Level 2 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action was joined on the 6♥7♠J♠ flop with 40,000 in the middle.

Mike Meskin bet out from the cutoff for 12,000, only to face a raise to 40,000 from Boris Kolev. Meskin countered with a re-raise to 80,000, which was met with a re-re-raise all in from Kolev for 126,500. Meskin snap-called and had Kolev covered.

Boris Kolev: 7♣6♣ All in
Mike Meskin: A♠A♦

No ace or jack to save Meskin's bullets on the 4♣ turn nor the 8♦ river, and Kolev was shipped the pot for a double-up.

Anticlimactic Showdown

Level 2 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Seeing a raise ahead of him from under the gun, John Duci three-bet to 10,500 from the small blind. Neil Warren then put in a four-bet to 25,000 from the big blind, which removed the under-the-gun player from the equation, but Duci called.

Duci checked in flow on the 8♦9♦4♠ flop, and Warren continued for 15,000. Duci then check-raised to 48,000, which Warren called.

The J♣ joined the board, and Duci moved all in for 83,000. Warren wasn't over the moon about it, but flicked in a chip to signal a call.

John Duci: A♥A♦ All in
Neil Warren: A♠A♣

No blood was spilled, as both players flipped over pocket aces.

The dealer completed the board with the 9♠ before splitting the pot.

Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 3,500 from middle position, and Viktor Blom called in the big blind. The flop came 9♥A♣2♦, and Ponakovs fired out a bet of 2,500. Blom called.

Both players decided to check on the 10♠ turn, and Blom led on the 2♣ river for 8,500. Ponakovs used most of his thirty-second time bank, then called. Blom tabled top pair with A♦5♦ and claimed the pot with aces-up.

Heads up to the Q♥3♠4♣ flop with 25,000 sat in the middle. Byron Kaverman checked from the big blind to Hannes Jeschka, who was under the gun, and fired out for 5,000.

Kaverman made the call and the players saw the 5♣ peel off on the turn.

Kaverman checked again to Jeschka, who fired a second bullet of 17,500, only to face a check-raise from Kaverman to 40,000.

Jeschka went into the tank for a short while before he mucked his hand to give Kaverman the pot uncontested.

Pavel Plesuv opened to 3,500 from early position, and only Barak Wisbrod called, defending his big blind.

The 8♦ completed the board, and this time, Wisbrod check-folded to a bet of 14,000.

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

Heads up to the Q♥9♥3♠ flop and Mario Navarro Arrocha led out for 3,000 from the big blind, and was called by John Duci who was under the gun.

The turn brought the 9♦, and Arrocha fired a second bullet of 5,000, which Duci flat-called once more.

On the 3♣ river Arrocha sized up an overbet of 40,000 and pushed it out into the middle. Duci thought for a while before he mucked his hand to send Arrocha the pot with no showdown.

Everyone Take Your Money Back

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

Alexandre Reard opened to 2,500 in the hijack, and Hannes Jeschka responded with a three-bet to 12,500 from the small blind. Boris Angelov then cold four-bet to 28,000 in the big blind, which was enough to remove Reard from the equation, but Jeschka called.

The dealer spread a monotone 4♦9♦3♦ flop, on which Jeschka check-called a bet of 9,000. That was the end of the action, as both players checked the 10♥ turn and the 9♠ river.

Jeschka tabled A♥K♠, which was only good for half the pot as Angelov had A♣K♣.
