Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Early Position bet 2,200 and was raised by the cutoff to 6,000. The button moved all in for 34,000. Flavien Delestre in the big blind moved in over the top which got the other players to fold.

Button: 9♥9♦
Flavien Delestre: K♣K♠

Delestre stayed perfectly still despite all the action kicking off before him. There was no help for the button on a board of A♥7♠6♣Q♠Q♥ and was sent to the rail.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With 13,500 in the middle on a completed board of 8♦7♥2♥3♥7♦, Glenn Davies bet 5,200 from the small blind.

Felix Schneiders on the button went deep into the tank. After a couple of minutes of silence, Davies quipped "Have you got pocket fives?"

A stunned Schneiders turned his hand over to reveal 5♦5♠ and threw his cards into the muck. Schneiders appeared to be spooked by Davies's telepathic powers!
