Matt Warburton

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Action folded around to Cai Jianping, who open raised from the button. Hugues Girard three-bet to 2,000 from the small blind, then Jianping four-bet to 7,000. Girard moved all in for less than 15,000 and Jianping made the call with the bigger stack. Players flipped their cards.

Hugues Girard: A♣K♦
Cai Jianping: A♥6♥

The board ran out J♥2♥K♣3♦10♥. Girard paired his king on the flop, but Jianping completed his flush on the river to win the pot, sending Girard to the rail.

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Liam Melis ended up all-in and at risk for a short stack of 10,700 on the A♦Q♣7♦. He tabled the A♣Q♠ and had very little to fear, as Cedric Lellouche only revealed A♥9♥.

The 8♠ turn and 5♥ river changed nothing whatsoever and Melis doubled.
