Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action folded to Jozef Cibicek in middle position, who opened to 3,500. Action folded to Andrej Tekel in the big blind, who reached for chips and three-bet to 13,500. After some thought, Cibicek called.

On the 6♠5♣8♣ flop, after about two minutes of consideration, Tekel moved all in, slightly covering Cibicek.

Cibicek counted out his chips and after some thought, made the call for around 35,000, to put himself at risk.

Jozef Cibicek: K♣J♣ All in
Andrej Tekel: Q♦Q♥

Tekel was ahead with a pair of queens, but Cibicek had the flush draw and an overcard.

The 10♦ turn didn't alter matters, but the 10♣ river gave Cibicek the king-high flush and a timely double-up, while leaving Tekel with crumbs.

Jozef Cibicek	114,000 83,400	83,400
Andrej Tekel	7,000 7,000	7,000

Oleksii Lazarchuk opened to 3,500 under the gun and received calls from Roman Hrabec on the button and Ramiro Petrone in the big blind.

On the 6♣9♣3♥ flop Petrone checked to Lazarchuk, who put out a bet of 5,500. Hrabec called, as did Petrone.

The 7♦ turn was checked through by all players.

On the J♥ river action was checked to Hrabec, who fired out a bet of 30,000, leaving himself 2,000 behind.

Petrone folded after a few minutes of thought, and Lazarchuk quickly followed suit.

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

Eduard Garaj, in the cutoff, found himself all in and at risk against Pieter De Necker, who was under the gun.

Eduard Garaj: A♦K♦ All in
Pieter De Necker: 5♥5♣

The flop landed 4♣J♦4♦ giving Garaj a flush draw. The 10♠ added an additional gutshot to Garaj's already extensive list of outs.

"Too many" Parker Talbot, a nuteral player at the table, remarked as the river landed the 3♣ and Garaj was sent to the rail.

Pieter De Necker	65,000 65,000	65,000

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

Cards were on their backs and chips were in the middle, with Serhii Tarnakin all-in for 50,000 and at risk versus Hugo Machado.

Serhii Tarnakin: A♥K♦ All in
Hugo Machado: 10♦10♠

Tarnakin was behind in a race, and the 10♣2♥9♥ flop gave Machado top set and left Tarnakin drawing extremely thin.

The 9♦ rolled off on the turn to give Machado the full house and leave Tarnakin drawing dead, with the K♠ completing the board.

Richard Hayes

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

Jamie Flynn opened to 4,000 under the gun and received calls from Conor Bergin in early position and Damien Ruer on the button.

Action folded to David Tous in the big blind, who put in chips totaling 5,000, while clearly meaning to call. The floor was called and the action was ruled a raise, with Tous being required to make it 6,000.

Flynn quickly took full advantage of the action being reopened, moving all in for 35,000 total.

Bergin and Ruer got out of the way, but Tous went into the tank, and after some thought, flicked in calling chips to put Flynn at risk.

Jamie Flynn: K♠Q♠ All in
David Tous: 8♣7♣

Flynn was ahead and remained so after the 10♦J♥10♣ flop.

The Q♦ rolled off on the turn to give Flynn a pair of queens, and he improved further to a full house on the Q♣ river.
