Oliver Weis raised to 3,000 from the cutoff and Jon Kyte three-bet to 12,500 from the small blind. Weis fired back a four-bet to 22,000 and Kyte called to see a flop.

The flop was J♥5♥2♥ and Kyte check-called a 4,500 bet from Weis. The turn was 3♣.

Kyte checked again and called when Weis bet 14,500. The river fell 9♣ and Kyte checked again.

Weis shoved his last 61,000 and Kyte went into the tank for a few minutes before he called. Weis turned over A♥K♥ for the nut flush and Kyte flashed the before he tossed it into the muck.

Nistche Busts his Second

Frank Visser

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Aviv Meiri opened from under the gun and Dominik Nitsche went all in for his last 6,000 chips. Meiri made the call and the cards were tabled.

Dominik Nitsche: A♦Q♦
Aviv Meiri: A♠A♥

It was looking grim for Nitsche's last four big blinds and the board sealed his fate on the turn, with 8♣9♥8♠5♣ and the meaningless J♦ being put in the middle of the table.

Nistche immediately reentered for the second time.

Fortuna fired another 5,000 and Demlakian called. The river was 3♣.

Duta Doubles in House-Over-House Situation

Frank Visser

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

A completed board of 2♦3♣2♠8♥6♠ was already spread on Table 3. There were 37,000 chips in the middle and Florian Duta made a slight overbet of 40,000. Jean-Pierre Boulad was in the hijack and tanked for a while before announcing ''all in''.

Duta snap called the 29,000 chips he had left himself behind and tabled 8♠8♣ for the best possible full house. ''That's why I tanked,'' Boulad explained, as he showed his 6♦6♣ for the second-best full house.

The table was in awe of this big cooler, creating two stacks over 100 big blinds at the table.
