Early Pots for Klima and Donev

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Ivo Donev flopped top pair with {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} and was paid off for 1,000 on the river of an ace-high board to boost his stack slightly.

Lukas Klima turned two pair with {K-Spades}{7-Spades} on a king-high board and his opponent called a bet of 3,000 on the river to see the bad news and send his cards into the muck.

Catalin Pop dropped some chips in the meanwhile, he turned trips deuces and his opponent rivered a straight with {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}.

Targa Takes it on the Flop

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 250 and was called by the cutoff before Petr Targa on the button three-bet to 850. Both Thorel and the cutoff called and the flop fell {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}, which saw the action check to Targa. The Czech bet 1,050 and that won the pot without showdown.

Donev Calls With Ace-King High and Is Good

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

With quite some chips in the middle, the flop showed {10-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Thomas Kastenhuber moved all in against action by Ivo Donev. The latter called and flipped over {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}, while Kastenhuber only had {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for the open-ended straight draw. The {2-Hearts} turn and {2-Spades} river were both blanks and Donev raked in a juicy pot.

Pettersson and Schuhl Build Stacks

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

Patrick Schuhl raised to 350 and Theodoros Aidonopoulos called in the cutoff before the small blind called. Davida Nughes in the big blind three-bet to 1,550 and Schuhl was the only caller. The flop fell {K-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and Nughes bet 1,300, which Schuhl raised to 3,100. That was enough to force a fold and Nughes flashed {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}.

Thomas Pettersson was involved into a bigger pot with Ali Khaled and bet the {Q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{7-Spades} turn for 2,500 into a pot of 3,200. Khaled had been very talkative on the table already and eventually folded.

Targa Rivers Set to Remain in Contention

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

Markus Guazzone and Pietro Errante built their stacks on the same table as Fabrice Soulier and Jean-Noel Thorel while Petr Targa was spotted all in and at risk before the flop. Soulier and Errante were still to act with the flop showing {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Errante bet 2,500 from the cutoff. Soulier moved all in and the Italian folded, claiming he had ace-nine.

Petr Targa: {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}
Fabrice Soulier: {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

The {7-Hearts} turn was a blank, but the {6-Hearts} on the river gave Targa a winning set and he more than tripled up his short stack.

Freitez Shows Top Pair

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

After a raise to 400, Jesper Hansen called and Ivan Freitez three-bet to 1,200. Sergei Petrushevskii called from one seat over and the initial raiser as well as Hansen came along. On the {K-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop, the action checked to Freitez and his bet of 4,200 forced quick folds from opponents, Freitez flashed {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} for top pair and top kicker.
