Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Dragan Ignjatovski raised to 2,100 from under the gun, gathering calls from Kalvinder Rakhra in the cutoff and Glen Williams in the big blind.

The action checked to Rakhra on the 7♠9♣6♥ flop, who bet 7,000. Williams called, and Ignjatovski folded.

The turn 2♦ saw Williams check again, and Rakhra put a more substantial 12,000 into the middle. Williams wasted little time in check-raising all in, covering Rakhra's remaining stack of 26,400. After taking some time to consider the situation, a distressed-looking Rakhra made the call.

Kalvinder Rakhra: 7♣7♥ All in
Glen Williams: 9♠6♠

Williams had flopped two pair, but was a long way behind the set of Rakhra.

The river A♣ had no bearing on the outcome, and Rakhra scooped in the pot.

Bene Gets Maximum Value

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

The action was joined as Jacqueline Cachia was competing for a pot versus Zoltan Bene, button versus big blind.

The full board was already out, showing A♣4♣A♦J♦6♣, and there was roughly 24,000 in the middle.

Bene moved all in for 12,000, which sent Cachia deep into the tank. After Bene felt sufficient time had passed, he called the clock on Cachia. Before any countdown had started, Cachia made the call, letting Bene know that if he had a flush, he had the best hand.

Bene seemed to believe he didn't have the best hand, though, as when Cachia called, he stood up, preparing to leave. Whilst standing, he flipped over A♠7♠, which was in fact the best hand, as Cachia rolled over A♥3♥.

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Gemma Thomas raised to 2,500 from early position, seeing only Vilmos Farkas call.

When Thomas checked on the 7♥5♣3♥ flop, Farkas took over the betting lead. He put 2,500 into the middle, which Thomas called.

A second barrel was enough to claim the pot for Farkas, as he bet 7,000 on the K♣ turn, seeing Thomas fold.

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Seeing an under-the-gun raise to 1,600 and one call ahead of him, Dimitrios Stavaris called from the cutoff. This enticed the button, small blind and big blind in too.

Action checked to Stavaris on the 2♦10♠7♥ flop, and when he bet 5,100, that was enough to scare the rest of the table away. Everybody folded, seeing the pot pushed his direction, unchallenged.
