Merheb showed K♣3♦ for a pair of kings, while Khabbazeh claimed the pot after tabling A♠Q♠ for a pair of aces.

Fadil Toskic was all in for his last 5,000 from under the gun before a player in the hijack reraised to 15,000. Fadi Abi Nakhoul then moved all in for 78,000 in the small blind, the big blind also shoved, and the hijack got out of the way.

Fadil Toskic: K♦10♣ All in
Fadi Abi Nakhoul: 6♥6♦ All in
Big Blind: A♦Q♦

The K♠10♠7♥ flop gave Toskic two pair and the lead, while the rest of the board came 5♣3♦. Toskic took the main pot to quadruple up, while Nakhoul doubled up off the big blind.

At the same table, Assyl Tleuzhanov has built his stack up to 1,150,000 so far on Day 2.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Kamil Karaoglu raised to 6,000 in early position before Vytautas Milbutas made it 21,000 in the hijack. Abdelrahman Moursy called in the cutoff, while Adrian State moved all in for his last 19,500 from the big blind.

Karaoglu called the three-bet and a round of checks followed the 2♥3♥A♠ flop. With State waiting patiently, all three players checked again after seeing the 4♣ turn.

Another trio of checks followed the 6♣ river, with State showing A♣Q♣. Karaoglu mucked after Milbutas showed Q♥Q♠ to claim the small side pot, with Moursy tabling J♣J♦.

State quadrupled his short stack, but was then seen at the reentry desk soon after to get a fresh stack of 100,000 chips.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Danut Chisu raised to 5,500 in early position, Tibor Nyuli three-bet to 25,000 in the big blind, and Chisu called.

Nyuli bet another 15,000 on the 6♥J♠3♦ flop and Chisu called. Both players then checked the 2♥ turn.

The river was the 8♥ and Nyuli announced a bet of 48,000. Chisu spent nearly two minutes in the tank before eventually folding as Nyuli took down the pot without a showdown.
