Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Yi Ye
Yi Ye

Keith Johnson raised to 16,000 in the hijack, and both Jose Malpelli in the cutoff and Yi Ye in the big blind called.

Ye checked to Johnson, who bet another 16,000 on the 10♣9♦7♦ flop. Malpelli called again, and Ye then went into the tank.

With less than one big blind in her stack, but with the tournament poised on a pay jump, Ye spread all her time extensions out in front of her. One by one, the dealer took them, before Ye then put her 7,000 into the middle.

The Q♥ turn card joined the board, and Johnson check-folded to a bet of 25,000.

Yi Ye: K♣6♣ All in
Jose Malpelli: 3♠3♦

The pocket threes held up on the 5♥ river, and Ye was eliminated.

Seeing the completed board of A♦5♦4♠2♣9♥, with around 200,000 in the pot, Tahar Said checked under the gun before Renzo Pedrotti moved all in for 158,000 in the hijack.

Said went deep into the tank, spending several time banks before flicking in a calling chip. Pedrotti tabled J♠J♦ for a pair of jacks, which won him the pot, as Said had put his opponent on pure air and called with K♣10♥.

Benjamin Heath
Benjamin Heath

Big blind Sergiu Sirghi, Andras Nemeth in the hijack, and Ben Heath on the button got all their chips in the middle preflop. Sirghi played 69,000, and Nemeth was at risk against Heath for his stack of 311,000.

Sergiu Sirghi: A♦K♦ All in
Andras Nemeth: A♠A♣ All in
Ben Heath: J♠J♥

Sirghi flopped the nut flush on 6♦8♦5♦. The 5♣ turn gave both Nemeth and Heath outs, but the river fell the innocuous 7♠, deciding the pot in Sirghi's favor.

He tripled up to a stack of around 35 big blinds, while Nemeth shipped the big side pot with his aces. Heath paid both opponents and was left with just over 20 big blinds heading into the break.

David Lappin opened to 12,000 in middle position, which gathered calls from Ognyan Dimov on the button and Ori Miller in the big blind.

Action checked through on the J♥A♠5♦ flop, and the 10♦ turn joined the board.

Miller and Lappin both checked for a second time, prompting Dimov to bet 15,000. Miller folded, but Lappin called.

The river Q♥ brought a one-liner to a straight, and Lappin opted to lead out with a bet of 21,000. Dimov responded by min-raising to 42,000.

Lappin used a time extension to contemplate his response, ultimately electing to fold.

First to act, Oshri Lahmani raised to 13,000 from under the gun. The action folded all the way around to Eduard Litskan in the big blind, who called.

Litskan checked over to the preflop aggressor on the 7♠5♥Q♥ flop, who bet 10,000, and Litskan called.

The action checked through on the 3♣ turn, prompting Litskan to lead out for 20,000 on the A♠ river.

Lahmani called and flipped over A♣9♣, which was good enough to beat the Q♦4♦ of Litskan.

With a raise to 12,000 from the hijack ahead of him, Benny Glaser three-bet to 33,000 from the button. In the big blind, Hamza Nasir cold four-bet to 90,000. The original raiser folded, but Glaser responded with a five-bet shove for 219,000, which Nasir called.

Benny Glaser: A♠A♦ All in
Hamza Nasir: K♠K♦

There was no bad beat to be dished out, as the dealer spread a J♣6♥2♦Q♣7♥ board, and Glaser scooped in the double up.

Nacho Barbero and Laurent Polito had gathered 38,000 in the blinds when they saw the 4♠2♣5♣ flop. Barbero placed a bet of 17,000, which Polito raised to 65,000. Barbero then moved all in for 121,000, and Polito snap-called.

Nacho Barbero: A♠A♦ All in
Laurent Polito: K♥3♥

Polito's straight draw was not completed on the 10♠ turn or J♠ river, and Barbero's aces held for the double-up.

Over at another table, Julien Veyssiere pushed in his stack of 77,000 from the small blind. Emanvel Hovhannisyan called with a covering stack in the big blind, and the cards were tabled.

Julien Veyssiere: 5♥4♦ All in
Emanvel Hovhannisyan: K♠10♠

The 9♠9♣A♠J♣7♦ runout brought no help for Veyssiere, and he swiftly exited the tournament area.

The action was picked up on the 6♦9♠3♣K♠ turn. Mehdi Chaoui checked from the big blind to Leonard Maue in the cutoff, who added 58,000 to the pot of 85,000 with a bet. Chaoui called, and the dealer placed the A♥ as the river.

Chaoui quickly checked again. After a while, Maue decided on a bet of 125,000. Chaoui instantly flicked in a calling chip for Maue to reveal J♦10♣ for a bluff.

Chaoui showed A♠7♠ for top pair, and he was sent the sizable pot to overtake his opponent in the chip counts.

One table over, Nacho Barbero three-bet shoved for 123,000, over a raise from the player in the cutoff. The original raiser spent some time considering the situation, but ultimately chose to fold.
