Kayhan Mokri opened 3,500 in the cutoff and both Flavien Mullet on the button and Majid Nadeem in the big blind made the call.

When the A♣4♦2♠ flop hit the felt, the action checked to Mullet who dropped a bet of 5,000 across the line. Both Nadeem and Mokri made the call.

The K♥ turn was checked through by all three players to see the 8♠ river. Nadeem checked once more and Mokri shot five chips across the line for a bet of 25,000. Both Mullet and Nadeem surrendered the pot as Mokri raked it in.

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Imad Derwiche raised to 3,500 from middle position and Johnny Mendes called from the big blind. The flop was 10♥8♦7♣ and Mendes checked. Derwiche shoved the rest of his short stack for around 20,000 and Mendes gave it a moment of thought. It was too much and Mendes gave up the pot.

Action was heads up on a nearby table with around 30,000 in the pot and K♦K♥3♣A♦ on the board. Kyle Cheong bet 10,500 from the big blind and Uri Reichenstein called from the cutoff. The river was 7♥ and Cheong slid out 50,000 to cover the rest of Reichenstein's chips. Reichenstein called for the rest of his stack and turned over A♣J♥, but Cheong had A♥Q♥ to take the pot with a pair of aces and a better kicker.

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Toby Joyce opened to 3,500 from middle position and was called by Yiannis Liperis from the cutoff. Sanjarbek Sabyrkulov then squeezed to 17,000 from the big blind and Joyce asked for a count before announcing he was all in for 81,000 total. Liperis quickly folded and Sabyrkulov called to put Joyce at risk.

Toby Joyce: K♥K♦
Sanjarbek Sabyrkulov: Q♥Q♣

Sabyrkulov was in trouble against Joyce's cowboys, and the 3♣7♣7♠6♦9♣ runout kept Joyce in front for the double up.

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Ignacio Sagra opened 4,000 in middle position and only Meng Guo came along in the big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of J♥9♠4♣, and Guo check-called a continuation bet of 5,000.

When the 2♦ hit the turn, Guo check-called once again. This time Sagra put 7,500 into the middle.

The 4♦ fell on the river and both players tapped the table. Sagra opened a pair of jacks, showing K♥J♣ but it was no good as Guo tabled Q♦Q♠.

With about 12,000 in the middle on the A♣Q♣10♠ flop, both Yanis Avanesyan and Guoliang Wei checked to Benjamin Spragg who put in a bet of 6,500. Avanesyan got out of the way, but Wei stuck around with a call.

The 5♥ landed on the turn, and Wei checked once more before Spragg continued to fire, putting 18,000 across the line. Wei pushed his cards toward the dealer as Spragg pulled in the pot.

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Sammy Berrehail opened to 3,500 from the cutoff and was three-bet by Carl Shaw to 16,000 from the small blind. Action folded back to Berrehail, who called.

Shaw checked on the J♦5♠5♥ flop — prompting a 11,500 bet from Berrehail. Shaw then check-raised to 26,000 and Berrehail let his hand go after a bit of thought. Shawn peeked down at his hole cards one last time and collected the pot.
