Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Adrien Amorella raised to 800 from middle position. Thierry Dinael in the cutoff called, as well as Reda Belkeziz on the button and both players in the blinds.

Amorella continued for 1,800 on a flop of 5♦3♦10♦ and all of his opponents called except for the big blind.

The small blind, Amorella and Dinael checked the 6♣ turn, but Belkeziz bet 5,000. Amorella check-raised all-in for 28,200, Dinael check-raised all-in as well for 16,200 and they made Belkeziz fold.

Thierry Dinael: K♦7♦ All in
Adrien Amorella: A♦K♠

Dinael flopped a flush but Amorella was still looking for diamonds with his nut flush draw but the 7♥ river landed on the felt and Dinael doubled up.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

The action was picked up on a board of 10♦5♠K♦3♠6♣ with roughly 16,000 in the pot. Cyril Fabre on the button bet 11,200, and Samy Hamou in the hijack went deep into the tank.

He counted his stack and eventually made the call. Fabre then revealed K♥K♣ for a set. Hamou sent his cards into the muck and Fabre won the pot, just a few days after winning a tournament online out of a field of 176,479 entries.
