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

Maria Ho shoved for 19,000 from under the gun. Action folded around to Felix Weis, who contemplated his options for about a minute before saying "good luck" to his opponent and making the call with a covering stack.

Maria Ho: A♦10♠ All in
Felix Weis: 8♣7♣

Weis took the lead with top pair on the 7♦3♣4♥ flop and remained ahead when the rest of the board ran out 9♦J♦ to send Ho to the rail.

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

With almost 15,000 chips in the pot on a board of 8♦4♥J♦, Mathieu Goncalves checked and Boris Kuzmanovic bet 8,000. Goncalves then check-raised to 17,000, which Kuzmanovic called.

Both checked the 2♥ turn to see the 5♦ river. Goncalves bet 14,500 and Kuzmanovic put in the raise to around 45,000. Goncalves snap-folded.

Tan Hits the Rail After Brutal Cooler

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

Xiaohui Tan, who enjoyed the chip lead for most of the day and had over 300,000 at dinner break was recently sent to the rail.

According to her former tablemates, Tan and Davide Schianchi exchanged raises back and forth until Schianchi was all in preflop for a bit under 300,000. Tan, who had him covered, called off with pocket kings and was up against ace-king. An ace on the flop and another on the turn left Tan drawing dead and Schianchi dragged in the biggest pot of the tournament so far while Tan was left short-stacked and busted shortly afterwards.

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

With roughly 34,000 in the pot, the flop showed 10♠K♦3♦. Naim Amri bet 12,000 from the button and Eric Sfez called from the hijack.

Both players checked the 9♠ turn for the Q♠ to come on the river. Sfez led out for 21,000 and after a few moments of thinking, Amri called.

Sfez tabled K♣Q♦ for a rivered top two pair which was good as Amri showed A♦A♣ for a pair of aces.

Eric Sfez	380,000 198,500	198,500
