Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Viet Vo
Viet Vo

Umberto Ruggeri bet 3,900 from the hijack on a flop of K104 and Julien Mariani called in the small blind. Viet Vo then raised to 17,000 in the big blind and Ruggeri called, while Mariani took a minute before folding.

The turn was the 10 and Vo put in his last 2,600. Ruggeri called with KQ for top pair, while Vo was on a flush draw with J2. The 9 river completed his flush as Ruggeri flung his arms in the air in frustration while Vo yelled out "Vamonos!" and took in the pot.

Brito Silva Survives a Flip, Cabello Misclicks

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Pablo Brito Silva raised to 2,500 in early position and Rikiya Jindo three-bet to 9,000 in the hijack. Imanol Cabello in the small blind didn't realize Jindo had raised and just called Brito Silva's initial raise. The floor had to be called over, and Cabello was forced to keep his 2,500 in the pot and given the option to call the 9,000.

He eventually put in the extra chips, but Brito Silva then moved all in for 19,000. Jindo reshoved and Cabello let out a laugh before folding.

Pablo Brito Silva: 88 All in
Rikiya Jindo: AK

Brito Silva was racing for his tournament life, and the 975JQ board proved safe as Brito Silva doubled up.

Kalapish Spikes River to Bust Two Players

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Javier Tazón
Javier Tazón

Three players were piling their chips in the middle preflop as PokerNews caught up with the action. Akim Aouine was all in for around 25,000 from late position, Javier Tazon was all in for 35,000 to his left, and Petar Kalapish called with both players covered. Players flipped their cards.

Akim Aouine: AJ All in
Javier Tazon: KK All in
Petar Kalapish: JJ

Tazon was in great shape with his pocket kings as the flop came 8QQ and the 3 turn changed nothing. The river, however, came the J to give Kalapish a full house, jacks full of queens.

Kalapish won the pot, eliminating both Aouine and Tazon during the last level of play.
