Maxime Taldir

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The action was picked up on board of 4♣J♣J♠6♣ with roughly 300,000 in the pot after Julian Pineda Lozano in middle position bet 90,000. Lucas Silva Rocha in the big blind went into the tank and called.

The 3♥ river landed on the felt and after Silva Rocha checked, Pineda Lozano moved all-in for 1,100,000.

Silva Rocha was ready to throw his cards into the muck, but at the last moment, he took them back to think for a few more seconds. He eventually folded.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

A pot of around 150,000 had brewed between Sebastian Ionita in the cutoff and Panagiotis Pantazis on the button with the flop reading 10♠Q♥J♥. Ionita checked and then called a bet of 45,000 from Pantazis.

The J♠ turn and 4♠ river didn't incentivize anybody to bet, then Ionita showed K♦Q♠ for a pair of queens at showdown. Pantazis had that beat as he flipped A♣Q♦ for a pair of queens with an ace-kicker, and that brought his stack well over the seven-figure mark.

Panagiotis Pantazis	1,100,000 348,000	348,000

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Didrik Mantor and Tomasz Brzezinski went to the turn on a board of K♠4♦3♣6♣ when Brzezinski bet 65,000 from middle position. Mantor then moved all in from the small blind, and Brzezinski snap-called for 420,000.

Brzezinski turned over A♥K♥ for top pair, while Mantor was on a flush draw holding A♣Q♣. The Q♠ river gave Mantor a pair, but it wasn't enough as he handed over most of his stack.

Cesar Garcia opened to 24,000 from middle position. [Removed:551] in the cutoff three-bet to 52,000, then Garcia moved all-in for approximately 800,000. Jelicka looked at the screen and called with almost 300,000.

[Removed:551]: A♦Q♦ All in
Cesar Garcia: 10♣10♠

After a flop of 4♦4♣J♠, [Removed:552] took the lead on the A♣ turn. Garcia started to grab some chips to pay him, but his action changed when he hit the 10♦ river to give him a full house and send [Removed:552] to the rail.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Ronnie Lemmens was in the big blind and raised enough to put Carlos Garcia all in, and Garcia called for his last 250,000 under the gun.

Carlos Garcia: A♥A♣ All in
Ronnie Lemmens: A♦K♦

Garcia had picked up two aces and was a big favorite to double up as the flop came K♣9♠10♣, giving Lemmens some hope with a pair. The turn was the K♠ and the table let out a collective gasp after Lemmens spiked trips. The 9♣ river improved Lemmens to a full house, and Garcia was sent to the rail with nothing more than a bad-beat story.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Michael Uguccioni opened to 24,000 from the cutoff and Heitor Maciel called from the small blind. Yohan Rascar also came along from the big blind.

They went to a flop of 7♣3♠2♣, which checked through to the 4♥ turn. Maciel led out for 30,000, Rascar folded, and Uguccioni called.

A 2♥ on the river paired the board and Maciel wasted no time in announcing a bet of 110,000. Just as quickly as Maciel bet, Uguccioni folded.

Adi Rajkovic: 10♥10♦ All in
Mohamed Aissani: K♦Q♠
