Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Ivan Bryksin raised to 4,000 from under the gun and Jose Fuentes-Menchon, in the cutoff, clicked it back to 8,000. Bryksin voiced his concern to Fuentes-Menchon but proceeded to call anyway.

The K♥8♥4♣ flop saw Bryksin check and then fold to a bet of 8,000 from Fuentes-Menchon. Bryksin mucked 7♣7♥ face up.

As Fuentes-Menchon raked in the pot he flashed Q♣Q♥ to the table, proving he had Bryksin beat.

Silvio De Petrillo raised to 5,000 from the hijack, Nejat Teoman Erman three-bet jammed from the cutoff and Alexandru Anuta cold-called from the small blind. De Petrillo also made the call.

The 9♠8♠3♦ flop saw Anuta check and then fold as De Petrillo moved all in.

Nejat Teoman Erman: 10♣10♠ All in
Silvio De Petrillo: K♠9♥
