Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Manuel Maganuco raised to 1,000 from the hijack before calling a three-bet to 2,400 from Raul Mestre in the cutoff.

When Mestre continued for 1,200 on the Q♦7♣A♠ flop, Maganuco called again.

The 10♦ turn saw Maganuco check for a second time, but on this occasion, he folded when Mestre bet 2,300.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

In the final hand before the blinds increased, Joris Ruijs raised to 700 from the cutoff and faced immediate resistance as Elia Salerno three-bet to 1,700 on the button. The action folded back to Ruijs, who four-bet to 5,200, which Salerno called.

Ruijs continued for 2,700 on the 5♥10♦4♠ flop, and Salerno called again.

The 6♥ turn saw Ruijs fire a more substantial 11,500 into the middle. That gave Salerno pause for thought, but after studying his opponent's stack and then his own, he elected to fold.

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Alex Sampirisi in early position, Maksym Filipovskyi in the cutoff, and David Riera had each put in 2,100 preflop when the dealer fanned the 2♠5♥6♦ flop. Sampirisi checked it over to Filipovskyi, who bet 2,500.

Riera quickly called, and Sampirisi followed suit. The A♥ turn saw Filipovskyi size up to 6,500. This time, both opponents quickly mucked, marking the end of the hand.

John Mooney started the action with a raise to 800 from middle position. A couple of seats to his left, in the cutoff, Mathew Frankland three-bet to 2,200. Hossein Ensan then opted to four-bet from the small blind to 7,900.

Mooney toiled over his decision, ultimately choosing to fold. Frankland wasted no time following suit and returned his cards to the dealer.
