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

Jean Mikhael raised to 2,500 from middle position and received a call from the small blind and Karim Abdelmoumene in the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 3♥2♦8♥, and Mikhael didn't wait to go all in for 15,000 chips after the blinds checked. The small blind folded, but Abdelmoumene eventually called.

Jean Mikhael: A♠J♦
Karim Abdelmoumene: 8♣7♦

Abdelmoumene had top pair, but the A♦ turn and the J♥ river gave two pairs to Mikhael, who doubled up.

Down to 300 chips, Karim Abdelmoumene was eliminated on the next hand.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

In a blind versus blind situation, the defender Miroslav Alilovic limp-called after Maksim Vaskresenski raised to 3,500 from the big blind.

Alilovic check-called on the flop 5♠K♥5♥ when Vaskresenski bet 2,300. But on the turn 2♣, he decided to fold after Vaskresenski added 4,500 chips to the pot.

On his way to a second title, Alilovic keeps the starting stack, while Vaskresenski has one of the biggest stacks so far (115,000).
