Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action was caught with cards on their backs, with Mathieu Di Meglio all-in for around 75,000. Nicolas Chouity was the player looking to bust him and had Di Meglio narrowly covered.

Mathieu Di Meglio: AxQx All in
Nicolas Chouity: AxKx

Chouity paired up on the K♦J♣4♥ flop to remain ahead while Di Meglio had a draw to Broadway. The J♥ turn and J♠ river gave Chouity a full house and Di Meglio left the table after it was confirmed he had the slightly smaller stack.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

In a pot of 40,000 on the 9♠K♠7♣Q♣ turn, Ali Al-Kubasi checked from the big blind to Benjamin Winsor in the hijack. Winsor bet 25,000 and Al-Kubasi called.

The 2♠ river saw Al-Kubasi check again before Winsor bet 55,000. Al-Kubasi spent a good five minutes in the tank before the clock was called. His countdown eventually reached zero and his hand was declared dead, losing him the pot.

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

Robert Schiffbauer opened to 5,500 out of his stack of 26,000 from the button. Vyacheslav Shin then moved all in for 29,000 from the small blind. Ali Al-Kubasi stuck in a tower of T-5,000 chips from the big blind and Schiffbauer put in the rest of his stack.

Robert Schiffbauer: A♥2♥ All in
Vyacheslav Shin: 8♦8♣
Ali Al-Kubasi: A♦J♦

Shin's pocket pair remained best as his opponents failed to connect on the 7♣4♠4♥6♠3♦ runout. Shin collected the pot while Schiffbauer departed.

Hasbani Gets Value From Varnaev

Kai Cocklin

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

Antoine Hasbani made a raise from the hijack and Sergei Varnaev three-bet the cutoff to 19,000. When the action got back to Hasbani, he called.

The flop came down 4♦6♦J♣, Hasbani checked it over to Varnaev, who fired a bet of 11,000. Hasbani called.

Both checked the 8♠ turn to the board-pairing 6♥ river where Hasbani led out with a bet of 23,000. Varnaev didn't need to think for too long to make a decision and called.

Hasbani then flipped K♠J♠ for a pair of jacks, and Varnaev mucked.
