Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

When the K♥J♠10♠ flop hit the felt, Zhou checked to Saout who continued for 17,000. Zhou jammed for his remaining stack of 118,000 and Saout's cards quickly hit the muck.

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Following an open raise, Mark Buckley moved all in for 245,000 from the small blind. Sitting on a huge stack, Ram Faravash called in the big blind. The original raiser folded and players flipped their cards.

Mark Buckley: A♦6♥
Ram Faravash: A♣8♣

The board ran out 4♥10♥2♣Q♦J♦. Neither player improved and so Faravash held with his ace high and eight kicker to win the pot. Buckley was sent to the rail and Faravash chipped up to over 1.5 million.

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Julien Sitbon opened 20,000 under the gun, and Lorenzo Cendali called from a couple of spots to his left before Samuel Fournier, and Bruno Bernardino came along in the blinds.

The A♦K♥6♦ flop hit the felt, and once checked to, Sitbon continued for 13,000. Cendali moved all-in for 27,000, and both Fournier and Bernardino snap-folded before Sitbon called.

Lorenzo Cendali: A♠3♥
Julien Sitbon: K♠8♠

Cendali flopped top pair and the 2♣ turn was a safe one, but the 8♥ river gave Sitbon two pair, sending him away from the table.
