Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Parker Talbot opened to 4,000 from middle position and was called by Sardor Shagulyamov in the cutoff, Samuel Fournier on the button, and Elie Saade in the big blind for a four-way pot.

Saade checked to Talbot, who bet 2,000 on the J♥6♥K♣ flop. Shagulyamov called, Fournier folded, and Saade called.

The 2♠ fell on the turn and it was again checked to Talbot, who sized up for a bet of 18,500. This time Shagulyamov and Saad both folded and Talbot took down the pot.

"Pick one," Talbot said.

"I like two or zero," Shagulyamov replied.

"Zero then!" Talbot said as he collected the pot. "You've gotta live with a little suspense."

A full board of 10♠J♥9♠6♥J♣ was showing with 35,000 in the main pot and 22,000 in the side pot. Bogdan Munteanu was already all-in for the main pot, with action still ongoing between Vitalii Viunchenko and Atilla Saracoglu.

Viunchenko had fired 27,000 on the river, and after a long time in the tank, Saracoglu flicked in the call.

Viunchenko showed a missed flush draw with A♠5♠, and Saracoglu had the winner with A♥10♥ for a pair of tens. Munteanu then flipped K♥K♦ for an overpair to the board to claim the main pot.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Cards were on their backs and stacks were in the middle, with Ivan Banic all-in and at risk versus Dogan Dinler.

Ivan Banic: 10♥8♥ All in
Dogan Dinler: A♣7♣

Banic needed some help, and the J♣8♣6♦ flop had something for everyone, Banic going ahead with a pair of eights, but Dinler still holding plenty of outs with his flush draw and overcard.

The A♥ rolled off on the turn to put Dinler in front, and the 2♦ river was a brick, confirming Banic's exit.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Patrick Clarke raised to 4,000 from under the gun, Silvio De Petrillo called, Monika Zukowicz called on the button and Iurii Saiapin called in the small blind.

The flop came 4♦5♦2♦ and action checked to De Petrillo, who made it 2,500 to go. Zukowicz called and so did Saiapin.

The turn was the 9♣ and this time, play checked to Zukowicz, who fired out a bet of 10,000, which only Saiapin called.

The river came the J♦ and Saiapin led out for 10,000. Zukowicz moved all in for around 30,000 and Saiapin quickly called. Zukowicz showed K♦7♦ for a flopped flush, but Saiapin had A♦8♣ for a higher flush that he'd completed on the river.

Saiapin chipped up to around 170,000 and Zukowicz was eliminated.

Bogdan Tapu opened to 8,500 from middle position, and was faced with a three-bet to 25,000 by Lily Kiletto a couple of seats along. Action folded back to Tapu, who quickly moved all in for 50,000, with Kiletto making the snap-call.

Bogdan Tapu: J♣J♦ All in
Lily Kiletto: A♦K♣

Tapu was ahead in a race, and remained so after Kiletto whiffed the Q♣7♠3♦6♣4♥ runout.

"Got to win those flips" lamented Kiletto as Tapu raked in the pot.

Dan O'Hair

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Aleksandr Kirichenko opened to 4,000 first to act and just behind him, Ion-Silviu Scobai shoved for his last 14,000. Just behind him, Kamil Dobosz made it 24,000 to go, which got a fold from everyone, including Kirichenko.

Ion-Silviu Scobai: 9♣9♠ All in
Kamil Dobosz: A♣K♣

The board ran out J♥J♣3♥2♦9♦ — leaving Scobai best with a full house to award him the double up.
