Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Fabio Romeo, Alexis Savvides, and Justinas Jachimavicius went three-handed to a flop of A♥10♦8♣ where Savvides bet 12,000 from middle position.

Jachimavicius called under the gun and the dealer went to expose the turn card before being reminded Romeo had yet to act. Romeo also called the bet and the J♣ was finally revealed.

Romeo then moved all in and Savvides, with around 60,000 remaining, tanked for about a minute before folding. Jachimavicius had around the same amount in his stack and also gave the decision some thought before joining Savvides in the muck.

Conor Beresford is also seated at this table.

Fabio Romeo	160,000 45,000	45,000

Heads-up on a board of 4♠J♠K♦10♦, Rachid El Yaacoubi bet 8,500 from middle position before Mihai Niste raised to 22,000 on the button.

El Yaacoubi called to see the A♣ river and checked. Niste checked back and El Yaacoubi turned over 4♥4♦ for a flopped set.

Niste flashed K♥J♥ for two pair on the flop as he surrendered what could've been a much larger pot.
