Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action was picked up on the river, with a dynamic board of 7♦8♣6♣6♦4♣ showing. 57,000 chips were in the middle, and Clifton Temm was facing a huge decision: Ionannis Panagopoulos had put him all in for his tournament life. Temm went deep into the tank and stayed there for a good few minutes. Eventually, he made the call.

Panagopoulos flipped over 10♣9♣ for a flopped straight that improved to a flush on the river. Temm mucked, letting his opponent know that he had folded pocket kings.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

James Matz opened to 2,000 in hijack and got called by Michael Maruna in cutoff, leading them both to the flop.

The dealer flopped 5♣A♠6♠. Matz led with a 1,600 bet, which Maruna called once again. On the turn A♣, Matz check-called Maruna's bet of 2,100.

Finally, on the river 6♦, Matz took control once again and fired 5,000. Maruna thought a bit and mucked his hand face-up to show Q♠9♠ for a busted flush draw saying he tried to bluff earlier.
