Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Anufriiev checked to Julius on the 8♦K♠4♣ flop, after which Julius continued for 11,000. Anufriiev tanked for a while before making a small raise to 24,500.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Peter Jaksland has enjoyed a decent stack into Day 2 and increased his stack by more than half already. He then got involved in a hand with Aleksejs Ponakovs that was picked up on the K♥10♥5♣3♠ turn. Jaksland checked and Ponakovs bet 11,000 on the button for the Dane to call.

Both knuckled the felt on the 2♦ river and Jaksland revealed his Q♦J♦ for queen-high and a missed open-ended straight draw. Ponakovs had also missed the board but his A♣Q♠ won the pot.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Picking up the action on the J♣9♦7♠A♥ turn, Michail Manolakis bet 6,500 in middle position. Stoyan Obreshkov called in the hijack and they headed to the 5♣ river. Manolakis now made it 14,500 to go and Obreshkov called instantly, then asked right away if Manolakis had ace-king.

The Greek shook his head and flashed the 9♥8♥ for a pair of nines, which Obreshkov had beat holding the A♦Q♣.
