Level 31 : Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Samuel Ju limped in from the small blind and called when he faced a raise to 425,000 by David Djian in the big blind.

The players checked through the 9♥5♦8♥ flop and 5♠ turn, prompting the dealer to place the 7♠ on the river. Ju checked a third time, but Djian added 750,000 to the pot with a bet.

Ju was visibly displeased with the situation, but could not get away from his A♥9♦ and called off. His intuition proved to be correct, as Djian tabled 6♥2♦ for a straight to win the pot and reclaim the lead.

Samuel Ju opened his button to 350,000, holding A♥9♠. Jose Malpelli called with 7♥7♣in the big blind and checked the subsequent 5♠7♠J♠ flop over to Ju.

Ju bet 250,000, but quickly folded when Malpelli raised to 800,000 with his three sevens.

The next hand, Malpelli limped in from the small blind. Bernhard Binder checked in the big blind, after which both players checked the 4♦A♦9♣ flop. Malpelli checked again on the 3♥ turn before he called Binder's bet of 300,000.

Both players wanted to show down after the 7♦ river, and Malpelli's Q♠9♥ won the pot against Binder's 9♠6♥ after a couple of checks.

Level 31 : Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

David Djian opened to 300,000 as first to act. It folded to Samuel Ju in the big blind, who opted to defend. After the 2♣J♣A♦ flop checked through, Ju took a stab at the pot with a bet of 175,000 on the 2♠ turn.

Djian called to the J♠ river, which was quickly checked to showdown. Ju showed king-high with K♥10♠, leaving Djian to take the pot with 6♥6♦.

On the next shuffle, Bernhard Binder made it 300,000 to go in the cutoff with 8♠8♣. Djian was in the big blind and defended 6♥6♦, check-calling when Binder placed 200,000 on the 7♠Q♠3♥ flop.

Both players took the passive route on the 7♥ turn and checked, prompting Djian to bet 375,000 on the A♦ river.

Binder gave it some thought but ultimately mucked his higher pair as another pot was sent Djian's way.

Level 31 : Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

It folded to the short-stacked Jose Malpelli in the small blind, who moved his last 2,325,000 over the line with 8♥7♥. Bernhard Binder gave it some thought in the big blind with A♠4♠, but did not want to risk the chips and mucked.

On the next deal, Malpelli was on the button with 8♠8♥. He raised to 500,000, taking down the blinds and antes when Binder and Roman Stoica moved out of the way.

Longmao Fan open-jammed his remaining 775,000 in the hijack, and Bernhard Binder made the call in the small blind.

Longmao Fan: K♦7♦ All in
Bernhard Binder: 6♠6♥

Fan flopped a flush draw on 2♣3♦A♦ to gain some outs, but the 3♠ turn and 4♠ river saw Binder's sixes hold to dash any hopes of a comeback Fan might have had.

Bernhard Binder raised A♦8♠ to 250,000 in the hijack. Samuel Ju went set-mining with 4♥4♣ on the button, while David Djian came along in the big blind with 6♦5♠.

The trio checked through the 7♠J♠A♠ flop, and Djian checked again on the J♥ turn. Binder elected to bet 225,000, seeing his opponents fold in quick succession to take the chips in the middle.

Roman Stoica was on the button. He raised to 250,000 once it had folded around to him, which Longmao Fan three-bet to 750,000 in the big blind.

Stoica moved all in for 2,275,000 after little thought, and Fan snap-called him with a covering stack.

Roman Stoica: J♠J♦ All in
Longmao Fan: A♦K♦

A low full house appeared on the 3♥5♦3♠5♥3♦ board, meaning Stoica's jacks held on to double up.

Fan, meanwhile, was left with just over three big blinds in his stack.

David Djian limped in on the button. Bernhard Binder checked his option in the big blind, and checked again when the flop fell 3♣7♠3♠. Djian bet 175,000, which Binder raised to 400,000.

Djian tossed in calling chips to the A♦ turn, which both players checked. The final table was knuckled twice again on the 7♣ river, and Djian won the pot with his 5♠5♦ as Binder played the board with 9♠8♦.
