Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Paul Runcan opened to 800 from middle position and was faced with a three-bet to 2,500 from Levan Mamaladze on the button. Action folded back to Runcan, who called.

On the 5♦6♥5♠ flop, Runcan check-called a bet of 2,800 from Mamaladze.

The 5♣ rolled off on the turn, and Runcan again check-called a bet of 6,500 from his opponent.

The river brought the K♦, and Runcan checked once more. Mamaladze fired out a bet of 15,000, sending Runcan deep into thought. Runcan eventually flicked in calling chips, and was shown the bad news when Mamaladze turned over J♠J♣ for a full house, leading Runcan to muck his hand.

Anders Helland opened to 1,100 and received calls from the cutoff, Natale Polizzotto on the button, and the player in the big blind.

The flop came Q♣8♣3♠, and action was checked to Helland. He fired out a bet of 2,200 and only Polizzotto called.

The 3♥ river completed the board, and Helland retained control of the action, sliding out a bet of 6,200. Polizzotto thought the position through for quite some time before folding, seemingly reluctantly.
