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

Gary Mamou opened to 3,500 from early position. His only caller was Adrian Vinuela Garcia in the big blind.

Vinuela Garcia checked the 6♠4♣J♠ flop, before calling Mamou's 3,500 continuation-bet.

Both players checked the 3♠ turn and it went to the river.

It came the 9♥, which Vinuela Garcia checked. Mamou led out for 11,000, sending Vinuela Garcia into the tank. As The Spainaird eventually put in the 11,000, Mamou graciously said 'good call' and mucked his hand, with Vinuela Garcia scooping an important pot.

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

Three-way on a flop of 8♣7♦10♣, Jérôme Besselievre in the small blind, Kevin Quillere in the big blind and Mosjin El Yakoubi on the button checked.

After Besselievre checked again on the 8♦ turn, Quillere bet 3,500. El Yakoubi was the only one to call.

Finally, on the river 6♣, Quillere fired a second barrel of 8,000. El Yakoubi then moved all in for 70,000, putting Quillere into the tank. The French player eventually folded.

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

Ryoji Kusumoto opened to 3,000 from early position and was called by Dohyun Kim on the button.

Both players checked on the J♥10♦5♣ flop and Kusumoto bet 3,500 on the 3♣ turn. Kim raised to 9,000 and Kusumoto called.

It was checked down on the 4♣ river and Kusumoto tabled A♥J♠ for a pair of jacks. Kim couldn't beat it and mucked — conceding the pot to Kusumoto.

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

Peter Jobelius was all in for his last 12,500 before the flop, and it was Aurelien Russo looking for the knockout.

Peter Jobelius: A♣10♦
Aurelien Russo: 9♥9♣

It was the classic race, but the K♥9♦8♠ flop left Jobelius drawing slim as Russo made a set of nines. The 3♦ hit the turn, leaving Jobelius drawing dead, and the J♦ river was just a formality as he exited the table.

On a flop of A♦7♣8♣ Mykola Maliuta put out a bet of 3,500 and received calls from Mircea Rus and Tomas Hajek.

On the 4♠ turn Maliuta continued with the aggression, firing out a bet of 8,000. Both Rus and Hajek folded, sending Maliuta the pot.

The very next hand, Lyudmil Ivanov opened to 3,000, and was called by Vincent Guillon. Rus then three-bet to 10,500. Ivanov got out of the way, and Guillon moved all in for 22,500. Rus quickly made the call, putting Guillon at risk.

Vincent Guillon: Q♥J♠
Mircea Rus: K♠Q♣

Guillon was behind and the K♣8♦J♦4♥7♥ runout resulted in Rus winning the hand with a pair of kings.
