Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Ihar Soika opened from the cutoff to 10,000 and was called by Elias Gutierrez in the small blind,

Milos Petakovic was in the big blind, reached for chips, and produced a three-bet to 52,000.

Action back to Soika, who thought for a moment and announced a four-bet to 92,000. Gutierrez folded.

Petakovic went into the tank, but went for the all-in five-bet jam for around 366,000. Soika snap-called, with Soika at risk.

Ihar Soika: A♦A♠
Milos Petakovic: K♥K♦

Petakovic had run his kings straight into Soika's aces, and no help arrived on the J♥Q♣Q♣5♥8♦ runout, sending a big pot to Soika.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Mario Trattou opened 12,000 under the gun, and the action folded around to Michael Jozoff in the big blind. "Let's see a flop," he said as he put in the chips to call.

Both players checked to the river on the 10♦8♥7♥10♥10♣ board, where Jozoff fired 15,000. Trattou didn't think too long before making the call.

Jozoff rolled over his 7♦7♠ saying, "I flopped it, but I still have a seven. I'm not greedy."

Trattou mucked his hand as the dealer pushed the pot to Jozoff.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Byron Kaverman was already all-in preflop and at risk from early position for his last 68,000 against Jacob Amsellem, who was in the hijack.

Byron Kaverman: A♠A♦
Jacob Amsellem: 9♠9♦

The 5♠7♣5♠7♥A♣ runout was overkill for Kaverman, who improved to a full house for the double up.

Amsellem was left with just 37,000 following the encounter.

Byron Kaverman	148,000 84,000	84,000

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Bruno Bernardino led out for 8,000 on the A♦8♥7♦ flop and Michael Jozoff raised to 33,000. Bernardino made the call.

The 3♠ hit the turn and Bernardino checked before Jozoff fired 38,000 across the line. This time Bernardino tanked, using a time bank before making the call.

When the 4♠ completed the board, Bernardino checked for a final time and Jozoff ripped all in. Bernardino considered his options for a little over a minute and pitched his cards into the muck.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Cedric Schwaederle opened in early position to 10,000 and was called by Hubert Baran-Osinski, and Michail Manolakis in the big blind.

On the 10♦Q♠2♣ flop action was checked to Baran-Osinski, who put out a bet of 11,000. Manolakis folded, Schwaederle called.

On the 4♠ turn Schwaederle again checked, and Baran-Osinski put out a bet of 40,000, which earned a swift fold from his opponent.

Player	Chips	Progress
Hubert Baran-Osinski	660,000 10,000	10,000

Dan O'Hair

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Stanislav Zegal raised to 11,000 on the button and Azamat Tulepbergenov three-bet to 32,000 from the small blind. It was folded back to Zegal, who announced he was all in for 156,000 total. Tulepbergenov re-checked his hole cards and put in a call to put Zegal at risk.

Stanislav Zegal: A♠K♠
Azamat Tulepbergenov: A♦Q♠

Zegal had Tulepbergenov dominated, and the 5♣K♥3♦6♥4♣ runout needlessly improved Zegal to a pair of kings for the double-up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Azamat Tulepbergenov	375,000 213,500	213,500
Stanislav Zegal	320,000 11,500	11,500

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Three players created a pot of about 100,000, and the 7♦5♦2♣5♠ turn was already on the felt. The action was checked to Simon Mattsson who fired a bet of 25,000, and only Alexandre Reard made the call.

The 9♣ landed on the river, and both players tapped the table. Reard rolled over 6♠6♣ before seeing it was no good as Mattsson tabled 8♠8♣.

Alexandre Reard	468,000 72,000	72,000

Alex Reard opened to 12,000 from middle position and Boris Kolev called in the next seat. Jean-Noel Thorel also called in the big blind.

Action was checked to Kolev on the 7♣2♠J♠ flop, who put out a bet of 13,000. Only Kolev called.

On the 6♦ turn, Reard check-called a bet of 46,000 from Kolev.

The river brought the 8♦ and Reard checked once more. Kolev checked back this time and Reard showed K♣J♣ for top pair jacks and Kolev mucked his hand.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Eduard Barsegian shoved for his last 26,000 from the cutoff and Guillaume Nolet called from the small blind, having Barsegian covered.

Eduard Barsegian: 6♦6♣
Guillaume Nolet: 3♣3♦

Barsegian looked poised to double with his higher pair, but the 3♥2♠2♥ flop vaulted Nolet into the lead with a full house.

The Q♠ turn and 7♠ river changed nothing and Barsegian was forced to surrender the rest of his chips.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jacob Amsellem opened 11,000 in the hijack, and Fabrice Bigot defended the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of A♣J♣5♦, and Bigot check-called a bet of 11,000 from Amsellem.

The 5♥ hit the turn, and Bigot checked to Amsellem who continued for 30,000. Bigot made the call.

When the 7♣ landed on the river, Bigot took a moment and fired 45,000 across the line. Amsellem called quickly to see the 8♣3♣ of Bigot. He sighed as he nodded his head, and mucked his cards.

Player	Chips	Progress
Fabrice Bigot	376,000 166,000	166,000
Jacob Amsellem	93,000 68,000	68,000
