Tim Baker

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

George-Mircea Tomescu raised to 5,500 from middle position and Vladislav Dubanov three-bet to 17,500 from the button. After the blinds folded, Tomescu called.

Tomescu check-called a bet of 13,000 from Dubanov on the 7♦9♠7♥ flop.

The turn came the K♥ and Tomescu check-called another bet from Dubanov, this time for 33,500.

After Tomescu checked the J♣ river, Dubanov shoved for Tomescu's remaining 90,000. Tomescu burned through five time-bank cards before making the call.

Dubanov turned over Q♠10♠ for a backdoor straight which won him the pot and eliminated Tomescu, who had Q♥J♥ for a pair of jacks.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Three-way to a flop of 10♣8♥3♦, the action checked to Nazar Buhaiov on the button. He bet 17,000 into a pot of 55,000 and was check-called by Nicolas Chouity in the small blind and Daniel Myers under the gun.

Chouity checked again on the 6♥ turn before Myers led out for 28,000. Both Buhaoiv and Chouity called to the K♦ turn, which was checked around.

Chouity tabled 9♥9♣ for a pair of nines but was outclassed by the J♣J♦ of Myers. Buhaiov added his cards to the muck in defeat as the gigantic pot was shipped to Myers.

On the Q♥9♠5♠ flop, Ding check-called versus a bet of 3,000 from Zouari. The 6♦ turn was checked through.

In a battle of the blinds, there were already around 15,000 in the pot when Yahor Dambrouski fired 5,500 on the 5♣A♠9♥ flop, which Aleksei Gortikov called.

A J♦ dropped on the turn and Dambrouski announced a bet of 17,500, then squeezed the chips into the pot. Gortikov called.

The 7♣ landed on the river and both players opted to check it down. Dambrouski showed 8♥7♥ for a pair of sevens, but Gortikov had the winner with 10♦9♠ for a pair of nines.

Action folded to Matthias Lipp on the button, who opened to 5,500, receiving calls from Santhosh Suvarna and Fabian Niederreiter in the blinds.

On the K♠5♣2♣ flop, action was checked to Lipp, who fired out a bet of 3,000. Suvarna called, before Niederreiter produced a check-raise to 12,000. Lipp got out of the way, but Suvarna called.

The 9♠ turn was checked through. On the J♣ river, Suvarna quickly check-folded versus a bet of 46,000 from Niederreiter.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Ognyan Dimov opened the hijack and Santiago Nadal three-bet the button to 14,000. When it got back to Dimov, he shoved for around 36,000, and Nadal called.

Ognyan Dimov: J♠J♣ All in
Santiago Nadal: A♦10♦

Nadal didn't seem like he wanted to call, but must have felt priced in after making the three-bet. Dimov's jacks had no problem holding up as he turned a straight on the Q♥8♠10♠9♣6♣ runout, which earned him a double-up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ognyan Dimov	80,000 25,000	25,000

Jiaming Zhao: A♠10♥ All in
Fabian Gumz: Q♥Q♦

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Arriving on a J♣6♠2♥5♥ turn in a pot worth well over 50,000, Aren Bezhanyan checked in the hijack to Leo Worthington-Leese in the cutoff. Worthington-Leese made a bet of 36,000 and Bezhanyan called.

The 6♣ river then completed the board. Bezhanyan knuckled the table again before Worthington-Leese put him all-in for 58,000. Benzhanyan spent nearly all of his time banks before slamming in a call.

Worthington-Leese opened A♠9♠ for an ace-high bluff. Bezhanyan tabled 8♠8♦ for a pair of eights to take the pot and double up.
