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

Grzegorz Kozieja raised to 2,500 from middle position and Dmitry Zakharov three-bet to 9,500 from the hijack. When it folded back to Kozieja, he four-bet to 18,000. Zakharov burned through two of his time bank cards before making the call.

Kozieja led out for 4,000 on the 8♥J♠5♥ flop and Zakharov called.

The K♣ came on the turn and Kozieja checked. Zakharov shoved for 10,700 and Kozieja snap-called.

Dmitry Zakharov: A♠Q♥ All in
Grzegorz Kozieja: A♥K♥

Zakharov was in a lot of trouble against the top pair and flush draw of Kozieja. He needed to find a ten on the river that wasn't a heart to survive. However, the 4♥ came on the river to improve Kozieja to the nut flush and Zakharov was out.

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

Matthias Lipp kicked off the first hand with a raise to 2,700 from middle position, picking up three callers along the way.

The flop came down 9♠8♣2♣, and Ankit Ahuja, first to act in the big blind, led out with a 4,500 bet. Lipp folded, while Jelle Moene raised to 11,500, which only Saar Wilf called.

With two players left, the turn brought the 3♦. Moene kept up the pressure, betting 29,000, and Wilf called again.

Both checked the A♥ river, leading to a showdown. Moene showed J♠J♥, and it was enough for Wilf to quietly muck his hand.

In the very next hand, Moene opened the action with a raise to 2,500. Wilf called once again, along with Jeremie Zouari in the big blind.

The flop of 7♠9♣8♥ saw Zouari take the lead with a bet of 3,500, and Moene was the only one to call.

When the J♦ appeared on the turn, Zouari checked, but Moene wasn't backing down, firing a 12,000 bet. Zouari gave up the pot, and Moene scooped two solid pots in a row, steadily building his stack.
