Matt Warburton

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Marc Chazal-Martin and Valentin Oberhauser were caught up in a preflop raising battle, with Oberhauser firing out a reraise of 13,000 before Chazal-Martin moved all in. Oberhauser called with the shorter stack and players flipped their cards.

Valentin Oberhauser: A♦9♥
Marc Chazal-Martin: A♥A♠

The board ran out K♦9♦8♣10♣J♣. Chazal-Martin held with his pocket aces to win the pot and near-double his stack. Oberhauser was sent to the exit early.

"Congratulations, happy birthday!", said a neutral player as Chazal-Martin scooped over the chips.

Jean Autran raised to 1,000 from early position and Vahe Ter-Khachatryan called from the cutoff. Reouven Attias then jammed all in for 10,400 from the small blind, leaving the action on David Einbinder in the big blind.

Einbinder rejammed for 25,000 chips, which forced the other two players out of the pot and created a heads up showdown.

Reouven Attias: A♠10♠
David Einbinder: 10♥10♦

Attias turned some extra outs on 2♦6♣J♣Q♣, but the 2♣ river bricked out and saw him depart early from the Eureka High Roller.

Igor Zolotukhin checked from the hijack on a flop of J♦Q♥A♠ and called a subsequent bet from Marcello Miniucchi on the button.

The pot had grown to 7,500 chips when the 2♣ turn hit the felt. Zolotukhin checked again, leading to Miniucchi betting 4,000. Another call followed from Zolotukhin before the 10♥ river completed the board.

Zolotukhin thought it over for a bit before checking. Miniucchi completed his triple barrel with a bet of 10,000 and a quick call followed from Zolotukhin.

Miniucchi showed K♥10♣ for Broadway and Zolotukhin's cards swiftly hit the muck.
