Two Barrels from Baltazar
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
Picking up the action on a flop of 
, Isabel Baltazar bet 500 after it was checked to her and Rob Strong as well as the initial preflop aggressor from under the gun called. On the 
turn it was a bet of 1,500 by Baltazar and Strong check-folded in the big blind while enjoying a strong massage. The player in under the gun however called and bet the 
river for 2,125 to push Baltazar out of the hand.

After the river of a 
board, Antoine Saout bet 3,800 into a pot of 10,000 and his opponent raised to 7,600. Saout shoved and was snap-called, though it would be a split pot with the 
of the Frenchman and the 
of his opponent.

Bad Day at the Office
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
Simon Hemsworth was at one of the two tables downstairs, but his seat is now vacant. According to his last tweet, he made the nut flush on a paired board but ran into a full house. Sometimes it only takes two hands to bust an event despite having 200 big blinds on average for level two.
Oof. That was quick. Had AJhh on 8h4h8x3hQx and shoved into 44. Don't see how I could have played it differently. #WPTNBrussels #BustFollow @simonhemsworth

King High Good Enough for Darcourt
Level 3
: 75/150, 25 ante
After a raise to 350 and three calls, Guillaume Darcourt called out of the big blind as well to see a ten-high flop. Neither of the players in the hand was interested in any action and they also checked down the 
turn and the 
river. Darcourt was first to show with 
and somehow none of his opponents could beat that.
