The pot stood at 12,400 with two players navigating a flop of 3♣3♠10♣.

Christian Steindel, in the small blind, bet out 3,000. Eros Calderone, who was under the gun, clicked it back to 6,000, leaving himself 1,000 behind the line. Steindel put him all in for the rest and Calderone called.

Eros Calderone: A♣5♣ All in
Christian Steindel: 9♣9♥

Calderone was behind but had flush outs to go with his overcard. The K♠ turn changed nothing, while the A♠ river propelled him into the lead, doubling him up.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

The pot stood at 23,300 with two players looking at a board of 6♠A♥8♦5♥.

Dimitrios Gkatzas, in the big blind, checked the action to Samuel Fournier, in the hijack. Fournier bet out 10,000 and Gkatzas went deep into the tank. Gkatzas thought for some time before putting Fourneir all in for his effective stack of 26,500. Fourneir snap-called.

Samuel Fournier: A♦6♦ All in
Dimitrios Gkatzas: A♠6♣

Both players were seemingly surprised they shared the same holding. The 2♥ river confirmed the pot was to be chopped.
