Grobocopatel Flops Flush to Crack Set

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action was on the turn on a board of 4105Q and Benoit Grobocopatel was all in against Xavier Cortazar Vidal, who had slightly more chips as players revealed their hands.

Vidal showed QQ for a set of queens. However, Grobocopatel turned over AK for a flopped flush.

The river came a blank, the 7, and Grobocopatel held to win the pot and double his stack. Vidal was left short stacked with just a few big blinds.

Chabbi Wins at Showdown Without Showing Down

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Younes Hammouchi opened to 2,000 from the cutoff and was three-bet to 5,500 by Adrian Chabbi on the button. Action folded back around to Hammouchi, who called.

Chabbi proceeded to call bets from Hammouchi, first for 4,700 on the 2KJ flop, then for 10,800 on the 4 turn, and finally for 12,000 on the 4 river.

Hammouchi motioned that Chabbi was good, but Chabbi didn't want to show unless Hammouchi showed fist. Hammouchi opted to muck and Chabbi followed suit before collecting the pot.

Spekman Runs Into Aces

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Last year's final tablist Denzel Spekman was right next to the defending champion Razvan Belea and shipped his shorter stack in with the AQ. Jorge Ufano happily called with the AA and had little to fear on the Q6498 board.

"Easy game," Belea joked to the Spaniard.

Brandon Sheils: Q10
Omar Lakhdari: A9

The board ran out 834109; Sheils peeled the perfect turn to pull ahead, ultimately doubling him up.

The KJ86Q board gave Labussiere two pair and Al Fakih was left with a mere 12 blinds, which vanished before their table broke.
