Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Demosthenes Kiriopoulos raised to 3,800 from late position, Adrian Boon Chye Chua called on the button, and the players in the small blind and big blind came along.

The flop came 4♣2♥8♣. Kiriopoulos continued for 3,800 and only Chua called. The turn was the 4♠ and Kiriopoulos fired another bet for 6,200, which Chua called.

Both players then checked it back on the 6♦ river. Kiriopoulos had 7♣6♣ for a pair of sixes and Chua showed 8♦7♦ for a pair of eights to win the pot.

Olga Iermolcheva opened to 2,000 from middle position and was called by Henry Strasser in the hijack and Mario Melis on the button.

The flop came K♠10♥5♥ and action checked around to Strasser who bet 3,000. Iermolcheva called while Melis got out of the way.

Strasser bet again for 6,500 when checked to on the 2♦ turn and this time it was enough to force a fold from Iermolcheva.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action was picked up with Jamie Flynn all in and at risk from the small blind for around 6,000 chips versus the covering stack of Kostadin Kostadinov in the big blind.

Jamie Flynn: J♦5♦ All in
Kostadin Kostadinov: A♥2♦

Flynn took the lead on the 5♥K♥6♥ board and upgraded his hand to two pair on the J♣ turn. He held against the flush draw on the 6♦ river.

The very next hand, Jon Vallinas opened to 5,600 from early position. Action folded around to Flynn who moved all in from the button for 14,600. Vallinas called and the players showed down.

Jamie Flynn: A♥Q♠ All in
Jon Vallinas: Q♣Q♥

The K♣9♦7♦ flop was safe for Vallinas but an ace rolled off on the A♦ turn. The river 7♥ ensured another double up and left Vallinas short.
