Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante
Erwann Pecheux
Erwann Pecheux

Erwann Pecheux in middle position opened for 350 and it was called by the player from one seat over, as well as the player in the big blind.

The flop fell {2-Clubs}{5-Spades}{k-Clubs} and after the first player checked Pecheux continued for 500. His opponents made the call and the three players went to see the {10-Hearts} on the turn. The small blind checked and so did Pecheux. The third player made a bet worth 1,300 and only the French player made the call.

The river brought the {8-Diamonds} and both players checked. Pecheux turned over {10-Clubs}{j-Clubs} and it was enough to make his opponent muck her hand.

Level 4 : 75/150, 25 ante
Gal Yifrach
Gal Yifrach

On a flop {q-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and a three-way pot, Gal Yifrach bet 625 after his two opponents checked. One made the call and the dealer revealed a {5-Diamonds} on the turn. Yifrach made another bet, this time for 1,100 after his opponent checked and the latter made the call.

On the river {4-Diamonds}, Yifrach's opponent checked once more and tanked for some time after the winner of the $ 3,000 No Limit Hold'em - 6 Handed (Event #28) fired a bet worth 4,300. He ended up calling with {q-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}, but was facing {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs} in Yifrach's hand for the straight and lost the pot.

Lovgren Eliminated

Level 4 : 75/150, 25 ante

Sofia Lovgren opened for 400 and a player raised it to 1,200. The action folded back to Lovgren who three-bet for 3,200. Her opponent called and both checked on the {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop.

Things heated up on the turn {a-Diamonds}. After another check from Lovgren, her opponent tossed a stack of 5,000 chips, putting her tournament at risk. After some thought, she ended up calling with {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}. Her opponent showed {a-Hearts}{a-Spades} and Lovgren was eliminated from the tournament after a {5-Hearts} bricked on the river.
