Tyler Foran

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Radoslav Stoyanov opened 50,000 in middle position, and Gregory Fournier called on the button before Dan Laidlaw jammed 260,000 into the middle in the small blind. Stoyanov quickly mucked, but Fournier didn't go anywhere dropping in a chip to call.

Dan Laidlaw: A♣J♥
Gregory Fournier: 2♥2♣

It was a flip but the A♦K♣9♥ flop gave Laidlaw the lead with a pair of aces. The 6♦ turn and 9♠ river were safe for him as he collected the double.

Sandro Pitzanti: 10x8x
Julien Duveau: K♥J♠

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Ilija Savevski opened to 50,000 from middle position and was called by Gregory Fournier from the hijack, Daniel Laidlaw three-bet to 185,000 from the cutoff and only Fournier called.

Fournier check-called for 90,000 on the 7♣5♣5♠ flop, which brought in the 10♠ turn. Fournier checked once more and immediately called off his last 460,000 after Laidlaw moved all in as the bigger stack.

Fournier had flopped a boat as he held 7♠7♥ and was miles in front of Laidlaw's A♦A♣. The 2♦ river completed the board and Fournier dragged in the pot.

Ilija Savevski	2,300,000 1,150,000	1,150,000

Matt Warburton

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Luca Moschitta raised from under the gun and picked up a call before Nhat Truong moved almost all in for 300,000, leaving a single 5,000 chip behind. Moschitta made a shove to isolate, leaving just him and the at-risk Troung in the pot.

Troung didn't instantly call, instead stalling for a few seconds. Players instantly called clock on him and a debate ensued, some players suggesting he should be allowed to take more time and others pointing out that with only 5,000 behind there is no decision to make.

In any case, Troung threw his last chip in the middle and players flipped their cards.

Nhat Truong: K♣K♠
Luca Moschitta: 9♥9♠

The board ran out J♣K♦3♦10♠4♠. Troung improved to a set of kings on the flop and held to double up his stack.

Player	Chips	Progress
Luca Moschitta	750,000 671,000	671,000
Nhat Truong	670,000 30,000	30,000

David Docherty: 8♦8♠
Andras Matrai: 9♦9♠

The board ran out 3♠2♠5♦J♣J♥; Docherty's inferior pocket pair couldn't pull ahead and he was sent to the rail.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Sho Homma raised to 50,000 in the hijack, and Jon Vallinas called on the button before Kacper Pyzara raised to 225,000 from the small blind. Homma called, but Vallinas got out of the way.

The dealer spread a flop of 8♠4♦2♥ and Pyzara continued for 175,000. Homma called.

The 6♣ hit the turn and Pyzara slowed down with a check. Homma fired a bet of 200,000 and Pyzara called.

When the 7♠ completed the board, Pyzara checked to Homma who shipped the rest of his 525,000 into the middle, putting Pyzara deep into the tank. After several minutes, he pushed his cards into the muck.

"Show the bluff!" yelled tablemate Frederic Normand.

Homma hesitated, but ultimately decided to muck face down as he laughed, "No, it's a secret."

Player	Chips	Progress
Sho Homma	1,475,000 275,000	275,000

The pot stood at 285,000 with two players looking at a board that read 2♦A♠5♥8♣.

The 9♣ river saw Rios check. Zerjav moved all in, putting Rios to the test for his remaining 845,000. Rios remained in the tank for several minutes before making the call.

Jorge Rios: A♣10♠
Blaz Zerjav: 8♥8♠

Zerjav's turned set was way out in front as he scooped this monster pot, eliminating Rios.
