Stewart Morrison

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Krasimir Yankov raised from the cutoff to 800, and was swiftly met by a three-bet as Kevin Nathan raised to 2,000 on the button. The rest of the table folded, but Yankov made the call.

The dealer spread a flop of 10♦3♥5♥, and Yankov check-called another bet of 2,000 before both players checked on the flush completing J♥ turn.

When Yankov checked for a third time, Nathan fired out another bet of 3,100. This was enough to see him win the pot, as Yankov returned his cards to the dealer.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

A big pot swelled to over 20,000 between Yuya Sakamoto and Hannes Jeschka on the board that read 5♣4♥2♥8♣8♦.

Sakamoto and Jeschka got involved a sequnce of raises that ended in Jeschka going all-in for 48,800. Sakamoto called and was shown the bad news when Jeschka revealed 5♠5♥ for a full house, which bested Sakamoto who showed 4♦4♠ for an inferior full house.

The pot left Sakamoto with scraps and was seen leaving the room shortly after while Jeschka passed the six-figure mark early on Day 1.
