The pot stood at approximately 38,000 with two players looking at a full board of 7♠6♣4♥K♣4♣.

Frederic Delval, in the big blind, moved all in putting opponent Salem Cherrati, in middle position, to the test for his remaining 27,100.

Cherrati remained in the tank for so long that Delval called the clock on his opponent. Upon the floor's arrival at the table, Cherrati elected to fold.

Maurice Cohen shoved for his last 11,200 before Dhiraj Sharma three-bet all-in for about 23,000. The table quickly folded behind and both hands were shown.

Maurice Cohen: A♥9♣
Dhiraj Sharma: 7♦7♥

It was a classic race until the A♠J♠8♠ flop hit the felt, giving Cohen the lead with a pair of aces. The 9♥ turn and 3♠ river improved Cohen to two pair to remain seated.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Jacob Stone raised to 1,800 and Omar Del Pino three-bet to 5,100 in the hijack, which the initial raiser called. On a flop of Q♦J♠6♥, Del Pino continued for 4,200 as Stone check-called. They checked the 7♠ turn and Stone led the 2♠ river for 2,000.

Del Pino called but mucked upon being shown the A♠Q♣.

One hand later, Ihsan Said moved all-in for 6,500 and Del Pino three-bet to isolate.

Ihsan Said: A♣9♦
Omar Del Pino: A♥K♠

Said took the lead with the J♣9♠6♠ flop and retained it on the 8♥ turn. However, he couldn't fade the K♣ river as Del Pino made the superior pair.
