Manderlier Back On Top
Level 2
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Milan Sasek raised from middle position to 11,000, before Laurent Manderlier quickly piled on the pressure, 3-betting to 35,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back round to Sasek, who called the extra, as the two players went to a 
flop.
Sasek check-called a 45,000 continuation bet, before leading out for 55,500 when the turn paired the 
. Manderlier wasn't a big fan of this donk lead, and raised it up to 150,000. Sasek called again, before the 
came down on the river, bringing four to a flush. Sasek thought for a while and checked the action over to Manderlier, who calmly set Sasek all-in for his remaining 260,000.
Sasek instantly folded, and Manderlier's aggression earned him yet another pot.

chiKKita banAAna Checks Dark
Level 2
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
chiKKita banAAna has been giving his table a few lessons on how to play against him, for instance if he checks it doesn’t necessarily mean he doesn’t have it. A few have tangled with him but he is getting the best of it so far as well as raising a few smiles and causing a few frowns.
banAAna opened a pot and then faced a three-bet for a chunky 50,000 from Riedlingen Horst in late position. The other players folded but banAAna told Horst that he would give him a chance by not only calling but also checking in the dark.
The flop was 
and with action on Horst he declined to bet so they went to the turn card 
.
“Queens are no good,” banAAna warned and bet 100,500. Horst released his hand and banAAna told him, “I have ace king,” before turning over his .

Classic Flip
Level 2
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
After having just played a hand together, where Wolfgang Simperl folded 
on the river to Stefan Hulin on a king-high board, the two players were back at it.
This time Hulin opened to 8,000, before Simperl put in the 3-bet and was immediately shoved on. "Okay! I hope I'll be lucky!" said Simperl as he made the call for Hulin's 249,000 effective stack.
Hulin showed 
, while Simperl tabled his 
. There was instant service for Hulin in the window, as the dealer spread a 
flop. The 
paired the turn, which meant Simperl was down to just two outs, the 
river not being one of them as Hulin picked up the full double.
