PokerNews will be back when the first half comes back.
Tahar Said opened to 4,000 from under the gun. Tomas Bulksas to his left three-bet all-in for 15,500. The big blind was tempted to call but let Said do it.

Tahar Said: 7♣7♦
Said hit a full house on 2♦9♥9♣7♥3♠, leaving no chance to Bulksas who was eliminated. "It's a massacre," joked a player at the table.

The hijack opened to 5,000 but Javier Tsunami in the cutoff three-bet to 16,500. All the other players folded to the hijack who took a long moment to call.
He checked a flop of 6♠10♦2♥, allowing Tsunamy to make a continuation bet of 18,000. But the hijack immediately check-raised all-in for 185,000.
Tsunamy went deep into the tank but eventually folded.
