Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Three players saw the turn on a board of K♠8♦2♥J♠ when Danut Chisu bet 16,500 from middle position.

Tudor Zapsa raised to 46,500 in the big blind as action went on Danilo Velasevic, who moved all in for 123,500 under the gun.

Chisu spent several minutes in the tank before folding. Zapsa then also took around five minutes until he joined Chisu in the muck as Velasevic took down the pot.

"Show one. Ten of spades one time," tablemate Muhamet Perati said to Velasevic, who didn't oblige and returned his cards face down.

Harutyunyan check-called for 4,000 on the 9♠4♥3♠ flop before the 8♠ turn checked through to the 5♥ river. Harutyunyan led out for 5,500 and folded out his opponent.
