Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Thomas Eychenne opened from under the gun and picked up two callers in Nadav Barash in the cutoff & Maksim Pisarenko in the big blind.

The trio saw a flop of Q♦7♥K♥, where Pisarenko checked and Eychenne continued for 350,000. Barash called and Pisarenko folded.

On the 3♦ turn, Eyechenne sized up with a bet of 2,200,000. After around three minutes in the tank, Barash dropped in calling chips to see the 9♥ hit the river. With a lot of draws completing, Eychenne checked and Barash bet 4,125,000.

"Oh wow wow wow wow," muttered Eychenne to himself. The Frenchman had around 4,800,000 in his stack so the bet was a test for the bulk of it. After sighing to himself multiple times, Eychenne found the fold, and Barash pulled in the decent-sized pot.

Muhamet Perati raised to 400,000 in the cutoff and Ihab Ali three-bet to 900,000 from the small blind. Perati called and the flop of J♣10♠6♦ hit the felt. Both players checked and the 7♥ landed on the turn.

On the next hand, Joseph Ozimok opened to 400,000 in early position and Ali called on the button. They went heads-up to a flop of J♠9♣5♦ where Ozimok continued with a bet of 325,000. Ali called and the 7♦ rolled off on the turn.

Ozimok checked this time and Ali counted out a bet of 800,000. Ozimok check-raised to 2,100,000 and Ali stuck around for the 2♠ on the river. Ozimok used both hands to slide out a bet of 3,200,000 and Ali was forced to fold again.
