Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Vitalie Berdaga opened to 2,100 from early position and was called by an opponent, before facing a three-bet to 9,200 by Jean Weber on the button. Only Berdaga called.

On the J♠8♠10♥ flop, Berdaga led out with a bet of 10,000. Weber pondered the spot for a moment, before moving all in for around 30,000. Berdaga made the quick call to put himself at risk.

Vitalie Berdaga: J♥10♠ All in
Jean Weber: K♣K♣

Berdaga was ahead with two pair versus Weber's overpair kings, and seemed set for the double-up after the 9♥ turn.

However the K♥ rolled off on the river to give Weber a set of kings, and on confirming he was covered, Berdaga said his goodbyes to the table and departed.

Moments after Cecile Ticherfatine arrived at the table, Jean-Gilbert Levy opened to 900 from under the gun and was called by Julien Guibert in middle position. Sabare Atmani on the button then three-bet to 3,200 and was called by Sebastian Tusal in the small blind and both Levy and Guibert.

Sebastian Tusal: A♣Q♣ All in
Julien Guibert: 3♦3♠ All in
Sabare Atmani: A♠Q♦

Tusal and Atmani both had top pair, but Guibert flopped a set. He even hit a full house with the 2♥2♦ runout scooped the pot, while Tusal was eliminated.
