Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Ionel Serbu opened to 10,000 from the hijack and was faced with a three-bet to 26,000 by Franck Yau in the cutoff. Action folded back to Serbu, who made the call.

On the K♦9♥10♣ flop, Serbu led out with a bet of 17,000. After some thought, Yau called.

The Q♠ rolled off on the turn, bringing one-card straight possibilities, and Serbu checked to his opponent. After thinking the spot through for a bit, Yau slid out a bet of 21,000, and Serbu quickly folded.

Yau showed A♣9♦ for a pair of nines, and Serbu nodded and tapped the table.

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

In the very next hand, David Kozma moved all in for around 36,000, and Catelani rejammed, forcing out all other opponents.

David Kozma: A♠Q♠ All in
Carlo Catelani: 10♥10♠

Catelani was ahead in a race, but had a sweat after the K♣2♠6♠ flop brought his opponent a flush draw.

However the 7♦ turn and 4♦ river were bricks and Kozma headed for the exit, with Catelani catching some heat before the dinner break.

Dhouimer Puts Zabrodotskyi in Blender

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Around 35,000 was in the middle on a completed board of 6♦Q♥10♣8♠J♥, in a hand between Mehdi Dhouimer in early position and Yurii Zabrodotskyi in the big blind.

Zabrodotskyi led out with a bet of 21,000, only to be faced with a jam from Dhouimer for 64,000, sending the Ukrainian deep into thought.

Zabrodotskyi peered at the board, counted his chips, and glanced at his opponent repeatedly. After a while, he said to Dhouimer, "I have the nine", which would mean he had the queen-high straight, albeit not the nuts.

Eventually another player called the clock, and Zabrodotskyi let it get down to five seconds before announcing he was folding, flashing the 9♠ as he sent his cards to the muck.

Dhouimer raked in the pot and didn't give his opponent any indication as to whether his fold was a good one.

Priamo Carta: K♠10♠ All in
Franck Yau: Q♠J♠

Carta was ahead with his top pair tens, but had some outs to fade. Much to his delight, the 7♦ turn and 5♣ river were bricks and Carta obtained a timely double-up.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Maher Achour was all-in for 24,500 and at risk versus Alberto Romeo on a flop of 8♠9♥2♦.

Maher Achour: 10♣9♣ All in
Alberto Romeo: K♠K♦

Achour had run his top pair nines into Romeo's pocket kings, and needed some help to escape.

The 9♦ rolled off on the turn to give Achour trip nines, and the 2♠ river was a brick to send him a timely double-up, and leave Romeo shaking his head at his misfortune.
