The flop came A♥8♥2♠ and Vos checked to the aggressor. Eichler continued for 2,800 and Vos called. The turn was the 3♠ and Vos checked again. Eichler sized up to 9,200 and Vos mucked his hand to concede the pot.

The flop of 4♦7♣2♣ was already out at Table #9 when Shlomo Angel moved all in for 6,000 and was called by Refael Dahan.

Shlomo Angel: A♥4♣ All in
Refael Dahan: 7♥7♦

Angel needed a lot of help to win the hand, but the 8♦ and 8♥ turn and river were no help to him and he exited the tournament, while Dahan improved to a full house and added more chips to his stack.

Aleksandr Tomovic opened to 700 from the cutoff and was three-bet to 2,500 by Espen Jorstad on the button. Just behind him, Kanchan Sharma four-bet to 7,000 in the small blind, which was met with a fold from Tomovic and a five-bet from Jorstad for enough to put Sharma all in for her last 11,500.

Sharma thought better of it and let her hand go, conceding the pot to Jorstad.

A Set of Jacks Sends Schwaederle Packing

Sava Krink

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Nikita Kuznetcov set the stage with an under-the-gun raise to 700, quickly finding a caller in [Removed:548] on the button. Cedric Schwaederle upped the ante from the small blind, three-betting to 2,800. After some deliberation and a glance at his opponents’ stacks, Phil Gross made the call from the big blind. When the action circled back to Kuznetcov, he wasted no time shoving his entire 28,600-chip stack into the middle.

[Removed:549] bowed out, but Schwaederle called for his remaining 18,600, putting the pressure squarely on Gross. With both players covered, Gross decided to take his chances and called, sending the pot to a three-way showdown:

Cedric Schwaederle: K♦K♥ All in
Nikita Kuznetcov: J♣J♦ All in
Phil Gross: Q♥J♥

The flop came 6♦3♥4♠, leaving Schwaederle's kings in the lead.

However, the turn brought the J♠, completing a set for Kuznetcov and flipping the script.

Schwaederle still had outs for a river king, but the 8♦ fell instead, sealing the massive pot for Kuznetcov. Schwaederle’s tournament run came to an abrupt end, while Gross saw his gamble fall short.

Player	Chips	Progress
Nikita Kuznetcov	76,900
[Removed:548]	35,000
Phil Gross	15,600 15,400	15,400

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

A pot of around 12,000 had brewed between Omar Del Pino in the small blind and Javier Tazon in the big blind.

The board read 8♥7♥7♠10♥A♣ and Del Pino had fired a small bet of 1,000 on the river, then Tazon had announced a raise and made it 13,500. After some time, Del Pino then moved all in, which gave Tazon a test for the 13,000 he had behind. With a shrug of the shoulders, Tazon needed just a few seconds to make the call.

Del Pino then revealed 10♠3♠ for a pair of tens, but that was no match for the top boat of Tazon, who held A♠A♦.

Javier Tazon	65,000 20,000	20,000

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Josef Gulas opened to 800 on the button and was called by Jaromir Hanel in the small blind. Vladislav Solovev squeezed to 3,800 from the big blind, which got a call from Gulas and a fold from Hanel.

Solovev check-called a 3,000 bet from Gulas on the A♦J♠10♥ flop and checked again after the 2♠ landed on the turn.

Gulas bet approximately 6,000 and Solovev raised enough to put Gulas all in for 17,400 total. Gulas snap-called and hands were revealed.

Josef Gulas: K♥Q♦ All in
Vladislav Solovev: A♣10♦

Gulas had flopped the nuts, leaving Solovev drawing to four outs for a full house.

The 9♦ river bricked out and Gulas was awarded the double up while Solovev was left short with just 7,000.

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Daniel Custodio opened to 700 from early position, and Itai Levy made the call. The action folded to Erkan Sonmez, who moved all in for 6,100. Custodio folded his hand, and Levy said, "I don't like it," before making the call.

Erkan Sonmez: A♦7♠ All in
Itai Levy: A♠Q♠

The dealer put out a full board of 6♠5♦6♣8♦8♥, resulting in a chop pot. "You see? I don't like it," Levy joked as he split the pot with his opponent.
