Retiere Shows the Goods

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The pot stood at approximately 94,000 with two players looking at a board of 9♠5♣6♣J♥.

Romain Retiere, who was under the gun, bet out 55,000. Chakib Mhiri, in middle position, thought for a considerable amount of time before finally choosing to fold.

As Retiere raked in the pot he flashed 6♥6♠ for a flopped set, proving to Mhiri had made the correct fold.

Zapsa Bubbles the Tournament

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The complete action was missed but on a board reading J♠2♥5♦10♦2♠, Tudor Zapsa checked from the small blind and Ivan Pavlov shoved for Zapsa's remaining 100,000. Zapsa called and Pavlov turned over A♣A♠ for an overpair. Zapsa didn't show his cards and they were lost in the muck before the dealer had a chance to reveal them.
