Level 14 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Laurent Cessy raised from the cutoff and Niklas Astedt defended in the big blind.

The J♥K♥9♣ flop checked through to the A♥ turn and the 6♦ river.

Astedt took the lead for 10,000 and Cessy made a pained call. Astedt tabled A♠10♥ for top pair; good enough to send Cessy's cards into the muck.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

A player in middle position raised to 5,500, the hijack called and Jack Hardcastle three-bet to 18,000 from the cutoff. Renan Revinthis, in the small blind, put in a cold four-bet to 96,000, with just 13,000 behind the line. Both the hijack and cutoff folded, while Hardcastle put him all in for the rest. Revinthis called.

Renan Revinthis: A♠Q♠ All in
Jack Hardcastle: A♦K♦

Hardcastle was ahead but the Q♦ window card flipped their fates. The 10♥5♦ that followed behind gave Hardcastle a flush draw, however, the 7♣ turn and 9♣ river didn't oblige and Hardcastle was left short.
