Andre checked the J♥ river, and Nazari bet 35,000. Youenn check-raised to 70,00,0 and Nazari folded, conceding the pot to Andre.

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

Jan-Willem Nijmeijer: 10♦10♠ All in
Tamazi Skhirtladze: A♣K♣

Nijmeijer didn't hold for long and stood as the 3♥A♠Q♥ flop was dealt.

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

Three players saw a flop of 7♣A♥9♣ when Lulei Hu bet 10,000 from the hijack. Only Mihails Morozovs called in the small blind.

The turn was the J♣ and Hu bet 15,000. Morozovs called for his last 12,000 with Q♣10♣ for a flush, while Hu had A♠5♠. The river was the 5♦ and Morozovs doubled up.

Enrico Camosci wandered by the table during the hand. "Your Italian friend. Who is better?" Mahmoud Bedoui said to Umberto Ruggeri, who humbly pointed to Camosci.

At another table, Ali Cicioglu had opened to 4,000 in early position and Eitan Cohen called in middle position. Toni Ravnak then three-bet to 16,000 in the hijack, and only Cicioglu called.

The flop came K♣2♥4♥ and Ravnak continued for 8,000. Cicioglu then raised to 26,500, and Ravnak called.

The 6♦ fell on the turn and Cicioglu checked to Ravnak, who moved all in for 40,000. Cicioglu gave up his hand.

Laura Fryer

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

Slobodan Ruzicic was all in for his remaining 46,500 from the small blind and Bjorn Kozenkai asked for a count before calling from the big blind.

Slobodan Ruzicic: A♦7♠ All in
Bjorn Kozenkai: A♥10♣

Ruzicic was behind and needed some help, but the 10♦9♠9♦ flop was good for Kozenkai.

Ruzicic moved back his chair, prepared to stand and leave the tournament area on the 5♦ turn, but it also brought in a diamond flush draw.

Ruzicic was saved on the J♦ river and he pulled back in his chair, leaving his opponent Kozenkai short.
