Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

There was an open in early position to 1,000. It was called by Kevin Abecassis in middle position and by Andreas Pütz in the small blind.

All three players checked on the flop 6♣8♣K♣. Then Pütz bet 400 on the turn, which was the 2♥. The player in early position raised to 2,500, and Abecassis folded. However, Puetz was not done and he reraised all in to 8,200. His opponent thought for a few seconds and seemed to have no choice but to call.

Andreas Pütz: 10♣9♣
Opponent: K♥J♣

Pütz just had to avoid a club, other than the 7♣, to double up. The J♠ landed on the river, and secured his win.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

From the cutoff, Flavien Guenan opened to 1,100. He was raised to 3,500 by Brandon Sheils on the button.

Guenan looked at his opponent's stack and saw that he had a total of 20,100 chips. To force him to go all in, Guenan raised for more than his neighbor's stack and got called.

Brandon Sheils: A♠A♦
Flavien Guenan: A♣Q♠

Bad timing for Guenan, who ran into the best possible hand. The board K♦5♥7♦Q♥9♦ did not change the situation, and the Frenchman is back to the starting stack.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Zhigang Yang raised from early position to 1,100. But the button didn't want to let him win the pot so easily, so he decided to raise to 3,300.

Action came back to Yang, and he responded with a four-bet to 9,100. Judging by his facial expression, the button clearly had a decision to make. And he took the most aggressive option, moving all in. With 24,300 chips, Yang, covered, made the call.

Zhigang Yang: A♦A♣
Button: A♠Q♥

Yang had the lead preflop and maintained it after the board 4♣7♠7♥J♠6♦. He doubled up.
