Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Adi Rajkovic opened to 6,000 from the hijack and was called by Nina Krasilnikova in the small blind and Christos Christou in the big blind for a three-way pot.

It was checked to Rajkovic, who continued for 6,000 on the 3♥6♣Q♥ flop. Only Krasilnikova called.

Both players then checked down on the 2♣ turn and K♠ river and Krasilnikova tabled 9♦6♦ for a pair of sixes. Rajkovic couldn't beat it and mucked — awarding the pot to Krasilnikova.

The turn was the 4♠ and Haoyenan checked. Skarparis sized up to 26,000, which proved too much for Haoyenan. He folded and Skarparis took the pot.

The 4♠J♦ runout kept Gadzhiev ahead with a pair of kings and he doubled up.
