Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Soraya Estrada was all-in for 45,000 and at risk versus Chris Rubbini.

Soraya Estrada: A♦K♥ All in
Chris Rubbini: J♥J♦

Estrada needed some help from the board, and looked to be heading for the exit after the K♣9♣9♠ flop and A♥ turn gave Rubbini top two pair.

However the J♣ rolled off on the river for the two-outer to keep Estrada in it.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Chip leader Hassan Sey opened to 9,000 from middle position, and was met with a three-bet to 40,000 by Sabare Atmani in the cutoff. Action folded back to Sey, who pumped it up further to 115,000 with a four-bet.

Atmani didn't wait long before five-bet jamming for 290,000, and Sey had little choice but to make the quick call.

Sabare Atmani: J♣J♥ All in
Hassan Sey: A♠Q♠

Atmani was ahead in a flip, but that didn't last long as the ace was in the window on the A♣8♠5♣ flop, the K♥ turn and 7♦ river failing to alter matters.

All players have now locked up a minimum cash of €1,840.
