Lukas Hafner raised from the cutoff, Brice Guido three-bet to 3,500 from the button and Hafner four-bet to 9,200.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The under-the-gun player raised, prompting David Petkovic to three-bet jam for his last 10,800, from the button. Nina Krasilnikova cold called in the small blind and the original raiser folded.

David Petkovic: 10♠10♦ All in
Nina Krasilnikova: 6♠6♦

"Please! Six!" called Krasilnikova, the moment she saw she was behind. The poker gods seemingly listened as the dealer spread 5♣A♠6♣ flop. The Q♥ turn and K♥ river ensured Petkovic's departure.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Lukas Hafner opened from under the gun to 800. Action folded around to Bruno Lopes in the small blind who called and Dominyakas Karmazinas defended the big blind.

Both blinds checked the 8♦8♠K♠ flop to Hafner, who bet 800. Lopes folded and Karmazinas called. The 9♥ was checked around before Karmazinas said "I will surprise you on the river."

On the 7♠ river, Karmazinas said "I'll give you discount," before betting 2,000. Hafner went into the tank and Karmazinas continued talking. "You can try to raise," he added.

Hafner asked Karmazinas if he would show or not before the clock was called on him. As soon as the floor came over he put in the call. Karmazinas showed K♣2♠ for two pair and Hafner mucked.

Player	Chips	Progress
Lukas Hafner	45,000 23,600	23,600
