Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Vasileios Chatzilazarou raised to 5,000 from early position and Willem De Troyer three-bet to 21,000 from the small blind, which Chatzilazarou called.

The flop came Q♦6♥Q♠, De Troyer continued for 11,000 and Chatzilazarou called. The turn was the K♥. De Troyer switched to a check and Chatzilazarou made it 15,000 to go, which De Troyer called.

The river came the K♠ and both players checked to showdown. De Troyer flipped A♦K♣ for a full house, kings full of queens to win the pot.

"I'm running hot," shrugged De Troyer as he chipped up to around 230,000.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Axel Hallay raised to 5,000 from under the gun. Franco Polidori tried to call on the button, but accidentally threw in two T-5,000 chips, which was ruled as a raise to 7,500.

Govert Metaal then slammed in enough chips from the small blind to put both players at risk, and two quick folds followed.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Sebestyen Csoti raised from under the gun and Sebastian Kotowicz three-bet to 17,000 from the small blind. Csoti made the call and a flop of 10♠10♣3♣ was dealt.

Kotowicz continued for 17,000 chips, which Csoti called. The 6♦ turn was then checked through before the J♣ river completed the board.

Kotowicz checked for a second time, after which Csoti counted his chips before putting in an all-in bet of 93,000.

Kotowicz spent some minutes in the tank before settling on a fold, and the chips were sent his opponent's way.
