Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Action was on the flop on a board of K♦J♥8♥ and Yakov Bar El checked. Vladas Tamasauskas fired out a bet, Lukas Bojovic called, then Yakov Bar El check-raised. That prompted Tamasauskas to reraise and then Luka Bojovic back-raised all in. Bar El folded and Tamasauskas called.

Vladas Tamasauskas: A♥K♥ All in
Luka Bojovic: K♠8♠

Tamasauskas had top pair along with a flush draw. Bojovic was ahead with two pair, kings and eights. The turn was the K♣ to further improve Bojovic's hand to a full house and remove Tamasauskas' outs for the flush.

The river came the 6♠ and Bojovic held to win the pot, near-doubling his stack and sending Tamasauskas to the rail.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Hady El Asmar raised and Isabella Lemoscosta three-bet to 3,000, which both Berthold Winz and El Asmar called.

The flop ran out 7♦3♥6♣ and Winz bet 6,500, which only El Asmar called. The turn was the Q♦ and Winz led again for 11,000. El Asmar again called to make for an inflated pot heading to the river.

The river came the 8♣ and Winz checked. El Asmar bet 20,000, which was the majority of his opponent's stack. Winz went into the tank before making the call. El Asmar showed 10♥6♥ for a pair of sixes.

It didn't seem like much, but Winz shook his head and tutted. He had called with the worst hand and his cards went into the muck as El Asmar scooped the pot.

Winz was left with just 400 chips. He did manage to triple his stack the following hand, but ultimately busted a few moments later.
