Level 1
: Blinds 1,000/1,000, 1,000 ante
Antoine Hasbani opened 3,000 in the cutoff, and the small blind called before Denis Udalsov three-bet 18,000 from the big blind. Only Hasbani stuck around with a call.
The dealer spread a flop of 9♥3♣2♣, and Udalsov continued for 19,000. Hasbani made the call.
The 2♥ paired the board on the turn, and Udalsov jammed all-in for 165,000. Hasbani wasted little time making the call, and both hands were tabled.
Denis Udalsov: Q♣Q♠ 
Antoine Hasbani: 8♥8♣
Udalsov was way ahead with his pocket queens and the K♠ river changed nothing as he scored the double. Hasbani had 2,000 remaining, and was seen walking away from the table shortly after.

Level 2
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
With about 60,000 in the middle the flop read A♠4♣3♠, and Dmitry Gromov fired a bet of 19,000. His only opponent in the hand made the call.
When the 5♦ fell on the turn, Gromov continued with aggression, dropping 40,000 into the center, and he was called once again.
The 5♥ paired the board on the river, and Gromov jammed for his last 92,000. His opponent went into the tank, using a time bank before making the call.
Gromov tabled 6♣5♣, for trip fives and his opponent mucked his hand.

Level 2
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Four players put 4,500 each in the middle before the dealer fanned the Q♠4♠2♦ flop, and the small blind checked to the big blind who fired a bet of 6,000. Florian Roski was in the hijack and put in a raise to 15,000, and Semen Kravets was next to act on the button, and moved all-in for 115,000, forcing both the blinds to quickly folded while Roski made the call.
Semen Kravets: Q♥10♣
Florian Roski: A♣A♠
Kravets saw he was in rough shape as he stood up from the table. As the 8♠ hit the turn, he began to put his sweater on but the 10♦ river improved him to two pair as he let out, "Oh!" In excitement and sat back down to pull in the double.
