Eugenio Peralta opened to 2,100 from middle position and the short-stacked Luis Perez moved all in for 1,800.

Action folded to Tobias Hausen in the small blind, who reached for chips and produced a three-bet to 9,500, which earnt a fold from Peralta, with Perez at risk.

Luis Perez: K♦6♦
Tobias Hausen: A♣K♣

Perez was in trouble with his king dominated, and although he flopped a straight draw on the 7♣9♠5♥ flop, the 2♥A♦ runout did not provide him with the help he needed.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was picked up after an all in and a call between Giovanni Giudice and Emmanouil Asgoudakis.

Guidice was at risk but had the superior holding to Asgoudakis.

Giovanni Giudice: A♦Q♣
Emmanouil Asgoudakis: K♠Q♥

The flop of 2♣5♥4♥ was favourable for Giudice and the turn 3♠ gave him the wheel leaving Asgoudakis drawing dead and confirming a full double up for the Italian. The inconsequential 8♠ was dealt on the river and Giudice scooped the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Giovanni Giudice	50,000 50,000	50,000
Emmanouil Asgoudakis	5,000 25,000	25,000

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Kostadin Kostadinov was already all in and at risk for a bit under 20,000 from under the gun against Jimmy Armougom, who had Kostadinov covered from the small blind.

Kostadin Kostadinov: 7♣7♥
Jimmy Armougom: 6♥6♠

Kostadinov was in good shape to double with his overpair, but the 5♥A♣6♦ flop improved Armougom to a set and left Kostadinov drawing slim.

The 2♣ turn and A♦ river kept Armougom out in front and Kostadinov wished his tablemates good luck as he stood up from the table.

Richard Hayes

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Daniel Moran opened to 2,200 in middle position and Jose Manuel Gonzalez defended his big blind.

On the J♣3♥7♣ flop Gonzalez check-called a bet of 1,500 from Moran.

On the J♦ turn Gonzalez again check-called a bet of 6,000 from Moran.

The 2♦ rolled off on the river, and Gonzalez checked to Moran once more. Moran fired out a bet of 25,000.

Gonzalez pondered the spot for at least three minutes, before sliding forward calling chips.

However he was shown the bad news when Moran turned over 2♣2♥ for a rivered full house, causing Gonzalez to chuckle and muck his hand.

Daniel Moran	78,000 78,000	78,000

The 2♣ turn was knuckled around by the trio leading to the J♦ river. Botman led out for 3,500 and got two quick folds from Odeen and Groenendijk which left the Dutchman with the pot.

Dan O'Hair

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Michael Doverklint was already all in and at risk for approximately 25,000 on the button and was called by Emmanuel Pialat, who had opened from the cutoff.

Michael Doverklint: A♦A♣
Emmanuel Pialat: Q♥Q♣

It was a cooler for Pialat, and the A♥8♦10♦8♠2♥ runout needlessly improved Doverklint to a full house for the double-up.
