Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Martin Raus kicked things off from middle position and raised to 2,300. Artur Martirosian in the small blind called. Martin Stausholm was sitting in the big blind, and he decided to three-bet to 8,500. Only Martirosian made the call.

On the A♠8♥7♠ flop, Martirosian check-called the 4,000 bet of Stausholm.

Both players checked the 10♦ turn.

Martirosian checked once again on the Q♣ river, and Stausholm went all in. Martirosian asked the dealer for a count, and they confirmed 25,100.

Martirosian then went into a deep tank, thinking for almost three minutes about his next move. In the end, he decided to call, and Stausholm showed K♣J♠ for a straight whilst Martirosian flashed KxQx for a pair of queens before he mucked the cards and paid Stausholm's double-up.

Sava Krink

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

After a raise from the cutoff and a call behind, the action reached Eric Cloutier in the small blind, who shoved all in. Jessica Teusl was in the big blind with 14,000 behind and also moved all in. The initial raisers got out of the way, and the cards were tabled.

Jessica Teusl: 7♦7♠ All in
Eric Cloutier: A♦J♣

The flop came 10♥5♣K♠, giving Cloutier plenty of outs. The Q♣ on the turn delivered the straight, leaving Teusl drawing dead. The 5♦ river changed nothing, and Teusl hit the rail while Cloutier added a bit more to his stack.
