Alexandros Kolonias: A♣10♥

The flop came 9♦7♠5♦ and Bareika took a stranglehold on the hand with a set of nines. If that wasn't enough, the 9♠ hit the turn to lock up the pot for Bareika before the 4♦ hit the river.

Frank Visser

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Catching the action on a K♥K♣4♦3♠ turn, Andrius Tapinas checked from the small blind to James Farrelly on the button, who fired 30,000 into a pot of around 40,000. Tapinas called to the 9♥ river, which he also checked.

Farrelly barreled in a bet of 35,000. Tapinas snap-called, and revealed K♠Q♦ for trip kings once Farrelly admitted he had jack-high.

The next hand, Farrely opened to 2,400 in the cutoff, and Tapinas called on the button. The 6♣Q♣10♥ flop checked through to the 9♣ turn, where Farrelly check-called Tapinas' bet of 2,000. The A♥ river was checked to showdown, where Tapinas won once more with Q♥2♥.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Syed Saleh started with a raise to 2,400 and Christopher Frank called in the cutoff, followed by Nils Pudel in the big blind.

The trio saw a flop 7♠5♠10♣ and it checked to Frank who bet 2,300. Only Saleh called to stay in the pot. The turn was the J♠ and Saleh check-called again, this time for 6,800.

Both checked on the 6♥ river and Saleh revealed K♥Q♠ for king high. It wasn't enough to claim the pot as Frank tabled 4♠4♥ to grab the chips.
