David Salituro

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Samuel Baruk moved all in for 25,500 in middle position, Wilfried Haselmayer reshoved in the small blind, and the rest of the table got out of the way.

Samuel Baruk: A♦A♥ All in
Wilfried Haselmayer: 10♦10♣

Baruk took out his phone and began filming the action but didn't have much to worry about as the A♣4♦5♠ flop gave him top set.

"Deuce," Haselmayer joked as the board ran out 7♠K♥, earning Baruk the double up. Haselmayer was left with around 25,000 and was eliminated shortly afterward.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Giammarco Vergoni moved all in with a short stack of 8,500 from early position and Nicolas Lecoeuvre called from the next seat across. Felix Schneiders then raised it up to 75,000, the majority of his stack, and Lecoeuvre folded to leave two players to flip their cards.

Giammarco Vergoni: A♥8♦ All in
Felix Schneiders: A♠K♣

The board ran out 5♠7♥7♦2♠K♠ and Schneiders improved to a pair of kings, two pair with the sevens on board. He won the pot and Vergoni was among those sent to an early exit.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Heads-up on a board of 8♠2♣5♦9♠, Till Suplika moved all in for 20,500 from the big blind and Artem Shaganov called in the cutoff.

Shaganov turned over 8♦8♥ for a flopped set, but Suplika had turned a set holding 9♦9♥ and was poised for a double up until the 8♣ came on the river to give Shaganov quads.

"Let me take a picture. Wow, what a hand," Shaganov said as several players at the table took out their phones to capture the board. Suplika, still smiling despite falling victim to a one-outer, came over to give Shaganov a fist bump before making his exit.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

In a blind versus blind battle, Anh Do bet 7,000 on a board of 10♣6♥7♣5♦ and Darius Gadeikis raised to 22,000. Do then moved all in for 45,000 and Gadeikis snap-called.

Do showed 10♥7♥ for two pair, but Gadeikis had flopped a straight with 9♠8♦. The river was the 6♦ and Do was sent to the rail.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Adrian Cazacu raised to 3,000 in the hijack and Gerard Carbo called on the button. Isaac Haxton then moved all in for his last 8,000 in the small blind and Cazacu took a minute before eventually folding, but Carbo snap-called.

Isaac Haxton: K♥J♥ All in
Gerard Carbo: A♦A♠

Carbo shared a laugh with Cazacu after turning over his slow-played aces, while Haxton needed serious help to stay alive. The 7♦5♦6♥9♣5♥ board failed to improve Haxton and he was sent to the rail.

"It was a good fold," Carbo joked with Cazacu after the hand.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Maher Achour was seen taking his leave as his top pair and flush draw fell victim to Mehdi Rebai's set of nines. The rest of the chips were piled in on the turn on a board of 6♠A♦4♠9♥.

Achour had A♠K♠ and Rebai had 9♣9♠. The river came the Q♣ and Rebai held to win the pot.

"Well played mate," commented Spraggy, perhaps with a little sarcasm. Felix Schneiders commented that he folded pocket jacks.

Boris Kolev: 6♦6♥ All in
Imanol Cabello: J♠J♥

Boris was crushed by Cabello's jacks and fell further behind on the J♣4♠9♣ flop as Cabello hit top set. The rest of the board came A♦K♣ and Kolev was sent to the rail.
