Tyler Foran

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

Thomas Eychenne opened 5,500 on the button, and both Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi and Alejandro Lococo came along from the blinds.

All three players checked to the 10♠8♥4♥7♣ turn, where Ohulchanskyi led for 12,000. Both Lococo and Eychenne made the call.

The 10♣ paired the board on the river, and Ohulchanskyi continued for 34,000. Lococo got out of the way, but Eychenne matched the bet.

Ohulchanskyi tabled K♦9♦ for king-high, and Eychenne rolled 10♥9♠ for trip tens to earn the pot.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Mykhailo Demydenko was all in for 75,000 from middle position and up against Sirzat Hissou in the hijack.

Mykahilo Demydenko: A♠Q♥ All in
Sirzat Hissou: K♠Q♣

Demydenko had Hissou dominated until the flop brought K♦10♠2♣ to give HIssou the lead. The turn was the 7♥, while the J♦ fell on the river to give Demydenko a straight and a double up.

At the same time at another table, Mihai Niste moved all in for 68,000 in the small blind and Benjamin Pollak snap-called under the gun.

Mihai Niste: A♠Q♠ All in
Benjamin Pollak: Q♦Q♣

Niste had run into Pollak's queens as the 2♦5♠4♥ flop gave him outs to a straight. The J♠ fell on the turn to also give him a flush draw, while the 3♠ river completed both draws and earned Niste a double up.

"Can somebody call the floor, please? I think he's cheating," tablemate Alejandro Lococo joked after the hand.
