Mykhailo Ostash opened with an under-the-gun raise and found a caller in Tomasz Brzezinski in the big blind.

Both players checked through the 4♠ turn.

On the 3♣ river, Brzezinski checked once more, and Ostash fired 230,000. Brzezinski called, showing A♣6♦ for a pair of sixes, taking the pot over Ostash’s ace high with A♦2♦.

Tomas Wins With Underpair

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Joao Tomas
Joao Tomas

Joao Tomas raised 4♠4♥ to 80,000 in the cutoff. Juan Pardo flat-called 6♥5♥ in the small blind before Adria Calonge defended K♥9♥ in the big blind.

The 2♣K♦10♦ flop checked to Tomas, who continued with a bet of 100,000. Pardo quickly mucked his suited connector, but Calonge called with top pair.

The 9♦ turn made Tomas give up, checking back after Calonge had done so first. Tomas reevaluated his position after the 3♦ river brought a fourth diamond on the board, as he fired 275,000 after a third check by Calonge.

Calonge instantly released his two pair, seeing Tomas chip up with his successful bluff.

Brzezinski Builds Further

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Aliaksei Boika raised his button to 90,000. Tomasz Brzezinski called in the small blind, and the two went heads up to a K♥6♣10♥ flop. Boika tossed in another 90,000, which Brzezinski check-called.

Boika sized up to 250,000 on the 3♥ turn. Brzezinski matched the bet once more, after which the 8♣ river was checked to showdown.

Brzezinski tabled K♠J♣ for top pair, being awarded the chips when Boika added his cards to the muck.

Faria Tables His Hand Too Early

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Luis Faria
Luis Faria

Luis Faria raised to 80,000 from the cutoff before Ben Heath three-bet to 800,000. Faria must've thought Heath had raised enough to put him all-in as he put in calling chips and then tabled his A♥Q♥. Faria got his math wrong as he still had 485,000 behind after calling the three-bet.

"This is a weird spot," said a sheepish Faria.

The floor ruled that the hand must play out as normal, so the dealer put out the 7♥7♠2♦ flop.

Heath had 9♠9♣ and bet 500,000. Faria used a couple of time banks, before deciding to fold.

Faria Makes an Excellent Check

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Joao Tomas raised to 80,000 from the cutoff. Luis Faria and Adria Calonge called from the button and big blind.

Tomas continued for 125,000 on the 10♣9♣5♥ flop. Faria and Calonge both called.

The Q♠ came in on the turn, where it checked to Faria. He fired out 270,000. Calonge, who had K♥10♥, folded before Tomas called.

The 4♠ river completed the board, and Tomas checked and Faria did the same.

Tomas had A♥A♦ for a pair of aces, and Faria breathed a sigh of relief, despite his A♣Q♣ not being the winner.

Big Pot, No Flop

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Aliaksei Boika
Aliaksei Boika

Action folded to Tom-Aksel Bedell on the button, and he opened with a raise to 100,000. Aliaksei Boika in the big blind responded with a three-bet to 360,000. Bedell then four-bet to 860,000.

Boika took a moment, sizing up his stack, before shoving all-in. Bedell asked the dealer for a count, and when it was confirmed at 1,915,000, Bedell let his hand go with the words: "I didn't like my hand anyway. I have the stupid jacks that never win. I will never raise you with jacks again, I promise you that."

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Adrian Mateos
Adrian Mateos

Aliaksei Boika raised his button to 80,000, receiving a call from Tomasz Brzezinski in the small blind. Adrian Mateos weighed his options for a bit, then moved all in for 925,000.

Boika quickly folded, but Brzezinski snap-called Mateos to put him at risk.

Adrian Mateos: A♥8♣ All in
Tomasz Brzezinski: A♦J♣

Brzezinski flopped a jack on Q♦4♠J♦, leaving Mateos drawing slim. The 4♣ turn gave Brzezinski the checkmark, and Mateos said his goodbyes as the meaningless 10♣ river completed the board.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Luis Faria 9♦9♣ raised to 80,000 and was called by Adria Calonge Q♥J♥ from the button. Calogne overtook Faria, making a pair of jacks on the K♦J♣5♥ flop.

Both players checked it through to the K♥ turn. Calonge made kings and jacks, and also picked up a flush draw just for good measure. Calonge bet 190,000 and Faria folded.
