Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Vasyl Palandiuk raised to 9,000 under the gun and picked up calls from early position and the cutoff. Feyzullah Karaarslan then moved all in for 88,500 in the small blind and Palandiuk called. The other two opponents both got out of the way.

Feyzullah Karaarslan: 6♦6♥ All in
Vasyl Palandiuk: A♦Q♥

The flop came J♥7♥5♣ and the player in early position turned away from the table and let out a loud sigh. The rest of the board came 9♠7♠ and Karaarslan survived the flip to double up.

The early-position player admitted he folded two jacks after the hand, while the cutoff said he folded ace-jack.

Left with just 35,000, Sow moved all in the next hand as Gabriel Iemmito called in the small blind.

Kalidou Sow: 8♣6♣ All in
Gabriel Iemmito: K♦K♣

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante

Eskeneder Biru called an open to 7,000 in the hijack and another call followed on the button. Georgios Tsouloftas then three-bet to 38,000 in the small blind, with the initial raiser getting out of the way.

Biru responded by four-betting all in for 124,500. The button mucked, with Tsouloftas taking some time before putting in the call.

Eskeneder Biru: Q♣Q♥ All in
Georgios Tsouloftas: A♠10♦

Biru was in good shape and quickly improved to a set of queens on the Q♠7♥5♣ flop. The 8♦ turn and 5♠ river changed nothing, as Biru secured the double up through Tsouloftas.
