Luca Pontiroli open raised to 400, Vahid Moghaddam called, and Mengshi Tian three-bet to 1,800 from the button. Both Pontiroli and Moghaddam called.

The flop came J♣2♦10♦. Action checked to Tian, who continued for 1,100. Pontiroli called and Moghaddam folded. The turn was the A♦. Pontiroli checked and Tian bet 3,100, which Pontiroli called.

The river came the K♣ and both players checked to showdown. Tian showed 10♣10♠ for a set of tens. Pontiroli turned over Q♠J♠. He'd made a pair of jacks on the flop and completed his straight on the river to win the pot.

Khatri Cracks Aces

Ollie Garland

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

The pot stood at approximately 6,000 with two players looking at a board that read Q♥9♠J♣.

Kamil Skawinski, in the small blind, check-called a bet of 1,100 from Bhavin Khatri, on the button.

The 3♦ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Khatri sized up to 5,500.

The J♠ river saw Skawinski check again. Khatri moved all in for 19,500 and Skawinski made a reluctant call.

Bhavin Khatri: K♦10♥
Kamil Skawinski: A♦A♣

Khatri's flopped straight was good enough to crack the aces of Skawinski and he doubled up.
