Frank Visser

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

Wooram Cho's cards had already hit the muck when PokerNews arrived at the table, but the last of his chips went in the middle on the river on a board that read 6♣Q♦K♠2♥7♥. Adrian Mateos played 6♠6♦ and his flopped set won him a huge pot of over 600,000 chips.

Mateos shot up on the leaderboard as he became one of the top stacks in the field.

Kenjic Makes Another Wrong Decision

Frank Visser

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Jovan Kenjic and Dario Sammartino had created a 90,000 pot when the turn was dealt on J♦9♥2♠5♥. Kenjic checked from the big blind and eventually called the subsequent 18,000 bet from Sammartino on the button.

The J♣ river then completed the board and Kenjic opted for another check. Sammartino put his opponent all in without much delay, causing visible despair in Kenjic. Eventually, he folded his cards, keeping his stack of 26,000 chips.

On Parker Talbot's request, Kenjic was allowed to pick one card of Sammartino's holding, after which the 6♣ was revealed. Laughter ensued on the table while Kenjic claimed to have "picked every wrong option so far" with a grimace on his face.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

After a preflop raising war between Nicolas Vayssieres and Tamas Adamszki, an all-in situation was eventually reached where Vayssieres' stack of 229,000 was at risk.

Nicolas Vayssieres: A♠A♦
Tamas Adamszki: A♥K♠

The 4♠K♦6♦ flop brought some suspense, but further kings remained absent on the 3♣7♠ runout. The cooler saw Vayssieres' stack grow to over 160 big blinds, while Adamszki and start-of-day chipleader Selahaddin Bedir also maintain their positions among the top of the leaderboard.

Jeremy Geist

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Simone Andrian opened under the gun to 6,000 before getting called on the button by Tamas Adamszki and in the big blind by Jeremie Zouari.

The 6♣9♣5♥ flop was checked through and the 10♦ landed on the turn. Zouari opted to lead for 12,500 and only got called by Andrian.

The 2♠ landed on the turn and the Zouari led again for 22,000. Andrian snap called.

Andrian tabled K♠10♠ and Zouari shrugged and showed he was value betting with a worse hand as he tabled J♠10♣ for top pair with a worse kicker.

Andrian scooped the pot but Zouari still sits higher on the leaderboard.

On the flop J♠6♠A♠, Karrim bet 6,000, but only Ardic called.

Then on the turn K♠, Karrim checked. Ardic didn't wait to bet 17,500, producing a fold from Karrim.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Lewis Spencer and Natan Chauskin were heads up in a pot of 30,000 chips. With a flop of A♦J♠4♣ on the table, Spencer checked from middle position to Chauskin in the hijack. Chauskin made a bet of 18,500, which Spencer called.

Spencer then checked the subsequent 3♣ turn as well and Chauskin promptly jammed all in, covering Spencer's 55,000 remaining chips. Spencer swiftly folded, awarding the pot Chauskin.
