Action was picked up four ways to a 8♠7♦5♣ flop with around 8,000 in the middle.
The action checked to Pedro Gines in the cutoff who bet 1,800. In the small blind, Tomas Bassus jammed for 11,100 and it quickly folded back to Gines who went deep into the tank. After over two minutes of thinking, Gines flicked in a chip to call and the cards were revealed.
Tomas Bassus: J♦9♦
Pedro Gines: A♥8♥
Gines was in good shape with top-top against the gutshot and over of Bassus, and it stayed that way as the board ran out 4♠3♠ as Bassus hit the rail.
Marius Lussi opened from middle position to 1,700. Tibor Karpati three-bet to 4,200 from the button. After the blinds folded Lussi made the call.
On the 9♥J♥A♠ flop, Lussi led out for 3,200 with roughly 35,000 behind. Karpati didn't take long before he raised enough to put Lussi all in. Lussi thought for a few moments and then reluctantly folded.
