Molenaar's Meteoric Rise Continues
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Michel Molenaar had raised from under the gun, and Aliaksei Boika defended his big blind. The flop was then spread 4♥10♥4♠ and Boika checked to Molenaar.
Molenaar continued for 4,000, which Boika raised to 14,000. That was not enough for Molenaar, however, who three-bet enough to put Boika all-in. Boika made the call for his 50,000 or so remaining chips and the players showed down.
Aliaksei Boika: 10♦9♦
Michel Molenaar: A♣10♣
Molenaar had the best hand with his two pair and ace kicker, and it remained so when the board ran out J♣7♠, seeing the late registrant increase his stack to more than three starting stacks.

River Bails Out Bonanata
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Marcelo Bonanata under the gun and Jon Ander Vallinas in the big blind had created a pot of 21,500 when all the chips went in the middle on a board of K♦3♣J♠4♠. Bonanata was the at-risk player with a stack of 89,500 as the cards hit the felt.
Marcelo Bonanata: A♣K♠
Jon Ander Vallinas: J♥3♥
Bonanata flopped top pair, but it was second best behind the two pair of Vallinas. The K♣ river upgraded him to trips, however, resulting in his victory and double-up.

Astedt Chips Up
Level 6
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Aliaksandr Hirs opened the action with a raise to 4,000 from under the gun. Niklas Astedt then three-bet to 9,000 from the cutoff and Hirs made the call once it folded back to him.
The J♦6♣2♣ flop saw Hirs check-call a 4,500 bet from Astedt, and he did the same for the 7,500 bet the Swede fired on the 7♦ turn.
The K♦ river then completed the board and Astedt moved all in for roughly 30,000 chips after a third check from Hirs. Hirs made a quick fold, forfeiting the pot to his opponent.

Makaci Holds On
Level 6
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Franck Makaci and Sergi Reixach were heads up on a board that read 9♠10♥8♠5♣. The pot had already grown to a size of 60,000 chips when Makaci put in 55,000 more from the small blind.
Reixach spent some time thinking under the gun before going all in, covering Makaci's total stack of 80,000. Makaci quickly tossed in his final chip for a call and the cards went on their backs.
Franck Makaci: Q♠Q♣
Sergi Reixach: 9♥7♥
Makaci's overpair was in the lead, but Reixach had a plethora of outs to hit. They did not arrive on the 5♦ river, however, and Makaci celebrated his double-up while Reixach was moved to another table.

Mulder Receives Lucky Double-Up
Level 6
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
After some preflop raises, Teun Mulder's stack of 91,000 chips landed in the middle from under the gun, and he was looked up by Daniel Dvoress in the small blind.
Teun Mulder: J♠J♥
Daniel Dvoress: Q♥Q♦
It was looking like Mulder's second bullet would go up in flames on the 9♦10♣A♣ board, but the J♣ turn saw him turn a set to take the lead.
Dvoress did not hit his straight draw nor did he river a set when the 10♠ completed the board, resulting in a double-up for Mulder.
