 79,000 and Jonas Ten Cate moved all in from the small blind with a little more. Hammouchi folded and two players flipped their cards.

Roman Maydanyuk: 6♣6♠
Jonas Ten Cate: A♠Q♦

Cate had ace queen and Maydanyuk had pocket sixes. The board ran out 10♦5♠J♣9♥4♦. Cate couldn't catch any help and so Maydanyuk held with his sixes to double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Roman Maydanyuk	180,000
