Matt Warburton

Level 9 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The board read 6♥J♦3♣3♠ and Jeremie Zouari checked to his opponent. Artsiom Lasouski pushed all in and had Zouari covered for 46,000 effective.

Zouari went into the tank and used three time bank cards before coming to his decision. He eventually folded and left Lasouski to pull in the pot.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Following an open-raise from Juho Ruutari, Daisuke Ogita moved all in from the button for 66,500. Ricardo Caridade then moved all in over the top for 86,000 from the big blind. Ruutari folded, leaving two players to turn their cards, with Ogita at risk.

Daisuke Ogita: 6♠6♣ All in
Ricardo Caridade: K♣K♠

Ogita was in serious trouble and needed to find help as the board ran out 2♠5♦7♥3♥4♥ to give him an unlikely straight on the river. Ogita doubled up his stack and Caridade was left short with around 7,500.

It looked like Caridade would be heading for the exit as he found himself pot committed in the small blind the next hand, but he managed to double his short stack to give himself a chance to chip back up.

Meanwhile, Nikita Kuznetsov has joined the tournament with just a couple of levels left to play on Day 1.

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Vladyslav Martynenko raised from late position and Ricardo Caridade moved all in from the button with a short stack of 22,000, a touch under ten big blinds. Martynenko made the call with the covering stack and players turned their cards.

Ricardo Caridade: J♣J♦ All in
Vladyslav Martynenko: A♦10♣

Caridade was in good shape. He held up as the board ran out K♠3♣7♦8♠Q♣ to win the pot with pocket jacks and double his stack.

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Candido Cappiello was all in preflop for around 30,000 against Espen Jorstad, who had him well covered as players turned their cards.

Candido Cappiello: A♣K♥ All in
Espen Jorstad: J♦J♥

The board ran out 5♣J♠10♦Q♦7♦ and Jorstad made a set of jacks on the flop. The turn gave Cappiello a straight, however, and he won the pot to double up his stack.

"You won the other one and I won this one," said Cappiello as he raked in the chips.

Player	Chips	Progress
Espen Jorstad	210,000 210,000	210,000

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Action was on the river on a board of 6♠2♠4♣10♠9♣ and Niklas Astedt had fired out a bet of 90,000. Roman Hrabec was deep in the tank and was covered as he contemplated the call. Hrabec eventually put his remaining 72,000 chips in the middle.

Astedt had A♠7x for a missed flush that he'd turned into a bluff. Hrabec flipped over Q♣Q♠ for pocket queens, an overpair to the board. He won the pot and doubled up his stack.
