Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Salvatore Patti opened to 50,000 from under the gun and Anthony Smith three-bet jammed a stack of 219,000 from a few seats over before Serge Badel four-bet jammed for 365,000 from late position. Patti called with both opponents covered.

Anthony Smith: J♦J♣ All in
Serge Badel: A♠K♦ All in
Salvatore Patti: Q♥Q♠

Patti's queens held up for a double knockout as the board ran out 10♦8♦3♠3♣3♥ to improve him to a full house, denying Smith his requested "one time."

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Boris Kuzmanovic was in the small blind with a raise of 200,000 in front of him before Samatar Gelle reraised to 625,000 in the big blind. Kuzmanovic then shoved for 980,000, and Gelle quickly called.

Boris Kuzmanovic: A♠K♦ All in
Samatar Gelle: Q♣Q♠

Around 2,000,000 was at stake in the classic flip, and Kuzmanovic took the lead as the flop came A♥K♥6♥ to give him two pair. The rest of the board ran out 2♥3♠ and Kuzmanovic doubled up.

At another table, Peter Turmezey had raised to 50,000 in the cutoff and Antonio Poncio called in the small blind. Martin Zamani then moved all in for 720,000 in the big blind.

Turmezey quickly folded, but Poncio took a few minutes before showing the A♣ and tossing it into the muck. Zamani burst into laughter as he flashed the 2♦ while taking in the pot.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

A post-break aroma of smoke enveloped the table as Martin Zamani opened from under the gun while engaging in a conversation about conspiracies with Peter Turmezey across the table.

As the two talked, Antonio Poncio three-bet to 150,000 to bring a fold from Zamani, who faked a peek at his opponent's cards after Poncio slid them in Zamani's direction.

Eros Calderone and Nazar Buhaiov built a pot of around 200,000 as they went heads-up to the K♦8♥10♣ flop. Calderone then bet 80,000 from under the gun and Buhaiov called in the big blind.

Both players checked the 6♠ turn. Buhaiov then led out for 125,000 on the 7♦ river, and Calderone called.

Buhaiov showed Q♠J♠ for a missed straight draw, while Calderone had 7♥7♠ for a rivered set to take the pot.
