Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/3,500, 3,500 ante

if you hold a pocket pair in your hand, the odds of making quads is 1 in 122. Well, Tamazi Skhirtladze just hit that 0.81% chance to double through Angelo Mancini.

The two got the chips in preflop with Skhirtladze's stack of around 75,000 at risk.

Tamazi Skhirtladze: 9♥9♣ All in
Angelo Mancini: J♠J♦

The flop of 8♥K♥9♠ gave Skhirtladze a set, and he improved further on the 9♦ turn to quads! Nothing could save Mancini on the river as the 4♠ was just a formality.

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/3,500, 3,500 ante

Omer Ulusoy came in with a raise to 8,000 under the gun with Andrei Stoenescu calling from the next seat, and Gerard Carbo Santamaria defending his big blind.

Santamaria checked the 10♦K♦3♦ flop and Ulusoy put out a continuation-bet of 8,500. Stoenescu called, but Santamaria folded.

The 5♣ appeared on the turn, causing Ulusoy to check. Stonenescu bet 19,000, and Ulusoy released his cards into the muck.

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

A pot of around 250,000 had already brewed between Xiaosheng Zheng in middle position and Erdal Gulseven in the hijack.

The board read 8♣6♠8♦4♦, and Zheng had check-called a bet of 65,000 to the 4♠ river. After Zheng checked, Gulseven quickly knuckled back, taking it to showdown.

Zheng tabled 7♠7♥ for a pair of sevens, but that was no good as Gulseven tabled 10♠10♣ for a pair of tens to scoop the pot.

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

Milos Skrbic got all in for the last of his stack with Bahattin Eser trying to send him to the reentry desk.

Milos Skrbic: A♦Q♣ All in
Bahattin Eser: A♠K♦

Skrbic needed to find a queen or he would be out. The 9♥9♠6♦ flop offered some chop opportunities, but the 5♦ turn and 3♦ river didn't produce anything for Skrbic, and he exited the tournament area.

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

Dmitrii Kopyl had his stack of around 90,000 in the middle preflop from the cutoff and was put at risk by Tobias Peters in the hijack.

Dmitrii Kopyl: 10♥10♦ All in
Tobias Peters: K♠K♦

Peters was way ahead with his pocket kings and they stayed in front on the 8♦9♦4♣ flop. A 7♥ on the turn did make things a little sweaty for Peters as Kopyl picked up an open-ender, but the cowboys were still well in the lead.

That was until the J♥ hit the river, which improved Kopyl to a straight and earned him a double-up.
