Hans Nothofer limped from early position before Manduca Borg made it from 5,500 from middle position. Ho Cheung moved all-in for 15,000 from the small blind and then Massimo Bruno jammed for 54,500.

Nothofer eventually folded after two minutes and Borg called as the covering stack.

Ho Cheung: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Massimo Bruno: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Manduca Borg: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Nothofer claimed he folded jacks and he would live to regret his decision as the flop came down with the {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. Cheung was on course for a triple up while Bruno had one hand on the side pot.

The {j-Diamonds} turn was a safe card for both at-risk players and the {5-Spades} completed the board.

Level 9 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

On a very connected board of {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, Michal Majtyka moved all-in for 37,000. He was snap-called by Steven Wendt who turned over {7-Clubs}{7-Spades} for a boat. Majtyka showed {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for a busted flush which left him with 16,000 chips.

The very next hand Majtyka moved all-in for 16,000 and was called by Steven Wendt.

Steven Wendt: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Michal Majtyka: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}

A flop of {3-Spades}{4-Spades}{10-Clubs} gave top pair to Majtyka as well as the nut flush draw, which came on the turn when the {5-Spades} landed to secure the pot. The {7-Hearts} completed the community cards.

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Agnes L'Allemend moved all-in from under the gun for 30,000 preflop and was called by Simon Cohen in the small blind.

Agnes L'Allemend: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Simon Cohen: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The runout of {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} was no help for L'Allemend and vacates the room, Cohen is well above average stack.

Action picked up on the turn in a hand between Christina Read (middle position) and Wesley O'Neil (cutoff).

With 16,000 in the middle on the {j-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}{a-Clubs} board, Read bet 10,000 before O'Neil made it 25,000.

Read moved all-in over the top as the covering stack. O'Neil pondered over his options and counted out his remaining 61,000. The clock was called which irked the Englishman.

He decided to fold and Read flipped over her pocket jacks to show her opponent that she had a set.
