Naus Finds Lucky Double Up
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Sebastien Naus moved all in from under the gun for 10,500 and was called by Alfonso Simone in middle position. The rest of the table got out of the way and the cards were on their backs.
Sebastien Naus: Q♥J♥
Alfonso Simone: A♣Q♠
Naus was dominated by the ace-queen of Simone, but when the board ran out J♦9♣6♥8♠K♣, it was the flopped jack that scored the fortunate double up for Naus to stay alive.

Hannois Hits The Turn To Eliminate Mitran
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Baptiste Hannois limped in from early position and it folded to Marian Mitran in the small blind who moved all in for 3,900 total. The big blind quickly folded and Hannois tossed in chips for the call to put Mitran at risk.
Marian Mitran: Q♣10♦
Baptiste Hannois: 4♠4♣
The flop came 10♥9♠6♦ and the top pair for Mitran took a commanding lead. The turn however had other plans when the 4♥ rolled off to leave Mitran drawing dead. The inconsequential 3♦ hit the river and Mitran was sent to the rail.

Moreno Dodges The World To Eliminate Roman
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
In a heads-up pot with close to 16,000 in the middle on a flop showing 8♥7♣2♣, Jose Luis Criado Roman moved all in for 16,800 from the small blind and Fernando Jose Liano Moreno took a moment before tossing in chips for the call with a bigger stack.
Jose Luis Criado Roman: 10♣9♣
Fernando Jose Liano Moreno: A♣Q♠
Although Roman only had ten-high, he was statistically the favorite to win the hand with his open-ended straight draw, flush draw and live cards. The board ran out 2♥Q♠ and the many outs for Roman missed to send him to the rail.

State Gets Max Value On River In Multi-Way Pot
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Adrian State opened to 2,000 from middle position and Andreas Moser in the cutoff, Alexandru Boboc in the small blind and Jerome Zerbib in the big blind all made the call.
The flop fanned out J♥9♣3♠ and action checked to State who continued for 2,500, which Moser and Zerbib came along. On the K♣ turn Zerbib checked again and State kept up the aggression with a bet of 7,500, which only Moser called.
The 3♣ completed the board and State took a moment before sliding in 14,400, leaving only 1,000 behind and Moser went deep in the tank.
After close to a minute of thought, Moser tossed in the chips for a call and State tabled K♠Q♠ for top pair. Moser rechecked his cards and tossed them into the muck as the dealer sent State the sizable pot.
