Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Boris Angelov bet 13,000 from the button on a board of K♣J♣6♥4♣ and Stephane Guelpa raised to 27,000 in the big blind. Angelov then moved all in and Guelpa tanked for a few minutes before calling for 20,500 more.

Guelpa showed K♥5♣ for top pair, but he was already drawing dead as Angelov had 10♣2♣ for a flush. The river was the J♥ and Guelpa was sent to the rail.

Luke Schwartz raised to 4,500 in the hijack and Rafael Navas three-bet to 11,500 on the button. Leo Worthington-Leese then moved all in for 100,000 in the small blind and Navas couldn't call fast enough after making sure Schwartz had folded.

Leo Worthington-Leese: 8♥8♣ All in
Rafael Navas: A♣A♦

Navas had woken up with aces to leave Worthington-Leese at risk as the board ran out 6♠5♥2♠4♦10♥, sending Worthington-Leese to the rail.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action was on the flop in a reraised pot on a board of 9♠10♥2♠ and Vidar Oie continued for 6,000, which Filipe Baptista called. The turn came the 4♦ and Oie led out again, this time for 26,000. Baptiste called again.

On the 4♠ river, Oie shoved all in, which sent Baptiste deep into the tank. He counted out his stack, which was around 68,000, rubbed his face, then eventually mucked his hand to give Oie the pot.

Miki Vea Garcia open-raised from the button, Boris Kuzmanovic three-bet to 18,000 from the small blind, and Garcia called.

Miki Vea Garcia: K♠10♠ All in
Boris Kuzmanovic: A♦9♦

Garcia had top two pair and Kuzmanovic had the nut flush draw. The turn came the 9♣ to give Kuzmanovic a few more outs, but the river came a blank, the J♣, to give Garcia a huge double up to close to 300,000.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Vitalijs Korhs raised to 4,000 in the cutoff and Jeremie Beneteau called on the button. Miguel Lorenzo then three-bet to 18,000 in the small blind and only Beneteau called.

The flop came 10♣3♦2♥ and Lorenzo continued for 20,000. Beneteau called and both players checked the 10♠ turn.

The river was the K♣ and Lorenzo moved all in for 73,500. Beneteau spent nearly five minutes in the tank before Korhs called the clock. Beneteau took a few more seconds and eventually called as Lorenzo showed A♣7♣ for ace-high. Beneteau turned over 6♥6♣ and won the pot with two pair to send Lorenzo to the rail.
