Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Ren Lin
Ren Lin

Ren Lin raised to 2,000 from the hijack and Konstantinos Ioannidis three-bet to 6,200 from the cutoff. After the rest of the table folded, Lin called.

Lin checked the 5♥10♦3♣ flop, Ioannidis bet 4,800 and Lin check-shoved for 26,600. Ioannidis snap-called to put Lin at risk.

Ren Lin: 6♠4♠ All in
Konstantinos Ioannidis: A♠A♥

Ioannidis was ahead with aces, but Lin had a straight draw. Lin received instant service on the 2♣ turn, giving him the nuts and leaving Ioannidis drawing dead as an inconsequential 8♣ came on the river.

Action was followed from the river with a board of J♠Q♣9♥Q♠5♥. Malcolm Franchi bet 25,000 on the flop from the big blind, into at pot of around 18,000. The action was on Niall Farrell to make the call for his remaining stack.

Farrell folded and was left with around 15,000 chips. He moved all in on the next hand against a middle position open and was called.

Niall Farrell: A♦9♦All in
Middle position: A♣K♠

Farrell didn't improve on the Q♦3♥7♣8♠4♥ board, and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Mounir Tajiou was in the big blind and checked on the K♥4♦3♠ flop before Valeriano Toledano dropped 1,500 across the line into the pot of 4,500. Tajiou made the call.

The 6♣ fell on the turn, and Tajiou check-called another bet of 5,500.

When the 9♠ completed the board, Tajiou checked for a final time. This time Valeriano checked-back. Tajiou rolled Q♦10♠ for queen-high before Valeriano rolled his J♥J♠ to take the pot.

Alvarez's Mood Goes From Delight to Dismay as Bastida Scoops Three-Way All In

A three-way all in pot played out between Cristian Alvarez, Nicola Spallanzani, and Juan Bastida with two of the players sharing the same hand.

Juan Bastida: A♠K♠ All in
Cristian Alvarez: Q♥Q♣ All in
Nicola Spallanzani: A♣K♦

It was a dream scenario for Alvarez, who only needed to win a flip to almost triple up. Spallanzani had the biggest stack, but it seemed unlikely that he could scoop the pot unless the board brought some surprises.

A flop of 3♠6♦J♠ was safe for Alvarez, but Bastida did pick up the nut flush draw. An A♦ on the turn sunk Alvarez as he was drawing to just one out, but left Bastida delighted as he was freerolling for the main pot. Bastida spiked his flush on the 6♠ river and thumped the table in celebration, as Alvarez was sent to the rail.

Gaspare Sposato opened for 2,000 and Hector Berry shoved for his last 17,000 out of the big blind. Sposato called to put Berry at risk.

Hector Berry: J♣J♠ All in
Gaspare Sposato: A♠10♦

Berry just had to fade an ace or running straight or flush cards to stay in the tournament. However, the flop of A♥10♣Q♠ propelled Sposato into the lead with top and bottom pair. The 4♦ turn and 10♠ river improved Sposato to a full house, sending Berry to the rail.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Vedat Mutlu opened 2,200 under the gun, and Jelle Moene three-bet to 5,500 from a couple of spots to his left. Jan Zeuschner was in the small blind and jammed for about 12,000 before Mutlu announced all in as well, and Moene called off his stack of 42,700.

Jan Zeuschner: K♠K♥ All in
Jelle Moene: A♠A♦ All in
Vedat Mutlu: Q♠Q♥

It was the ultimate preflop cooler, and the 8♣7♦7♠2♦2♥ runout meant Moene's aces were good, sending Zeuschner to the rail and doubing through Mutlu.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The cards were already face up and players were all in, with Walter Treccarichi at risk from the big blind against Lauri Saaskilahti in the cutoff.

Walter Treccarichi: Q♠Q♥All in
Lauri Saaskilahti: AxAx

The dealer placed the Q♣J♠6♠ flop and Saaskilahti shook his head, realizing Treccarichi was now in the lead with a set of queens.

Saaskilahti didn't recover on the K♠ turn or 3♦ river, and Treccarichi secured the double.

Both players checked the board of J♠10♥3♣4♠5♠ all the way down to the river and Astedt led out for 1,500. Julien folded and Astedt pulled in the small pot.

Camarda Goes Runner-Runner to Survive

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Naoki Yashiro raised, then Salvatore Camarda stuck his short stack of around 5,000 into the middle from the next seat. When it got back to Yashiro, he called.

Salvatore Camarda: A♦K♠ All in
Naoki Yashiro: 4♦4♠

Camarda had a good view of the flop and saw that Yashiro improved to a set before anybody else on the 4♥2♥Q♦ board, which prompted him to stand up and gather his belongings. A J♦ on the turn did give him some outs and he found one of them as the 10♣ completed his Broadway draw which kept him alive.
