Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

After a raise to 8,000, Theo Degrave three-bet to 20,000 on the button. Oscar Mas then made it 55,000 to go in the small blind. The initial raiser folded before Degrave tossed in a call.

Mas took a few minutes before checking the 10♣Q♠6♠ flop, after which Degrave quickly followed. Mas checked again on the 2♦ turn, this time seeing a bet of 42,000 from his opponent.

Mas called to the K♠ river, where he checked for a third time. Degrave then shoved all in, covering the 155,000 of Mas. Mas went in the tank for several minutes before finally sticking in a call, putting himself at risk of becoming the bubble boy.

Once all the other tables had finished playing, Mas turned over K♥K♦ for a rivered set of kings, besting the set of queens of Degrave, who showed Q♥Q♣.

Mas doubled up to more than double the average stack, leaving Degrave with 20 big blinds.

Mark Teltscher opened from early position to 8,000 and the Day 1b chip leader Jeremie Zouari shoved for 34,000. Once it got back to Teltscher, he started talking with Zouari.

"You must have aces or kings, it's the bubble," remarked Teltscher.

"What do you want me to do?" Teltscher asked.

After some more table talk, Teltscher announced a fold and Zouari then showed A♠Q♠ as he raked in the pot.

"I'd have folded that. If you fold there you make the money," Teltscher finished with.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Piero Alioto had gotten his stack of 250,000 in preflop under the gun and had been looked up by Gabriel Cunha on the button, who had the covering stack. The cameras arrived and the cards were turned over.

Piero Alioto: J♥J♦ All in
Gabriel Cunha: A♠K♠

Alioto was flipping for his tournament life on the bubble. The 5♠7♦Q♠ flop brought Cunha a flush draw, but the 9♣ turn and 2♣ river helped him no further.

Alioto doubled up and hand-for-hand play continued.

Alexandre Raymond: A♠Q♠ All in
Carlos Jurado: 8♣5♦
