Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Huifang Zhang opened 2,000 in early position and both Thi Nguyen and James Mendoza came along in the blinds.
When the K♥9♣5♦ flop hit the felt, the action checked to Zhang who continued for 3,000. Only Nguyen called.
The K♦ paired the board on the turn and both players checked to the 2♥ river. Nguyen fired 8,000 across the line and Zhang snap-mucked.
The following hand, Zhang opened for 2,000 under the gun and Umar Khan called in the cutoff before Nguyen put in a three-bet to 6,500 which was enough to earn the pot.

Jae Kyung Sim opened to 1,700 from middle position and was called by Tom Janssens in the cutoff. Cesar Hanouadi then squeezed to 7,100 from the small blind and Sim asked for a count before announcing he was all in for a bit over 40,000.
Janssens and Hanouadi both folded and Sim added to his stack without resistance.
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Joey Weissman three-bet to 3,200 on the button and Marcel Brunner called under the gun.
The flop came Q♣10♥7♠ and Weissman continued for 5,500. Brunner quickly tossed in the chips to call as the 10♣ fell on the turn.
Weissman then bet another 9,500 and Brunner this time came back with an all-in shove for 25,000. Weissman snap-called and Brunner showed K♦Q♥ for two pair.
Weissman, though, turned over A♠Q♠ and had Brunner dominated heading to the 3♠ river, sending Brunner to the rail and Weissman's stack above 100,000.
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
From the cutoff, Linda van de Ree opened to 2,000 and was called by both players in the blinds.
When the flop A♥J♦Q♥ came, she made a continuation bet of 2,000. Only Yoann Casanovas in the small blind check-called.
He checked again on the turn J♠, and van de Ree checked back. On the river Q♦, Casanovas took the lead and added 3,000 chips to the pot. Van de Ree eventually called and showed A♦K♦. That was the winning hand, as Casanovas revealed 10♠9♠ for a missed straight draw.
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Hossein Madani opened to 1,700 from under the gun and Kai Lehto called in the small blind.
Lehto checked on the flop of 5♣5♦A♦ and Madani continued for 1,200. Lehto checked again on the 5♠ turn and Madani quickly checked back.
The 4♣ river completed the board and Lehto led out for a hefty 11,000. Madani quickly called. Lehto showed A♠K♦ for a full house as Madani showed the same full house with A♥Q♣ for the two to chop the pot.

Michael Wang opened to 1,800 first-to-act and was three-bet to 4,300 by Dylan Cechowski in the cutoff. Robert Heidorn then four-bet shoved for around 20,000 from the big blind, which got two quick folds from Wang and Cechowski — sending the uncontested pot Heidorn's way.
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Ramon Miquel raised to 2,000 in middle position before Stephen Woodhead moved all in for 14,700 on the button. Miquel tanked when action folded back to him and eventually called to put Woodhead at risk.
Stephen Woodhead: K♠Q♣
Ramon Miquel: 5♣5♦
Woodhead was racing for his tournament life as the 9♣7♣9♠ flop opened the possibility of counterfeiting Miquel's pair. The 7♥ turn put two pair on the board as Woodhead took the lead.
The river was the 2♣ and Miquel was left paying off a double up.

After he won the €1,100 Estrellas Poker Tour Main Event and beat a field of 7,398 entries (the largest live tournament field in PokerStars history) earlier in the Day, Lucien Cohen wants more than the €676,230 he won.
So after the dinner break, he jumped into Day 1b of the €5,300 EPT Barcelona Main Event. Can he win both Main Events in the festival and a second EPT in his career? That's what he'll try to do.

Silma Macalou raised 1,600 on the button and Casey Kastle defended the big blind.
Both players checked to the K♠8♦6♣4♠ turn, where Kastle led out for 1,600 and Macalou called.
The Q♣ hit the river, and Kastle fired again, this time for 5,000. Macalou thought about it for about 30 seconds before releasing his hand.
