Level 7 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

All three players checked the Q23 flop before the A arrived on the turn. When action checked to Noja, he bet 5,500, and only the small blind called.

Both players checked the 4 river. The small blind tabled A10 for a pair of aces, but Noja had him outkicked with AJ to earn the pot.

Three players saw the 4910 flop with around 10,500 in the pot. After the two blinds checked, Anton Danilov bet 3,500 from the hijack. The player in the small blind called, and Adrian Govea came along from the big blind.

All three checked the Q turn before the 5 completed the board. The small blind checked for a third time and Govea bet 10,000. Danilov folded, but the small blind quickly called.

Govea tabled Jx8x for a straight, but it was second best to the higher straight of the small blind, who revealed KJ to win the pot.

After a player in middle position limped, Aleksandras Rusinovas raised to 6,000 on the button. The middle position player called and the two players saw the AQ4 flop.

After action checked to Rusinovas, he bet 6,000 and his opponent called.

The 6 turn checked through before the 10 completed the board. The middle position player led out for 10,000, and Rusinovas snap-called.

His opponent tabled A3 for top pair, but it was no good against the AK of Rusinovas, whose better kicker earned him the pot.

Raoul Kanme: A10 All in
Pedro Ingles: 66

It was a flip that Garcia came out on top after rivering a set on the 27486 runout.

Nashar Plays With One Card

Level 6 : Blinds 800/1,500, 1,500 ante
Hassan Nashar
Hassan Nashar

With about 54,000 already in the pot on a flop of 83Q, Hassan Nashar, having only looked at one of his hole cards, bet 50,000 from early position. Nikolay Fal went deep into the tank from the next seat, and Nashar even offered him all of his remaining time banks to give him every chance to find an answer. In the end, Fal used just one of his own before moving all in for around 65,000, and Nashar called.

Nikolay Fal: A7 All in
Hassan Nashar: AK

Nashar slowly peeled over his second card to reveal big slick, leaving Fal in desperate need of help to survive.

The 8 turn changed nothing, and the 9 river sealed Fal's fate. After tapping the table and wishing the remaining players good luck, Fal made his way to the rail while the pot was pushed across to Nashar.
