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

George Meitanies started things off strong from early position, raising to 2,500. Grzegorz Kozieja, sitting in the big blind, decided to call.

The flop came down 10♦3♣8♦, and both players checked it through.

When the 7♠ hit the turn, Kozieja took the initiative with a bet of 1,700, which Meitanies called.

They both checked again on the 5♣ river, leading to a showdown. Kozieja revealed 7♥6♦ for a pair of sevens, enough to take the pot as Meitanies tossed his cards into the muck.

In the very next hand, Meitanies once again opened from under the gun, raising to 2,500. This time, Kozieja wasn't playing around and went all in for his last 19,000. Without hesitation, Meitanies snap-called.

Kozieja turned over A♣K♥, while Meitanies showed 6♠6♥, slightly ahead in the race.

The dealer revealed K♠K♣9♥ on the flop, flipping the script entirely. Meitanies must have been hoping for another six, but the 5♠ turn didn't help and the river brought the A♠, giving Kozieja a full house and allowing him to double up.

Grzegorz Kozieja	40,000

Del Pino had it beat with his K♥7♥ for a pair of sevens and he collected the pot.

Rosalie Petit set the stage with a raise to 2,500. In the small blind, Dinesh Alt decided to go all in for his last 2,000, while Halil Gungor, sitting in the big blind, called Petit’s raise without hesitation.

As the flop came down 2♥K♦Q♥, all players checked, keeping the tension alive.

When the 6♦ appeared on the turn, Gungor took the initiative, betting 4,500. Petit thought twice and ultimately decided to fold, opting not to put her fiancée, Alt, in a tough spot.

At showdown, Alt revealed A♠J♣, while Gungor showed K♠9♥. Alt was hoping for a saving card on the river, but when the Q♦ hit, it wasn't enough, sending him to the cash desk for a reentry.

"At least it wasn't me!" exclaimed his fiancée.

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

Silvia Peternell opened to 2,400 from early position and was called by Boris Tabiyev on the button and Jorge Ufano Pardo in the big blind.

Action checked through on the 5♣J♣J♠ flop and then Pardo led out for 4,300 on the 7♠ turn. Peternell quickly raised to 10,000, which got a fold from Tabiyev, as well as a fold from Pardo after a lengthy tank to send the pot Peternell's way.
