Yevhenii Kuzmin bet 4,500 from middle position on a flop of 9♣6♥5♣ and Justin Saliba called in the small blind. Youness Ait Hssain then raised to 17,000 in the big blind, Kuzmin moved all in for 84,000, and Saliba also shoved for 70,000. Hssain snap-called to put both players at risk and create a pot with nearly 250,000 in the middle.

"This is a big one," a tablemate said as the three players revealed their cards.

Justin Saliba: 6♦6♠ All in
Yevhenii Kuzmin: A♣K♣ All in
Youness Ait Hssain: 8♥7♣

Kuzmin had the nut flush draw, Saliba showed down a set, but they were both trailing Hssain's flopped straight as the turn came the K♠. The river was the 4♣ and Kuzmin completed his flush to scoop the massive pot, doubling up off Hssain while sending Saliba to the rail.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Steven Watts raised to 2,600 from under the gun and picked up a call before Manuel Goncalves three-bet to 10,700 from the button, which Watts called.

The flop came 7♠J♣5♠ and Watts checked. Goncalves bet 30,000 and Watts check-raised all in for 52,000. Goncalves called and players flipped their cards.

Watts had J♥J♠ for a set of jacks and Goncalves flipped over 10♠8♠ for a flush draw and gutshot straight draw.

The turn came the 3♥ and river the 6♣. Watts held to win the pot and double his stack.

Marcelo Manfredini had a raise of 27,500 in front of him from under the gun as action went on Carlos Serrano in the big blind who announced all in. Manfredini tanked for a minute before calling for his last 45,000.

Marcelo Manfredini: 5♦2♦ All in
Carlos Serrano: A♦A♠

"Spicy," tablemate Arne Coulier said once the cards were revealed. The flop came Q♣10♣3♠, while the A♥ turn improved Serrano to top set and gave Manfredini outs to a straight. The river was the 9♠ and Manfredini was sent to the rail.

"Cooler," Serrano joked.

"I guess he was tired. At least he got a sweat. I was rooting for the sweat," Coulier added.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A bit over 8,000 was in the pot on a flop of J♥4♠3♣ when Christian Sare checked in the big blind to Joao Astra who bet 3,200 from middle position.

Georgios Karakousis was next to act on the button and he raised to 20,700, leaving himself about 3,500 behind.

Sare quickly folded but Astra went into the tank for a bit. Eventually, he moved all in covering Karakousis, who called off the rest to put himself at risk.

Georgios Karakousis: Q♥J♠All in
Joao Astra: J♦9♦

Karakousis was ahead with the better kicker to go with the jacks, and after the board completed 2♦K♥, he had earned a double-up through his Brazillian counterpart.

Shakhabiddin Muradov raised to 2,500 from under the gun, Maria Ho called, and both the small and big blinds came along.

The flop came 2♦J♠J♥ and action checked to Muradov, who bet 3,500. Ho was the only player who called. The turn was the 9♥ and Muradov bet 8,500, which Ho called.

On the 8♠ river, Muradov had an anguished look on his face as he held his head in his hands, eventually firing out a bet of 20,000. Ho moved all in for 32,000 and Muradov got the count before making the call.

Ho showed 9♦9♠ for a turned full house and Muradov reluctantly tabled 6♦6♠ for two pair, sixes with the jacks on board. Ho won the pot and doubled up her stack.

Lucien Cohen led out for 6,500 from the big blind on a board of 6♣Q♥10♠2♠ and Ryan Mandara called in the cutoff.

The river was the 4♦ and Cohen bet another 20,000. Mandara then splashed in a pile of blue 5,000 chips to put Cohen all in for his last 15,000, and Cohen snap-folded as he began muttering to himself while Mandara raked in the pot.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Following an open to 2,500 by Fiodor Martino in middle position, Vilius Augutis three-bet up to 7,400 from his immediate left. The raising still wasn't done though as Adria Guitart four-bet to 15,700 from the cutoff.

Martino folded, but Augutis called to see the Q♥2♥2♦ flop. Augutis then checked and faced a bet of 8,500 from Guitart.

Augutis thought briefly, but then folded to send the sizeable pot to Guitart who is building one of the bigger stacks in the room.
