Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Stephane Guelpa opened to 1,600 from early position before Francky Magliocco three-bet to 9,500 from the cutoff. Antoine Rahal then moved all in for 17,900 from the button, which prompted Tobias Duthweiler to five-bet jam for around 65,000 from the small blind.
Guelpa folded while Magliocco argued that the small blind could only call. He was mistaken after the dealer explained, which was backed up by the tournament director. Magliocco folded and the cards went on their backs.
Antoine Rahal: 4♦4♣
Tobias Duthweiler: A♦3♦
There were some eyebrows raised at what cards were tabled, but Rahal didn't mind as he breathed life into his stack after remaining best following the 6♥10♦5♣Q♦Q♣ runout.

Kiryl Asaulenka four-bet to what appeared to be 11,700 and then called the five-bet shove by Samuel Polack from two seats over for around 32,000.
Kiryl Asaulenka: A♦K♣
Samuel Polack: Q♣Q♠
The Q♥7♦4♠ flop left Asaulanka on the ropes and his elimination was confirmed with the 5♣ turn to make the 9♣ river a formality.

In a battle of the blinds, Thomas Boivin check-raised the K♦4♣3♠ flop to 6,000 and Fintan Hand stuck around.
Boivin checked the K♠ on the turn for Hand to bet 4,000 and the Belgian called. Both then checked the 2♠ on the river and Boivin won the pot with the 4♦3♦.
"Not a great turn," another player at the table remarked.

Alex Keating raised to 1,600 as first to act and Roberto Romanello flat-called from the cutoff. Govert Metaal then made it 7,000 to go on the button, after which Hugo Machado jammed all in for 20,700.
Keating and Romanello quickly got out of the way, but Metaal tanked for a bit before putting in the call.
Hugo Machado: A♦K♠
Govert Metaal: Q♥9♦
Metaal was three-betting light but had two live cards to hit. However, the A♣6♥6♠ flop spelled disaster for him, and the 8♥ turn locked up the pot for Machado. The 10♠ river appeared as a formality and the pot was shipped to Machado.

With plenty of chips in the middle to the Q♠10♠6♣6♥10♣, Sergi Reixach pushed all in and Pavlos Xanthopoulos instantly called. Reixach tabled the A♣Q♥ but it was no good, as Xanthopoulos had turned trips and rivered a full house with the A♠6♠.
"Flop was check, check, and he check-raised the turn. No wait, I can't remember," Ian Bradley mentioned and then asked Xanthopoulos, who replied "no, he bet the flop."

Hwany Lee and Aliaksei Boika were heads up in a pot worth 47,000 chips. Lee checked under the gun on a completed board of 3♦8♣6♥9♥3♠, and Boika shipped in his stack of 30,600 from the next seat over.
Lee tanked for a bit before tossing in a calling chip, and the cards went on their backs. Boika showed 10♥10♣ for an overpair, while the dealer turned over the K♦6♣ with which Lee had called down.
Boika won a pot worth almost double the average, while Lee was left with just 15 big blinds.

Sacha Rymland got his last 9,800 in preflop with the A♣K♣ and he was up against the K♦Q♥ of table chip leader Christophe Pommier. The A♥K♥3♦3♥J♣ board almost caused an upset but Rymland eventually held to stay in contention.
