Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Action was caught on the river in a hand between Daniel Strelitz, who was under the gun and the player in middle position.

With about 36,000 in the pot and the board reading 5♠8♦J♣K♠4♣, Strelitz threw out two 25,000 chips, enough to put his opponent all in, who had 32,000 behind.

After some contemplating, middle position gave up his hand and the pot was pushed to Strelitz.

Maxime Taldir

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A player under the gun opened to 6,000 and was called by Elie Nakache in the cutoff, then Antonio Buonanno on the button three-bet to 20,000. Nakache was the only one to call.

Buonanno continued for 15,000 on the 8♦3♠8♠ flop, then fired a second barrel of 30,000 on the 9♥ turn. Nakache check-called both times.

The K♦ completed the board and after Nakache checked one more time, Buonanno decided to go all-in. Nakache quickly folded.
