Level 3
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Miad Shakiba was just put in a tough spot where he decided to fold two pair.
The pot was four-bet preflop by the cutoff and Shakiba had called on the button to see a flop of A♥Q♠J♣, where he called a bet of 7,000.
A 3♦ hit the turn and again Shakiba was faced with a bet, this time for 20,600, and again he called.
The inevitable river shove came on the K♣ river and Shakiba was put to the test for his remaining 85,000. Eventually, he announced a fold and showed A♣J♠ for two pair as he did so.

A 2♦ on the river saw both players check it down, and Sibgatova showed Q♥4♥ for trips to win the pot.

: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Michael Iakovlev's first bullet in Day 1b has ended in disaster as he just lost all of his chips.
On a full board of 4♥3♠6♥J♠8♣, there were around 50,000 chips in the pot when Iakovlev checked and the cutoff shoved. Iakovlev had around 60,000 behind and after thinking it over, he eventually called.
The cutoff announced that he had pocket queens and showed Q♦Q♣. and Iakovlev's A♠J♣ was no good.
Bullet number 2 is loaded and Iakovlev is back in with a fresh stack of 100,000.

Quan Zhou opened from under the gun and the hijack three-bet to 3,700, which Junaid Jalal called in the small blind. Zhou then made it a small 5,700, which got the hijack to fold, but Jalal called.
Both checked the 6♦10♥9♦ flop to the 5♥ turn, where Jalal fired 15,000. Zhou didn't want to get involved and folded, allowing Jalal to take the pot.

Fahredin Mustafov is nearly at the half-million mark and it's only Level 3!
Jeremie Zouari raised from early position to 1,600 and Mustafov made it 5,500 from the hijack. When it got back to Zouari, he called.
They saw a flop of 4♥8♣4♠. where Zouari checked, Mustafov fired 5,000, Zouari raised to 15,000, and Mustafov called.
An A♥ hit the turn and Zouari check-called a bet of 11,000 from Mustafov to see the 8♦ fall on the river, where he led for 31,400. Mustfov quickly raised to 75,000, and Zouari called off the rest of his stack.
Zouari flipped over a full house with 5♣4♣, but Mustafov had the nut boat with A♦A♣ to scoop the pot and stack Zouari!
That's not the end of Zouari, though, as he quickly went to the registration desk and hopped back in.
