With two players seeing a board of Q♥K♣K♠4♣ and roughly 60,000 in the middle Jorge Elhombre checked from the big blind and Laurence Stein moved all in from under the gun, covering Elhombre who had about 25,000 behind. Elhombre made the call and was at risk.

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

A full board of A♦2♠3♣8♥Q♣ was on the table with around 45,000 chips in the middle when Joan Perez shoved his stack into the pot. Yurii Zabrodotskyi had over 40,000 chips remaining and needed to put them all into the middle if he wanted to see the hole cards of his opponent. Zabrodotskyi kept probing Perez with questions but the Spaniard remained unphased and didn't give off any reaction. Eventually, Zabrodotskyi decided to fold, and Perez scooped in the pot which brought his stack to around 100,000 chips.

Joan Perez	100,000 50,000	50,000

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

With two players seeing a board of 10♣3♦4♦7♣ and about 20,000 in the middle, Corine Shi checked from early position and Harcharan Dogra moved all in, covering Shi who had 41,000 behind. Shi made the call and was at risk.

Corine Shi: 7♠7♥ All in
Harcharan Dogra: 9♣9♥

Shi was a huge favorite after turning a set leaving Dogra drawing to just two outs. The J♣ river was a brick and Shi collected a massive double up at Dogra's expense.

Corine Shi	105,000 73,000	73,000
Harcharan Dogra	28,000 64,000	64,000

With around 20,000 chips in the pot on a flop of K♠7♠7♦, Meddi Ferrah bet 8,000, and Joan Perez called.

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

There were around 60,000 chips in the pot on a board of A♣4♥2♣A♥K♦ when Ignacio Sanchez shoved the river for around 17,000, and Diogo Da Silva made a quick call.

Sanchez sheepishly flipped 5♦5♠ for a pair of fives, which was way behind the A♦10♥ of Da Silva, who had turned trips.
