Chakib Mhiri opened to 50,000 from middle position and was called by Halil Tasyurek from the button.

Mhiri sized up to 350,000 on the final betting street, sending Tasyurek deep into the tank. The Turkish player had 935,000 behind, and after using three-time banks, he opted to return his cards to the dealer.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Andrea Dato opened the cutoff and Chakib Mhiri defended his big blind.

On a flop of Q♣2♠J♣, Mhiri check-called a bet of 35,000 from Dato to see the 9♣ fall on the turn, which was checked through.

The K♦ dropped on the river where Mhiri led out for a small bet of 20,000, then Dato announced a raise to 65,000. After using some extra time, Mhiri then three-bet to 195,000, and Dato snap-folded.

Mhiri showed 4♥4♦ for a bluff, much to the amusement of the table.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Yisha Chen raised to 40,000 in the cutoff. Roeland Peeks flatted his button, after which Bobby James piled in 210,000 chips from the small blind.

Chen found a call before Peeks got out of the way with K♦Q♥. James then continued for 120,000 on the 4♠K♥4♣ turn. Chen called to the 10♥ turn, which went check-check.

The A♠ river completed the board. James check-called Chen's bet of 250,000 and tabled K♣J♣ for a pair of kings. Chen had rivered a better pair with A♥Q♣, however, and chipped up to a seven-figure stack.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Dick Postel raised to 40,000 under the gun. Bobby James called in the cutoff before Daniel Jackson followed suit in the small blind. Big blind Marta Miquel Munoz defended, and a flop of 10♦4♠6♠ hit the felt.

The blinds checked to Postel, who bet 90,000. James raised to 225,000, folding out Jakcson's 8♥7♥. Miquel Munoz decided to risk it all and jammed for 680,000.

Postel eventually folded his 8♦8♣ before James asked for a count. He tanked for a bit and then called off to put Miquel Munoz at risk.

Marta Miquel Munoz: Q♠2♠ All in
Bobby James: A♥10♣

James' top pair was up against the flush draw of Miquel Munoz. The 8♠ turn immediately locked up the pot for her as her flush was completed.

The 2♥ river did not matter anymore as James counted what he owed and paid Miquel Munoz her double-up.

Ivan Zabiiakin opened from the cutoff and Kirill Shcherbakov called out of the big blind.

Zabiiakin had the goods with A♣A♠, and Shcherbakov tossed his cards into the muck.
