Sean Rafael checked the A♥Q♥J♥8♥ turn out of the small blind and then called a bet of 40,000 by Richard Gryko in the big blind. The 10♣ came on the river and Rafael checked again. Gryko asked for the size of the pot and then bet 125,000 into 135,000. Rafael used two time banks and folded.

Shortly after on the same table, Phillipp Mellon in the big blind bet the 10♥5♦4♥ flop for 30,000 and Lautaro Guerra came along. Mellon bet another 90,000 into 94,000 on the K♦ turn for Guerra to call and made it 150,000 to go on the 7♦ river.

Guerra called within a few seconds and was shown the 10♣10♦7♣6♠ for a set of tens by Mellon, which the Spaniard had beat holding the A♥J♣J♦9♦ for a flush.

Lonis Loses a Stack

Level 4 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jesse Lonis took a tumble to 147,000 after getting caught in a battle from the blinds against Eelis Parssinen. The players were already on the 9♣10♣10♠4♠K♥ river with a pot of around 250,000 and Lonis was in the small blind. Lonis checked to Parssinen who moved out a sizeable river bet, and Lonis mucked his hand, losing a big chunk of his stack early in the day.

The next hand saw Ian Matakis open to 15,000 from under the gun and Gruffudd Pugh-Jones called from the hijack. Lonis called on the button and Parssinen defended the small blind.

The players were dealt the 3♦Q♠Q♦ flop and action checked around the table to let all players see the 3♥ turn. Action went to Parssinen who asked for the pot size before betting out 21,000. That was enough for all players to fold and let him pick up the pot.

Soon after, Lonis opened to 17,000 from the cutoff and only Matakis called from the big blind.

A 9♥Q♦A♣ flop saw Matakis check and Lonis bet out 28,000. Matakis made a quick fold, allowing Lonis to regain some of his stack.

Level 3 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

On a turn of Q♥7♥4♣2♦, Youness Barakat checked and then called a bet of 90,000 by Robert Cowen for the vast majority of the pot size. They headed to the 9♦ river on which Barakat checked again.

Cowen bet 125,000, and that sent Barakat deep into the tank. He took off his glasses, put them on top of his head to carefully look at his opponent and the board. Two time bank extensions expired before Barakat opted to fold.

After the hand was over, Naoya Kihara joined the same table.

Level 3 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Lautaro Guerra was the first to act and opened to 14,000 before he was called by Sean Rafael in the cutoff. Phillipp Mellon and Gergo Nagy came along from the small and big blinds, respectively, to create a four-handed pot.

The 5♠A♠2♠ flop was checked through to bring the 9♣ turn.

Mellon checked before Nagy fired 25,000. Guerra and Rafael called, while Mellon folded to trim the hand down to three players.

All three players checked the 2♣ river to go to a showdown.

Rafael announced queen-high flush and showed Q♠Q♦7♠6♥ as Guerra and Nagy folded to award the pot to Rafael.

Lonis came out with a bet of 26,000, but Koon responded with a raise to 136,000.

Koon won the pot without a showdown when Lonis mucked his hand.

Jesse Lonis was sitting in the cutoff and in a pot with Alex Foxen, who was in the small blind. The pair were looking at a J♦6♣4♣ flop with a pot of around 45,000.

Foxen had checked to Lonis, who bet 32,000, and Foxen called to see the 10♦ turn. Foxen checked the turn, and Lonis moved out a 114,000 bet. Foxen counted out his stack and then made the call to take them to the 9♣ river.

Foxen took his time before raising to 290,000, leaving just a single 1,000 chip behind. Lonis went into the tank and, after just over a minute, opted to muck his cards.

As another player joined the field, Foxen was moved to another position, and Lonis joked to Foxen, "You hit-and-run?"

On the river of a A♣6♠2♥9♥9♣ board with a massive 563,000 pot, Chris Frank pushed all in, and that sent Eelis Parssinen into the tank. The Finn used three time banks before he eventually called, and Frank announced, "I got a full house," before revealing his 10♣10♦2♣2♦ for deuces full of nines.

Parssinen briefly showed his A♥Q♥Jx8♠ and hit the rail, but reentered within one minute to join a different table.

Youness Barakat opened to 8,000 from middle position and Jason Koon three-bet to 15,000 from late position. Alex Foxen defended his big blind and Barakat called to take the players three-ways to the flop.

The dealer fanned the 6♠7♠J♠ and action checked to Koon who bet 15,000. Foxen called and Barakat raised to 60,000. Koon folded, Foxen called and the pair continued heads up to the 6♥ turn.

Foxen made a quick check, Barakat took a little longer but also checked behind. The 7♥ river completed the board and Foxen pushed in a time card before opting to bet 51,000. Barakat mucked his hand and Foxen saw a good chip up.
