Michel Habib opened to 8,000 from the cutoff and Fausto Tantillo defended from the big blind.
The flop came 9♣8♣2♣. Tantillo checked, Habib bet 10,000, Tantillo check-raised to 32,000 and Habib called.
On the 7♦ turn Tantillo bet 96,000. Habib thought for about 45 seconds before deciding to fold and Tantillo took down a nice pot without showdown.
Around 70,000 was in the pot as Antoine Hasbani and Baurzhan Akimov went to the turn on a board of K♥5♣J♥6♠.
Hasbani, in the small blind, then led out for 75,000. Akimov spent a moment eyeing Hasbani's remaining stack before moving all in. Hasbani snap-called for 175,000.
Hasbani showed K♣J♣ for two pair, while Akimov had A♦Q♣ for a straight draw. The A♣ river wasn't enough for Akimov and Hasbani doubled up.
Bogdan Munteanu opened to 7,500 from middle position and a player in the hijack three-bet to 21,000. Munteanu made the call.
The flop came J♥9♠8♥ and Munteanu check-called a 15,000 continuation bet from his opponent.
Both players checked the K♠ turn leading to the 5♣ river. Munteanu bet 10,000, the hijack raised to 50,000 and Munteanu moved all in, covering his opponent who had roughly 150,000 behind. The hijack opted to fold and Munteanu revealed he had Q♦Q♣ for a pair of queens turned into a bluff to take the pot without showdown.
More than 300,000 was already in the pot as Gianfranco Iaculli and Jad Warde went to the turn on a board of K♣2♠5♦7♠.
Both players then checked to the 8♦ river, where Iaculli moved all in for 150,000. "What do you have," Warde pondered as he tanked for several minutes.
Warde eventually called and Iaculli turned over 5♥5♠ for a set. Warde's cards quickly hit the muck and Iaculli doubled up to nearly 600,000.
Heads-up on a flop of 3♥10♥7♦, Huseyin Kaba moved all in for 71,000 from under the gun and Ara Melkisetian called.
Huseyin Kaba: K♠10♠
Ara Melkisetian: K♥4♥
Kaba was ahead with top pair, while Melkisetian had a flush draw. The A♥ turn completed Melkisetian's flush and Kaba was already drawing dead by the 4♦ river as he was sent to the rail.
Monika Zukowicz opened to 7,000 from early position and Stanislav Tishkevich three-bet to 21,000 from middle position. Samy Barka called in late position and Zukowicz got out of the way.
Tishkevich fired an 18,000 continuation bet on the A♦8♥6♦ flop that was called by Barka.
On the 9♠ turn Tishkevich checked and Barka bet 100,000 into the 90,000 pot. Tishkevich moved all in for roughly 225,000 and Barka, who was slightly covered, made the call.
Samy Barka: 9♣9♥
Stanislav Tishkevich: A♦K♠
Tishkevich had flopped top pair but Barka had turned a set of nines leaving Tishkevich drawing dead. The 10♦ river was a formality after which Barka scored a full double up through Tishkevich who was left with under ten big blinds.
Level: 14
Blinds: 2,000/3,500
Ante: 3,500
Heads-up on a flop of Q♣A♦9♦, David Hu bet 18,000 from the cutoff and Antoine Hasbani called in early position.
Both players checked the A♠ turn before Hasbani led out for 18,000 on the K♥ river.
Hu then raised to 95,000 and Hasbani called. Hu showed A♣K♠ for a full house and Hasbani mucked.
Marcin Dziubdziela was in the hijack and had three-bet a previous open to 26,000 only for Maher Achour to four-bet to 80,000 from the small blind. All other players got out of the way before Dziubdziela moved all in for 227,000.
Achour thought about the decision for about 90 seconds before calling with a covering stack to put Dziubdziela at risk.
Marcin Dziubdziela: Q♠Q♦
Maher Achour: 9♥9♣
Achour made middle set on the 10♥9♦5♣ flop leaving Dziubdziela drawing to just two outs. The 3♥ turn and 2♥ river changed nothing for either player and Dziubdziela hit the rail while Achour dragged in a pot worth nearly 150 big blinds.
