Franco vs Bittar

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Hassan Bittar defended his blind against Ivan Luca Franco's raise and check-called a bet of 1,400 on the {4-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {Q-Spades}. Both players checked through the {2-Diamonds} on the turn and Bittar bet the {6-Hearts} river for 5,000. The Lebanese had exactly three T-5,000 chips behind and Franco opted for the fold.

Kavrakov Raises the River

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Atanas Kavrakov raised to 725 from under the gun and was called by Roman Pavliuk as well as Miltiadis Kyriakides in the blinds. The Bulgarian fired a continuation bet of 1,200 on the {10-Spades} {8-Spades} {A-Diamonds} and both opponents check-called before the {3-Diamonds} turn caused no action.

Kyriakides bet the {2-Spades} river for 3,500 and Pavliuk reluctantly called, Kavrakov had other plans though and made it 9,500. Kyriakides shook his head in disgust and asked the dealer how much more it would be before releasing his cards. Pavliuk mucked rather quickly.

Danchev Dusted

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

After a turn of {9-Spades} {9-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}, Dimitar Danchev moved all in for 12,950 into a pot of what appeared to be 10,000 and Anar Seref Dursun tanked for a bit before making the call. Danchev needed a five or club in order to stay alive with {8-Clubs} {5-Clubs}, Dursun had that beat with {A-Spades} {3-Hearts}.

It was the {6-Spades} on the river that sent the 2013 PCA champion to the rail, though he headed straight to the registration and may re-enter shortly.

Fingers in the Cookie Jar

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Ates Hikmet was the preflop aggressor from the button and raised the {2-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {4-Hearts} {6-Spades} turn from 925 to 2,100. Ara Melkistian called the raise out of the big blind and then quickly check-called a bet of 3,100 within a heart beat after the {3-Diamonds} river. Hikmet showed the {2-Clubs} first and Melkistian had that beat with {K-Clubs} {4-Spades}, the LEI Main Event champion mucked.

Saliba Busts in Three-Way Pot

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

After a raise to 700 by Khalil Tawil and a call, Toufic Saliba moved all in for 6,925 and was called by Chino Rheem as well as initial raiser Tawil. On the {2-Clubs} {4-Spades} {8-Spades} flop, Tawil was put all in for his last 7,250 by Rheem and called with {A-Hearts} {3-Hearts} for a gutshot. Rheem had pocket kings and Saliba was drawing slim with {J-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}.

The {9-Diamonds} turn was a brick, however the {5-Hearts} on the river awarded the pot to Tawil. "Nice call," Rheem said and most likely referred to the preflop one.
