Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Thomas Hueber opened to 1,800 from middle position and was called by Iago Savino in the hijack and Koyes Miah on the button. Before Dimitri Steinfeuer had a chance to act from the small blind, Eduardo Escada squeezed to 8,400 from the big blind.

It was ruled that Escada's raise would stand that that Steinfeuer had an option to act based on that action. Steinfeuer cold-called the squeeze and everyone else got out of way.

Steinfeuer and Escada then checked down on the K♥3♦K♣ flop, 7♥ turn, and 4♦ river.

Steinfeuer revealed Q♦Q♣ and Escada sent his hand into the muck.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Michael Sklenicka open-raised to 1,700, Felix Schneiders called on the button, then Burim Mahmudi three-bet to 1,700 from the big blind. Sklenicka and Schneiders both called and three players went to the flop.

The flop ran out Q♠J♦K♥ and Mahmudi continued for 5,000. Sklenicka raised it up to 17,600, Schneiders folded and Mahmudi made the call.

On the A♣ turn, Mahmudi checked and Sklenicka pushed forward a bet of 31,000, which was more than half of his stack. Mahmudi called and left himself a little over 10,000.

The river came the 2♦ and the rest of Mahmudi's chips went in the middle as he bet and Sklenicka moved all in. Mahmudi had A♠K♣ for two pair, but Sklenicka turned over 10♦9♦ for the nut straight to win the pot.

Sklenicka chipped up to nearly 150,000 and Mahmudi was eliminated from the tournament.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Rachid El Yaacoubi raised to 1,600 from under the gun, Bela Ignasz three-bet to 4,500 from the hijack, then Enrico Camosci four-bet to 10,500. El Yaacoubi then pushed all in for 21,000, which sent Ignasz deep into the tank. The floor were called and Ignasz eventually folded.

Camosci was already pot committed, shrugged and put his chips in the middle to put El Yaacoubi at risk.

Rachid El Yaacoubi: A♣K♠ All in
Enrico Camosci: A♦J♦

"I think I have one out," said Camosci. "You had a jack, right?" he said to Ignasz.

From one out to many, the flop came K♦6♦8♣ to give Camosci a flush draw and El Yaacoubi a pair of kings. The turn was a blank, the Q♣, but the river came the 7♦ to complete Camosci's flush. He won the pot and El Yaacoubi was sent to the rail.
