Marcin Lesniewski: 10♣3♦ All in

Di Giacomo called, and the players saw a 7♥4♠4♥ flop.

Di Giacomo check-raised to 725,000 after facing a 275,000 bet by Berruel.

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

It folded to Amato Landi in the small blind, who wagered his entire stack of 1,200,000 with an all-in bet. Lulei Hu quickly called in the big blind, covering his neighbor.

Amato Landi: Q♥8♥ All in
Lulei Hu: A♦6♣

Hu remained ahead by pairing on the 6♠5♦4♥ flop, but Landi struck back on the 8♠ turn to take the lead. The 10♦ river provided Hu with neither a chop nor a win, meaning Landi was awarded a double-up.

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Yoshihiro Inoue opened his button to 225,000. Scott Margereson defended his big blind, after which the K♣3♠4♥ flop was fanned. Inoue continued for 125,000, which Margereson check-raised to 375,000.

After Inoue called, both players checked through the 5♣ turn. The 7♣ river saw Margereson re-aggress, announcing a bet of 950,000. Inoue called before Margereson's chips had even hit the felt.

The Japanese player tabled 4♠4♣ for a set, but it was no good against the K♠6♣ of Margereson, who had made a backdoor straight to win the sizable pot.

"I'm not going to Bulgaria," Urban said to Bogdanov.

Urban then opened to 200,000 again in the cutoff, and Bogdanov three-bet to 500,000 on the button. Urban moved all in for 1,700,000, and Bogdanov snap-folded once again.
