: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Christopher Nguyen opened from under the gun with a raise to 4,500, and three players called.
The flop came 10♥3♥6♥, and [Removed:607], first to act from the small blind, bet 2,000. Juan Pardo in the big blind called, and when the action returned to Nguyen, he raised to 15,000. Only Ben Heath in the hijack stayed in to see the 8♥ turn.
Nguyen checked the turn, Heath fired 33,000, and Nguyen quickly folded, giving the pot to Heath.

: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Having recently lost a couple of pots, Mikita Badziakouski found himself in the cutoff facing a raise to 4,000 from under-the-gun player Jamil Wakil. Badziakouski decided to get back in the saddle and put in a three-bet to 14,000, which Wakil called.
The dealer provided the A♣A♥3♦ flop, which saw Wakil check-call a bet of 9,000.
Badziakouski turned up the heat on the 6♣ turn, placing a bet of 50,000 when Wakil checked for a second time.
This was enough to see Wakil let go of his cards and return Badziakouski to winning ways.

Seeing a raise to 4,000 ahead of him, [Removed:607] made the call on the button. Acting from the small blind, Juan Pardo put in a three-bet to 23,000. The original raiser folded, but Muller stuck around to see at least three more cards.
Both players checked on the 9♥6♠Q♠ flop before Pardo checked again on the 7♦ turn. [Removed:608] took the invitation to take over the betting lead, placing a bet of 36,000, which Pardo called.
The 8♠ river slowed both players down, seeing both of them check.
Pardo flipped over Q♥10♥, revealing he had rivered a straight. [Removed:608] mucked his cards, and the dealer pushed the pot in the direction of Pardo.

The action was joined on the river with 41,000 already in the pot, and under-the-gun player Mikita Badziakouski locked in battle with big blind Dejan Kaladjurdjevic.
With the full board showing 9♣6♦A♠6♠K♥, Kaladjurdjevic opted to move all in, an overbet of 64,000. This put Badziakouski deep into the tank, using two of his allotted time extensions before reluctantly folding.
As Badziakouski attempted to find out what his opponent had, Kaladjurdjevic quietly returned his cards to the dealer, face down.

With 18,000 already in the pot and a board of J♦10♦K♠Q♦, Adrian Mateos checked to Dejan Kaladjurdjevic, who led out with a 6,000 bet. Mateos called.
On the 10♠ river, Mateos checked again, and Kaladjurdjevic used three time bank cards before finally checking back, sending the hand to showdown.
Mateos revealed K♦J♣ for two pair, kings and jacks, but Kaladjurdjevic showed K♣Q♠ for the higher two pair, letting out a victorious, “Yes!” as he took the pot.

The pot was around 20,500 with a board of 4♦Q♦10♥4♠ when Mikita Badziakouski opened for 6,000 from the big blind. [Removed:548] in the cutoff made the call.
On the A♥ river, Badziakouski fired 3,000, but [Removed:549] took his time before raising to 28,000. The move was enough to make Badziakouski fold, giving the pot to [Removed:549].

Juan Pardo started the action with a raise from under the gun to 4,000. When play folded to Bernhard Binder in the big blind, he opted to three-bet to 15,000. Pardo didn't take too long before sliding a tower of chips into the middle, signalling a four-bet which was enough to cover Binder's remaining 68,500 stack. Binder called, and the players flipped their cards over.
Bernhard Binder: Q♠Q♥ 
Juan Pardo: A♣K♥
The classic poker flip had Pardo behind, but it didn't take long to catch up.
A K♦J♥5♣ flop saw Pardo improve to top pair, and when the dealer completed the board with the 6♥ turn and 8♦ river, there was no reprieve for Binder, who headed to the exit.
