Level 2 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

With around 18,000 in the middle on a board of A♠9♥8♠8♣, Nicolas Garcia checked from early position, and called a bet of 2,500 from Dejan Prikulovic on the button.

The 7♦ river completed the board, and the same pattern followed, this time in respect of a bet of 7,500 from Prikulovic.

Prikulovic tabled 8♦8♥ for quads, and Garcia nodded and mucked.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Jens Nielsen from the cutoff and Alexander zur Linden in the big blind had both put in 8,500 preflop to see a flop of K♠10♠7♠, where Zur Linden check-called a bet of 12,000 from Nielsen.

The Q♥ hit on the turn, and zur Linden checked once more. Nielsen quickly jammed for 38,600, sending zur Linden into the tank.

Zur Linden pursed his lips, and pondered the spot for a good two minutes, before folding.

A pot of around 9,000 had brewed by the river on a board of J♥9♥3♥Q♥10♣, in a hand between Marcello Favaloro and Nils Knofler.

Favaloro checked, and Knofler fired out an overbet of 13,000. Favaloro gave it some thought, but ultimately sent his cards to the muck.

Naith Hanchard

Naith Hanchard bagged a minimum cash yesterday, but was towards the bottom of the standings, and he is back bright and early today hoping to bag bigger, best stack forward rules applying.

In this hand, there was 4,000 in the middle by the turn on 7♣6♣5♥3♦, in a battle of the blinds between Arian Kashi and Hanchard.

Kashi slid out a bet of 1,500, and Hanchard called.

The 8♦ river completed the board, and Kashi promptly check-folded versus a bet of 6,000 from Hanchard.
