Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
In one of the last hands, before the level went up, Alessandro Pichierri raised to 9,000 from under the gun. Quentin Lecomte three-bet to 27,000 on the button. Action folded back to Pichierri who tanked for a while and then shoved for just over 100,000. Lecomte snap-called.
Alessandro Pichierri: 
Quentin Lecomte: 
The board ran out 
for Lecomte to flop top pair and improve to two pair on the turn to send Pichierri packing.

Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
The flop read 
with 42,000 in the middle already.
Peter de Bruin had checked in the small blind and Fabio Berti bet 12,000 from the early position. Jonathan Therme raised to 30,000 from the middle position and De Bruin responded with a three-bet to 90,000. Berti quickly got out of the way and Therme took a few seconds before announcing he was all-in. De Bruin asked for a count and it was confirmed Therme had 188,500 behind. De Bruin contemplated his options for a while and then made the call.
Jonathan Therme: 
Peter de Bruin: 
De Bruin had flopped top pair but Therme had the set of eights.
The turn was the 
which now gave De Bruin a gutshot to a straight for them to split the pot.
The river completed the board with the 
for Therme to hold and double up.
