Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Heads-up on a flop of 5♣8♠A♦, Elie Sakr bet 1,500 from middle position and Alexander Ivanov called in early position.
The turn came the 10♥ and Sakr continued for 3,000. Ivanov quickly called to the K♦ river, where he faced another bet of 5,000 from Sakr.
Ivanov took his time before flicking in a chip as Sakr turned over A♠5♠ for two pair to win the pot.
Ian Hamilton, 2022 EPT London champion, is also at this table, while Seref Durusn Anar is riding a short stack.

Andrii Zaika opened from under the gun and [Removed:511] three-bet from the next seat as Nicolaou Sakis cold-called next to him. Zaika four-bet to 10,000 and Zarbo five-bet jammed to send Sakis deep into the tank.
Zaika called the clock to bring a call from Sakis and Zaika then snap-jammed all in as Sakis called off for the rest of his stack.
Nicolaou Sakis: A♦K♥
[Removed:511]: Q♠Q♦
Andrii Zaika: K♠K♦
Zaika's kings were able to hold for a double knockout as the board ran out 7♠9♣J♥5♣10♦ to earn him one of the biggest pots of the day so far.

Three-handed on a flop of A♥2♥9♣, Mario Menicanin bet 4,000 from early position and Emile Baroudi called before Fredrico Senno raised to 10,000 in the small blind.
Menicanin called, while Baroudi got out of the way leaving them heads-up to the J♦ turn. Both players checked and Senno then led out for 9,500 on the 10♠ river.
Menicanin quickly called and Senno showed A♦4♦. Menicanin, though, turned over A♣K♣ to win the pot with his king-kicker.
"Made it cheap for you," Senno told him.
"Yeah, really cheap," Menicanin replied as he dragged in the big pot.

At Dominik Panka's table, Ludovic Periaux under the gun raised to 1,100, then saw Kemal Aslan in the hijack 3-bet to 3,500.
