Gaelle Jaudon

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

Paulius Vaitiekunas started the action in the cutoff with a raise and Barak Wisbrod shoved next to him for 22,600. Douglas Lang decided to call in the big blind and after some thinking, Vaitiekunas also called all in with a stack worth 21,500 to create a three-way showdown:

Paulius Vaitiekunas: K♠J♠ All in
Barak Wisbrod: 9♦9♣ All in
Douglas Lang: A♥10♦

Wisbrod's hand stayed ahead throughout the board 5♠Q♥Q♣6♣8♥ and Wisbrod scooped the pot to triple up while Vaitiekunas made his way to the exit.

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

Attila Ivacson began the hand with a raise to 2,000 from early position. Edward Hatzakortzian opted to jam for his final 7,400 two seats over. The table folded to Fred Goldberg in the big blind, who went all-in over the top for over 80,000 in chips. Ivacson quickly folded to get out of the way, which sent Hatzakortzian and Goldberg to a showdown.

Edward Hatzakortzian: Q♣J♣ All in
Fred Goldberg: A♦K♣

The flop was all sixes as it came 6♣6♠6♥, which was of no help to Hatzakortzian.

The 4♠ turn and the 3♣ river awarded Golderg the pot and the bounty as Hatzakortzian was eliminated.

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

Mauro Ferreira's short stack was all in, with Richard Sciuto's larger stack also in the middle. Jakob Miegel and Fernando Romano continued playing for a second side pot, and the dealer fanned out the A♦8♠J♥ flop.

Miegel checked and folded after Romano bet, chasing the bounties as the cards were tabled.

Mauro Ferreira: 8♦6♥ All in
Richard Sciuto: A♥K♣ All in
Fernando Romano: 5♦2♦

Ferreira's flopped pair of eights were trailing Sciuto's aces, while the 2♥ turn gave Romano some outs. Sciuto saw a safe J♦ river, more than tripling his stack while knocking out Ferreira.

Jakob Miegel	118,000

Richard Sciuto	65,000
