Johannes Verhagen checked the 8♦8♣3♠9♦ turn out of the big blind and Bernat Capdevila Montes then bet 13,000 in the hijack. The check-raise to 39,000 by Verhagen followed and the Spaniard reluctantly called.

Verhagen then bet the J♣ river for 70,000 and Capdevila Montes sent his cards into the muck.

Kaufmann Puts On the Pressure Near-Bubble

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Picking up the action on a turn of 3♠Q♦2♦5♥, David Kaufmann checked from the big blind and Andre Marques bet 25,000 into a pot of 30,000 from the button.

Kaufmann made the call and checked on the subsequent 9♣ river. Marques sized up to 80,000 chips, a pot-sized bet. Kaufmann tanked for a minute or so before announcing his all-in, covering the 290,000 chips of Marques, a stack well above the average.

Marques mulled it over for a bit before finding a fold and preserving his stack as the field is 20 players away from reaching the money.
