Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Krasimir Yankov opened for 6,000 in late position and got called by David Skidmore in hijack. Alejandro Lococo in cutoff shoved all-in for around 70,000. When action returned to him, Yankov jammed all-in for 103,000. Skidmore flat called.
Alejandro Lococo: 10♣10♥ 
Krasimir Yankov: A♠J♣
David Skidmore: A♣Q♥
Lococo was ahead but lost the lead the moment the flop dropped 9♦2♠J♦ pushing Yankov in front. Nothing changed on the runout 7♣3♦ eliminating Lococo and giving Yankov a great boost in chips.

Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
On a pot of 50,000 and a flop of J♠K♣4♣, Farhad Jamasi fired 25,000 in the small blind and Stoyan Madanzhiev on the button called.
On the turn 5♥, Jamasi kept at it with 35,000 and still Madanzhiev called. On the river 8♥, Jamasi checked. He started counting how much he had behind while Madanzhiev mulled over his situation.
Madanzhiev pushed 140,000 into the pot, leaving one 500-chip behind. Jamasi, visibly frustrated, had a look at his cards before folding his hand.
