Ollie Garland

Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Elie Cemachovic raised to 1,200 from the button, receiving a call from the small blind. The big blind squeezed to 5,500 and only Cemachovic called.

The 6♦8♠3♥ flop saw the big blind continue for 7,000. Cemachovic called.

The J♠ turn saw the big blind bet again, this time for 14,000. Cemachovic elected to raise to, what looked to be, 35,500. The big blind was forced to fold. As Cemachovic raked in the pot he showed 6♥6♠ for a flopped set.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

After an open by the player under the gun, former Winamax Team Pro and staff member Aurélien "Guignol" Guiglini defended from the big blind.

Both players checked the 6♠J♦6♦ flop, leading to the 7♦ turn where Guignol led out for 2,500. His opponent called.

Guiglini fired a second barrel of 5,000 on the A♥ river, but the under-the-gun player raised to 20,000. Guiglini went into the tank, eventually called and won the hand as his opponent directly sent his cards into the muck.

Player	Chips	Progress
Aurélien Guiglini	83,000 83,000	83,000
Aurelia Pioget	40,000 10,000	10,000
Audrey Verlomme	37,000 13,000	13,000
