Level 7 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Three ways to the A♠J♥2♦5♥ turn, the action checked to Sebastian Piatek and he made it 7,000 to go. Marek Rous opted for a pot-sized raise to 31,000 and Emily Perrinjaquet folded. Piatek pondered about his decision for a few seconds and got out of the way as well.

Joining the action on the 10♦8♦8♣ flop, August Schlegl and Oswin Ziegelbecker checked to Fabian Riebau-Schmithals who bet the pot for 15,000. Only Ziegelbecker called and checked the 2♥ turn. Riebau-Schmithals now bet the pot again for 76,400 and Ziegelbecker folded after some consideration.

Level 7 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

With around 85,000 in the middle to the Q♣J♣7♠ flop, a three-way all-in emerged with Eran Carmi as the shortest stack involved against Glib Karpov and Thiago Silva De Morgado.

Eran Carmi: Q♥J♥10♦9♥
Glib Karpov: A♣Q♠9♣8♥
Thiago Silva De Morgado: A♥A♠J♦5♥

When Silva De Morgado saw the cards of his opponents, he gasped an "oh shit" as he was drawing quite thin.

Carmi was ahead with two pair and a straight draw while Karpov had outs with the gutshot and nut flush draw. Nothing changed with the 4♠ turn and K♦ river as the stacks were counted. Carmi tripled for 138,100 to soar to the top while Karpov was covered by Silva De Morgado in the much smaller side pot.

"Sometimes you just gotta triple up," Carmi joked with a big smile on the face when raking in the gargantuan pot.

Level 7 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

The turn showed J♦9♦3♠10♣ and Leonid Yanovski had checked over to Piero Alioto, who bet 55,000.

"How much is in the pot?" Yanovski inquired and then moved all-in when it was confirmed to be 78,400. Alioto only had a few chips more to call and did so swiftly.

Leonid Yanovski: A♠Q♦J♠9♣
Piero Alioto: A♥K♥K♠5♥

Alioto was trailing with his overpair and gutshot, which remained to be the case on the 8♠ river. Yanovski improved from two pair to a straight and doubled for 74,300.

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Mikkel Plum limped in and called a raise to 8,000 by Marco Di Persio, which led them to the Q♥J♥5♠ flop. Both checked to the 8♦ turn on which Plum bet 12,000 and Di Persio flat-called.

They checked down the 5♣ river and Plum shrugged, exposing A♣10♣10♠Xx.

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Dominik Paus checked the 10♠5♥4♥9♠ turn out of the big blind, which prompted a pot-sized bet of Eran Carmi for 45,500. Paus reluctantly called and then jammed the 7♣ river for 45,700.

Carmi went into the tank and ended up folding. Paus showed only one card, which happened to be the A♠.
