Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
With around 5,500 in the pot on a board of 9♥5♦7♦K♦, Thierry Amirault bet 2,500 from under the gun and Daniel Zimbru called in the hijack.
The river was the 4♠ and Amirault quickly fired out 6,000. Zimbru spent several minutes shuffling the chips to call in his hand, but eventually decided to surrender the pot.
Leonidas Kostagiolas reentered after busting during the first level and took his new seat at this table.

There was already around 7,000 in the pot as Florian Duta and Jose Maria Villen went heads-up to a flop of 9♠6♠J♣. Villen then bet 2,500 from the hijack and Duta called in middle position.
Both players checked the 2♣ turn. Duta then led out for 1,400 on the 8♣ river and Villen tanked for a minute before calling.
Duta turned over Q♥Q♦ and Villen mucked.

Oleg Furman raised to 600 in middle position and Mariusz Golinski three-bet to 2,200 on the button. Eric Afriat then four-bet to 5,200 in the big blind.
Furman five-bet to 10,500 and Golinski six-bet to 15,700. Afriat took a moment before tossing his cards into the muck, while Furman moved all in for 26,000. Golinski snap-called.
Oleg Furman: K♠K♣ 
Mariusz Golinski: A♦A♣
"I had ace-king," Afriat admitted as Golinski turned over two aces. Furman was looking for the last king in the deck but couldn't find any miracles on the 8♦3♣2♣2♠6♥ board and was sent to the rail.
"Too bad you didn't have kings," Golinski joked with Afriat.
"Give me back my 5,000," Afriat added.

Two players were stacking off preflop with Petr Hruska pushing his stack into the middle from the button for a total of around 30,000. Bracher quickly called with the covering stack in late position and players flipped their cards.
Petr Hruska: A♠Q♦
Franz Bracher: K♥K♣
Hruska needed some help, but found none as the board ran out 5♣4♣8♠2♦2♥. Bracher held with his pocket kings to win the pot, near-doubling his stack and sending Hruska to the rail.

Max Neugebauer bet 1,000 from the button on a flop of K♣5♣4♣ and Antoine Labat called in middle position.
The turn was the 3♣ and Neugebauer bet another 3,000. Labat quickly called to see the Q♠ river, where Neugebauer bet 10,000.
Labat, who was leaning over the table getting a massage, tanked for a few minutes before putting in the chips to call. Neugebauer turned over A♠Q♣ for a flush and Labat mucked.
"I was sure you were bluffing," tablemate Mark Teltscher said to Neugebauer after the hand.
