Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Scot Robinson opened to 15,000 in middle position and got two callers in Kacper Pyzara in hijack and Pingfeng Wu in the small blind.

The flop came 8♣A♥6♥. After action was passed to him, Pyzara bet 10,000 and both players hung on.

Everyone checked the turn 3♠. With two checks on the river 10♥, Pyzara fired 105,000 pushing Wu out. Robinson tanked not knowing what to do since he only had 120,000 behind.

He declared that he was folding, then spun his hand around to show KxKx before throwing it in the muck. The whole table pleaded that Pyzara show his hand. He showed one card - 9♥

Player	Chips	Progress
Kacper Pyzara	400,000 121,500	121,500
Pingfeng Wu	270,000 187,500	187,500

Maxime Taldir

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On a flop of 10♥10♦J♦, everybody checked to Isabella Lemoscosta in the cutoff who bet 25,000. Milad Oghabian in the big blind raised all-in for 70,000, then Gary Hasson in the hijack jammed as well for 64,000. Lemoscosta folded.

Gary Hasson: J♥J♣ All in
Milad Oghabian: Q♣10♣

Oghabian flopped trips, but ran into a full house. The 9♥3♦ runout completed the board and Hasson doubled up like three other players at the same time.

In the next hand, it was Ethan Yau's turn to be all-in against Davidi Kitai. Both players had ace-king, so they split the pot and the hand-for-hand play continues.

Player	Chips	Progress
Davidi Kitai	1,120,000 190,000	190,000

Isabella Lemoscosta	261,000 121,000	121,000

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

In a blind versus blind situation, the pot already contained 46,000 with a flop 10♠8♠7♦ when Marius Kudzmanas bet 37,000, with 75,000 left behind. Jose Fibla decided to shove and Kudzmanas went deep into the tank.

Kudzmanas eventually called after the floor had been called, showing J♠6♠ for flush and backdoor straight draws while Fibla revealed 9♥7♠.

The 9♦ hit the river to give a straight to Kudzmanas, who doubled up after the A♦ completed the board.
