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

Masato Yokosawa raised from the cutoff to 2,400, and only Jean Kleemann called, defending his big blind.

The dealer spread a 7♥4♦A♣ flop, which Kleeman checked in flow to the preflop aggressor. Yokosawa placed a bet of 1,600 but was met with a check-raise to 5,000, which he called.

The dealer flipped over the 3♠ turn, and Kleeman continued for 10,000. Yokosawa didn't take too much time in returning his cards to the dealer.

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

Amro Jawad and Callum Gordon were heads-up in a pot with around 12,000 in the middle. The flop came J♦10♠8♠ and Jawad flicked in a bet of 10,000 in middle position. Gordon called from the cutoff and they were off to the K♠ on the turn.

Both players checked and the 6♠ landed on the river. Jawad dropped in a bet of 12,000 and Gordon mulled it over for a couple of minutes before making the call. Jawad tabled A♥8♦ for just a pair of eights and Gordon showed K♥Q♥ for top pair to earn the pot.

Steven Pedlow: A♠K♣

The 7♣ fell on the river and the kicker played to eliminate Miral just before the dinner break.
