Hassan Nashar
Hassan Nashar

When it folded to Hassan Nashar, he raised to 10,000 from the button and only the big blind player called.

The 7♠9♦4♣ flop checked through to see the 3♠ appear on the turn. The big blind checked again, but Nasahr threw out a bet of 15,000. Nashar's opponent called.

Another round of checks came after the 2♠ river and the big blind player revealed A♥2♣ for a pair of deuces. Nashar had that beat with Q♥7♥ for a pair of sevens, and the pot was sent to him.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

With roughly 40,000 in the pot already, Maksim Shornikau fired out a bet of 17,000 from the small blind on a flop of 7♥K♥J♥. Anton Arkhipenkov called from the cutoff and the headed to the turn.

Shornikau didn't slow down on the A♣ turn, as he tossed out a bet of 55,000. Arkhipenkov went into the tank for quite some time and was visibly distressed. In the end, he chose to fold and surrender the pot to Shornikau. Arkhipenkov tossed in his 'rabbit card', which meant the dealer showed that the river would have been the 8♦.

After some preflop raises back and forth, Mustafa Biz and Adem Agoudjil got all of their chips into the middle with Biz being the player at risk for around 153,000.

Mustafa Biz: A♦A♠ All in
Adem Agoudjil: A♥K♥

Agoudjil was up against the preflop nuts of Biz and needed a lot of help from the dealer to win the pot. A clean runout of 2♠3♠J♣6♦3♥ left Agoudjil drawing dead by the turn, and around half of his stack headed over to Biz.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante

OIeg Svintsov raised to 7,000 from early position with Benjamin LeBlond calling from the small blind. Naji Abdo bumped it up to 28,500 from the big blind, which was called by both of his opponents.

LeBlond knuckled the action over to Abdo on the 8♦4♣6♣ flop, and Abdo overbet jammed for around 150,000. Svintsov tank-folded before LeBlond snap-called with the covering stack.

Naji Abdo: K♠K♥ All in
Benjamin LeBlond: 4♠4♦

LeBlond flopped a set, and Abdo needed a Cowboy on the turn or river to survive. The 5♥ turn and 9♠ river didn't improve Abdo, and LeBlond won the pot with a set of fours.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Fahredin Mustafov raised to 23,000 from early position with just one T-500 chip behind. The player in the hijack called and the rest of the table folded. The hijack player revealed A♣J♥ as he thought Mustafov was all-in.

Both players checked all the way to the river on the 3♠K♠7♥9♥8♥ runout before Mustafov bet his last 500. The hijack called and Mustafov revealed 6♥5♥ for a straight flush to earn him the much-needed double-up.

Four players saw the dealer fan out a flop of 5♥5♣9♠, where Dmitry Gromov checked first from the big blind. Michel Habib bet 15,000 from under the gun with Aleksandr Chernikov calling out of the cutoff, and Parahat Nurmuhammedov calling from the button.

The K♠ rolled off on the turn, causing Habib to check. Chernikov now took the betting lead by firing out 15,000. Nurmuhammedov quickly raised to 65,000, which was enough to get two folds from his opponents.
