Tim Baker

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

The action was picked up with the flop reading 8♦3♥7♥. Georgios Vrakas checked from middle position and Nabil El Hage bet 2,200 from the next seat. Vrakas check-raised to 7,000 which El Hage quickly called.

As soon as the dealer dropped the J♠ on the turn, Vrakas shoved for El Hage's remaining 24,000. El Hage thought it over for a few minutes before tossing his cards into the muck, surrendering the pot to Vrakas.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Conor Beresford raised to 1,200 from the hijack, Robbie Bull called in the cutoff, as did the big blind.

The A♣A♠8♥ flop saw the action check to Beresford, who continued for 1,200. Only Bull called.

The 9♦ turn saw Beresford size up to 5,500. Bull was undeterred.

The 2♦ river saw Beresford empty the clip, moving all in for Bull's effective stack of approximately 22,000. Bull thought for some time before making a reluctant call.

Robbie Bull: A♦5♦ All in
Conor Beresford: 8♠8♦

Bull's flopped trips were behind the full house of Beresford, sending him to the rail.

Peter Onnestam raised to 1,200 from early position and Damian Wroblewski three-bet to 2,800 from the hijack. After the rest of the table folded, Onnestam called.

Both players checked the 8♣A♣5♠ flop to see the 2♠ fall on the turn. Onnestam led out for 6,000 and Wroblewski called.

The 10♦ river saw Onnestam bet 13,500 and Wroblewski snap-call. Onnestam turned over A♥K♥ for top pair top kicker, which won him the pot as Wroblewski showed AxQx.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Liviu-Alexandru Nedelea raised to 1,300 from early position. Ashkan Maleki three-bet to 4,500 from the hijack and Nedelea responded by moving all in. Maleki called off the bet for his effective stack of 12,100.

Ashkan Maleki: A♥K♠ All in
Liviu-Alexandru Nedelea: K♣K♥

The flop landed A♣K♦10♠; Maleki had hit his ace, but the case king gave Nedelea a set. The 3♠ turn and 5♣ river changed nothing and Maleki was sent to the rail.

Rusen Mat opened the action to 1,300 from early position, and Milan Aloric put out a three-bet of 4,000 from middle position. David Ceranic called from the button, and Mat followed as well.

The trio saw a flop of 7♣2♥J♠. Mat checked, and Aloric continued with a bet of 4,100. Ceranic quickly made it 16,000, and after the fold from Mat, the action went back to Aloric, who took a few seconds before open-folding J♣Q♣. Ceranic was generous enough to show AxAx, and he collected the pot.

The 3♠5♦6♠ flop checked through to the J♥ turn and 5♠ river. Cherkasov bet out 5,000 and Rejc called. Cherkasov rolled over A♥Q♠ for ace-high, good enough to secure this pot.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

The action was picked up on a flop of 3♦K♣4♥. Pierre Bertrand bet from the small blind and Vittorio Maugini shoved for roughly 8,000 out of the big blind. Martin Lohmann moved all in over the top from the cutoff with the covering stack and Bertrand folded.

Vittorio Maugini: K♥9♠ All in
Martin Lohmann: A♠K♠

Both players had top pair but it was Lohmann's kicker that had him out in front. The 10♠ came on the turn and meant only a river nine would keep Maugini alive. The river came the 9♦ to give Maugini the winner with two pair, and he doubled up through Lohmann.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

The action started with Patrick Bueno opening to 1,200 from under the gun. Marco Cipriani called from middle position, and both Thor William Morstoel and Alexane Najchaus followed along from the blinds.

The flop came 4♣9♠3♠, and the action was checked to Cipriani, who fired a bet of 1,500. Morstoel called, Najchaus got out of the way, and Bueno called as well.

The three of them saw the J♠ on the turn, and the action was once again checked to Cipriani, who bet 3,500. Morstoel elected to fold this time, but Bueno made the call.

The river was the J♣, and Cipriani bet 8,500 after Bueno’s check. After a minute or two, Bueno decided to fold, and the pot went to Cipriani’s side.

Marco Cipriani	60,000 31,000	31,000

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

The action was caught as Gregory Chenet, who was under the gun, found himself all in and at risk for his effective stack of 7,500, agasint Henri Ojala, in the small blind.

Gregory Chenet: 4♦4♥ All in
Henri Ojala: A♠J♠

Chenet was ahead and the 9♦8♣8♥7♦ runout seemed like a safe one. However, the J♦ river propelled Ojala into the lead and Chenet was sent to the rail.
