Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Erhan Dogan open-raised to 800 and "Alfredo" three-bet to 3,000. Youssef Aboussaad called in the big blind and Dogan also called.

The flop came 7♥4♣8♦ and Aboussaad bet 3,000. Dogan folded and "Alfredo" called. On the 8♠ turn, Aboussaad made it 6,000 to go and "Alfredo" called the sizeable bet.

In a perfectly symmetrical betting pattern, Aboussaad led out again on the Q♦ river for 12,000. "Alfredo" only had around 18,000 in his stack as he went into the tank before eventually pushing all of his chips into the middle.

Aboussaad instantly folded to give "Alfredo" the pot and bring his chip count back up to above the starting stack.

Alfredo	56,000 6,000	6,000
Youssef Aboussaad	23,000 27,000	27,000

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action was on the flop on a board of J♦2♥9♣ and "EV" led with a bet. Anas Tadini raised to 4,200, the big blind folded, and "EV" called.

The turn came the 6♠ and "EV" checked. Tadini continued with a bet of 6,000 and "EV" looked down at his stack.

"All-in!", gestured Tadini. "EV" shrugged and said "maybe" before making the call.

The river was the 3♠ and both players checked to showdown. "EV" had Q♣10♣ for a busted straight draw, while Tadini showed J♠8♥ for a pair of jacks to win the pot.

Picking up the hand on a flop of 9♥9♣3♥, Kamal Sefrioui checked and Jeremie Canetti put out a bet. Sefrioui responded with a check-raise and Canetti called.

The turn came the 10♠ and Sefrioui led out for 7,000, which Canetti called. On the 6♣ river, Sefrioui bet 12,000, which was enough to force Canetti out of the hand to give Sefrioui the pot.
