Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Ethem Subasi and Alexandre Moreau were in a blind versus blind battle on a flop of 7♣K♣K♥ when Moreau bet 5,000. Subasi then moved all in for 70,000 and Moreau snap-called.

Ethem Subasi: K♦8♠
Alexandre Moreau: A♥K♣

Subasi had flopped trip kings, but he was behind Moreau's ace-kicker. The 3♥ turn was no help, while the A♣ river improved Moreau to a full house and sent Subasi to the rail.

Nicola Pezzullo was out of position in a heads-up pot against Ivan Chetin on a board of 5♥Q♥10♠2♥.

Pezzullo checked on the turn and Chetin bet 16,000. Pezzullo check-jammed and Chetin quickly called off with a stack of 72,000.

Ivan Chetin: A♥Q♦
Nicola Pezzullo: 8♥7♥

Pezzullo was in front with a flush, but Chetin had the ace of hearts to be drawing to a bigger flush. He hit is as the J♥ landed on the river and Pezzullo let out a sigh as he counted out the chips he owed Chetin.

Justinas Jachimavicius: A♥Q♦
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: 3♣3♥

Jachimavicius needed to improve his ace-high as the 6♣ fell on the turn. The 2♣ came on the river and Skhulukhiya improved to a straight to send Jachimavicius to the rail and his stack past 500,000.

Moreau bet 18,000 on the turn and Maska moved all in for 58,500. Moreau gave it some thought before folding to hold onto a bigger stack.

Maska gave a look of relief as he turned over A♣A♠ and took down the pot.

"Just one pair?" commented someone at the table.

"If he snaps, tournament is over," agreed Maska.

Andre Marques raised to 8,000 in middle position before Alex Keating three-bet to 23,500 in the hijack. Anthony Kennedy then made it 62,000 in the small blind and Marques tanked for a moment before folding.

Keating also tanked before gathering up his last 110,000 and sliding them into the middle. Kennedy snap-called.

Alex Keating: Q♠Q♥
Anthony Kennedy: A♠A♣

"Why didn't you shove. I would've folded," Keating joked with Marques as the flop came A♥5♠6♦, giving Kennedy top set. The board ran out K♣A♦ and Kennedy finished with quads to send Keating to the rail.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Abdullah Turan and Zaid Noori got into a pre-flop raising war that ended with Turan five-bet shoving for 195,000 and Noori calling to put him at risk in a 400,000 chip pot.

Abdullah Turan: K♥K♣
Zaid Noori: A♣K♠

Turan stood up from his seat to await the flop, which came 2♥4♣J♣. Noori didn't find any help, and the 3♣ turn and 8♠ also didn't improve him as Turan let out a fist pump after earning the massive double up a few spots off the money bubble.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

A few hands after losing the massive pot to Abdullah Turan, Zaid Noori was in the small blind and called a pre-flop shove of around 65,000 from Nicola Pezzullo in the hijack.

Nicola Pezzullo: 9♦9♥
Zaid Noori: Q♦Q♥

Noori had picked up another strong hand, but this time he was ahead with his queens and Pezzullo needed help. None arrived on the J♦3♥6♦Q♥5♥ board as Noori turned a set to win the pot and send Pezzullo out just ten spots off the money.
