Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Heads-up on a flop of Q♣Q♠4♣, Matteo Martorelli bet 1,500 from under the gun and Antonio Crocetta called in the cutoff.

The turn was the 3♥ and Martorelli bet 2,500. Crocetta again called and the A♦ fell on the river.

Martorelli slowed down and checked, and Crocetta checked back. Martorelli had K♠Q♦ for trip queens, but Crocetta turned over 4♠4♦ for a flopped full house.

"Wow. Collusion," tablemate Frederic Delval joked.

Calum Grant

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Power Path winner Guillermo Sanz kicked things off, raising to 700 from the hijack. Vladimir Erceg three-bet to 1,800 from the cutoff to 1,800 before Kamal Boughareb made it 6,100 from the small blind. Sanz folded before Erceg called.

Boughareb check-called for 4,700 on the 6♥5♣2♣ flop, leaving him with around 8,300 behind. Boughareb checked when the J♦ turn came in, and Erceg put him all in. After some time in the tank, Boughareb called.

Kamal Boughareb: A♦K♥ All in
Vladimir Erceg: A♣8♣

Boughareb called with the best hand but needed to avoid an eight or a club to stay in contention. The dealer complied with the 2♥ river and he doubled up.
