The action was picked up on a flop of 10♠J♠2♣ with around 5,000 in the pot. Biao Ding bet 1,500 from late position and Archibald Seaton check-raised to 3,200 from the big blind. Ding thought briefly before making the call.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Gregoire Auzoux started the action in the cutoff with a raise to 2,200, and Ray Qartomy made the call from the button. Tarmo Tammel in the small blind wasn't ready to back down and three-bet to 9,500. Auzoux was the only caller.

The flop came 6♦6♥A♦ and Tammel led out with a bet of 4,500, which Auzoux called. Both players opted to check on the A♣ turn, keeping things steady.

When the Q♣ river landed, Tammel took some time, burning a time bank card before deciding to shove all in. Auzoux quickly folded.

As the hand concluded, Qartomy claimed he had folded Ax6x, lamenting that he would have flopped a full house if he had stayed in the hand.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With roughly 7,000 in the middle on a flop of A♠6♥6♠, Aleksejs Ponakovs was seated in early position and check-called a bet of 2,500 from Shankui Li.

Ponakovs checked the 3♥ turn, and Li bet 6,500. Ponakovs check-raised to 18,000, which Li called.

Ponakovs bet 70,000 when the 7♦ fell on the river. Li only had 71,000 in his stack and after going through two of his time bank cards, made the call.

Ponakovs turned over K♦6♦ for trip sixes on the flop, but he was behind to the rivered straight of Li with 5♥4♥.

Aliaksei Boika opened the action from early position with a raise to 2,500, which prompted Tarmo Tammel on the button to respond with a three-bet to 7,000 which Boika called.

The flop came A♣10♠J♦, and Boika, first to act, checked. Tammel followed with a bet of 3,500, and Boika made the call.

Both players checked the 6♣ turn.

On the 10♥ river, Boika led out with a bet of 7,000, which Tammel called. Time for a showdown: Boika revealed A♠K♣, and Tammel flipped over A♦K♠, leading to a split pot as both players held the same hand.
