Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Dimitar Danchev opened 2,100 on the button and Morten Klein defended the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 10♥9♥3♠ and Klein check-called a bet of 2,000.

When the 8♦ fell on the turn, Klein check-called once again; this time Danchev fired 9,000.

When the K♦ completed the board, Klein checked for a final time before Danchev dropped a bet of 15,000 across the line. Klien wasted no time making the call. Danchev tabled A♥A♦ but it was no good as Klein showed K♥10♠, for a rivered two pair.

Pablo Brito raised from the hijack to 3,000 and was called by Ryan Price. Arjel Daci in the big blind jumped into the pot too, and all three of them discovered the flop 7♠8♥6♣, where everybody checked.

On the turn J♦, Price bet 3,000 and made Daci fold. But on the other side of the table, Brito raised to 10,500. After 30 seconds, Price called.

The river was the Q♦, and Brito bet 16,000. After checking, Price eventually called but mucked his cards when Brito revealed Q♠10♠ for a pair hit on the river.

When the 10♣7♣7♥ flop hit the felt, Lecoeuvre continued for 11,000 and Kropmanns called.

The A♣ turn was checked through to see the K♦ river. Lecoeuvre checked once more and Kropmanns fired a bet of 32,500. Lecoeuvre went deep into the tank and eventually made the call. Kropmanns tabled K♣J♣, turning the nut flush and Lecoeuvre sighed with disappointment as he tossed his cards into the muck.

Michel Dattani: Q♥Q♣
Peter Patricio: A♦Q♠

When the two players all in showed their cards, Kassouf revealed 10♠10♣. "I saved 65,000 chips," he said. Then the dealer fanned a board of 9♦5♠3♥J♣5♥, and Dattani doubled up.
