Level 13
: Blinds 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante
Mikhail Zavoloka opened from under the gun and Arian Kashani three-bet from the button. Zavoloka called.
They both went to a flop of Q♥A♣A♦ where Zavoloka check-called a bet of 6,500 from Kashani to the A♥ turn, which went check-check.
A 10♥ dropped on the river and Zavoloka led out for 12,000, then Kashani made it 77,000. After a short time thinking, Zavoloka decided to fold.
It felt like a setup for quads versus a royal flush, but this time it wasn’t.

Alain Hajj raised to 7,000 from late position and Georgios Skarparis three-bet to 20,000 from the button. Hajj put in the call.
The flop came down K♠7♦9♦ and Hajj check-called a bet of 22,000 from Skarparis.
The two players checked the 7♥ turn for the 2♦ to land on the river. Hajj led out for 18,500 and was met by a raise to 66,000 from Skarparis. Hajj reluctantly called and was shown A♦5♦ by Skarparis for the ace-high flush. Hajj showed K♦Q♦ for the king-high flush as the pot was pushed to Skarparis.

There were around 50,000 chips in the pot on a K♣9♥7♥5♦ board when Lyudmil Ivanov checked from the big blind and Ali Fkih fired out 23,000 from early position. After some time, Ivanov called.
When the 8♥ landed on the river, Ivanov checked and Fkih instantly checked back. Ivanov then showed he rivered two pair with K♥8♦, and Fkih tapped the table and mucked.

The action was picked up on the turn with the board reading Q♥A♣3♦7♦. Eusebiu Jalba checked from the small blind and faced a bet of 28,000 by Darius Neagoe out of the big blind. Jalba made the call to see a river.
Jalba checked the 8♥ river and Neagoe fired out a bet of 70,000. Jalba thought it over but eventually settled on a fold and forfeited the pot to Neagoe.

Max Deveson raised to 7,000 from early position and Chukri Sakkal shoved for his remaining 20,000 from the next seat. When it folded back to Deveson he put in the call to try and bust Sakkal.
Chukri Sakkal: A♠8♣ 
Max Deveson: K♣10♠
Sakkal was a slight favorite with ace-high until the dealer fanned the K♦9♣4♠ flop to put Deveson in the lead with a pair of kings. The rest of the board ran out 7♥4♥ and Sakkal was headed to the exit.
