Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Leo Margets had taken the seat of the eliminated Carl Shaw and opened to 900 from the hijack. Andrea Salamone three-bet to 2,700 from the cutoff, which folded out the button and the blinds. Margets called.

The K♦J♦4♥ flop checked through to the 5♠ turn. Margets check-called for 2,000 and then did the same for 3,200 on the Q♦ river.

Salamone tabled K♥10♣ for a pair of kings. Margets mucked her hand and dropped below the starting stack.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Sven Stok opened to 800 from early position and was called by Carlos Garcia from the small blind. Nicolas Delaplace three-bet to 2,600 from the big blind. Stok responded by making it 8,500. Garcia folded ahead of Delaplace calling.

Delaplace led into the aggressor on the Q♦J♣8♠ flop, wagering 6,500. Stok thought briefly before moving all in for around 40,000. Delaplace went into the tank but committed the 25,000 more he had behind.

Nicolas Delaplace: A♣Q♥ All in
Sven Stok: A♠A♦

Stok had aces and was ahead of Delaplace's top pair. The J♦ turn and 9♥ river confirmed the latter's exit and Stok took in the sizable pot.
