Dan O'Hair

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Allan Dyrstad had already three-bet to 1,800 on the button and Adelin Cirstea called from middle position.

Cirstea check-called a 1,500 bet from Dyrstad on the J♠5♠7♦ flop and then both players checked on the 4♦ turn.

Cirstea led out for 3,200 when the 5♥ completed the board and Dyrstad decided to look him up. Cirstea tabled 6♣5♣ for trip fives and Dyrstad mucked — conceding the pot to Cirstea.

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Jose Gonzalez raised to 700 from early position and picked up several calls, including Thierry Gogniat and Yannick Gautschi.

The flop came 4♠5♠J♦. Action checked to Gogniat, who bet 1,200. Gautschi raised to 4,200 and players folded back to Gogniat, who made the call.

Two players went to the turn, which was the 4♣. Gogniat checked and Gautschi bet 7,500, which Gogniat called.

The river was the 5♣. Gogniat checked again and Gautschi moved all in for less than 20,000. Gogniat folded his hand and showed 7♠3♠ for busted flush, straight-flush, and gutshot straight draws. Gautschi mucked and took the pot.

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Action was on the flop on a board of 10♠8♠3♠ and three players were all in, with Nima Bigdeli the shortest stack and Zhiping Zeng covered by Ruben Moreno.

Nima Bigdeli: J♣10♣
Zhiping Zeng: K♠7♣
Ruben Moreno: A♠5♣

Bigdeli had a pair of tens, Zeng had a useless king-high flush draw as Moreno had the ace-high flush draw.

The turn came the K♣ and the river was the 9♦. Zeng managed to pair up his king on the turn and held on the river to win the pot and triple up his stack. Bigdeli was eliminated from the tournament and Moreno was left with just 5,500 behind.

Zhiping Zeng	82,000 82,000	82,000

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Inaki Gonzalez opened to 800 from middle position and was called by Fernando Molina in the hijack. Mendel Uzan then squeezed to 2,400 from the cutoff and action folded back around to Gonzalez, who called. Molina called as well.

The flop came A♣2♣5♦ and Gonzalez checked to Molina, who shoved for his last 7,300. Uzan went all in for more and Gonzalez got out fo the way.

Fernando Molina: K♣J♣
Mendel Uzan: A♦K♥

Uzan was ahead with a pair of aces, but the 5♣ turn gave Molina a flush and left Uzan drawing slim.

The J♦ river bricked out and Molina received a much-needed double up.

Inaki Gonzalez	68,000 68,000	68,000
Fernando Molina	23,000 23,000	23,000

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Martin Lee raised from early position and picked up four callers before Aren Bezhanyan reraised to 5,500 from the big blind. Lee called the reraise, as did Roberto Corbelli and Gael Dirig.

The flop came 4♣10♦Q♥ and Bezhanyan bet 6,200. Only Lee made the call and the rest of the table folded.

The turn was the 8♦ and Bezhanyan moved all in for 22,000. Lee made the call and players flipped their cards. Lee showed A♥J♦ for ace high and Bezhanyan showed 7♠7♣ for pocket sevens.

The river came the 2♦. Bezhanyan won the pot and Lee was eliminated from the tournament.

"Did you expect to win that one when he called?" asked a neutral player. Bezhanyan shook his head.
