Level 4
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Zolte Ilze opened to 1,500 from early position and received a call from Charly Maitre, before Steven Penney produced a three-bet to 6,400. Action folded back to Ilze, who called, while Maitre got out of the way.
On the J♥7♦6♠ flop, Ilze check-called in the face of a bet of 6,400 from Penney.
That was the end of the action as the 6♦ turn and A♦ river were checked through.
Penney tabled Q♠Q♥ for second pair queens, and Ilze mucked.

: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
A player opened to 1,600, and received calls from Uwe Behrendt and another player, before Corentin Soulier three-bet jammed from the small blind for 21,400. Metin Aslan was in the big blind, and he moved his stack of around 19,700 into the middle.
The opener folded, but Behrendt also moved his chips into the middle with the covering stack.
Metin Aslan: K♥K♠ 
Corentin Soulier: A♦J♠
Uwe Behrendt: 7♠6♠
Aslan looked in great shape for a triple-up, and remained ahead after the J♣7♦4♦ flop and 10♦ turn. However Soulier had the nut flush draw and the 2♦ rolled off on the river to send him the pot.

"You almost got me" said Jansen as he raked in the pot.

A pot of around 4,600 had developed by the turn on a board of Q♣8♦5♥3♦, in a hand between Tigran Piloyan on the button and Julien Stropoli in the big blind.
Stropoli checked to Piloyan, who fired out a bet of 2,000. Stropoli took some time to think, before he reached for chips and produced a check-raise to 8,000.
Piloyan went into the tank, seemingly reluctant to end the hand, but he did ultimately fold.

Metin Aslan opened to 1,200 from early position, and received a call from Patrick West in the small blind.
The Q♣10♣2♠ flop was checked through to the 8♣ turn, where West led out with a bet of 1,500, which failed to shake off Aslan.
The 7♥ river completed the board, and West continued with a downsized bet of 1,500. After some thought, Aslan elected to let it go.
