Three-handed on a board of 7♠4♦9♣2♠, Piotr Sztential bet 13,000 from early position and Luigi Shehadeh moved all in for his last 18,300 in middle position. Robert Novak gave it some thought in the big blind before mucking, while Sztential quickly called.

Sztential showed K♥9♠ for top pair, but Shehadeh had A♠A♦ and improved to a set on the A♥ river to double up.

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Heads up on a J♠K♥10♣8♠ board with a large pot already brewing, Vito Vella checked from the big blind and Hen Rosilio bet 22,000 from the hijack. Vella called.

The 2♦ completed the board and Rosilio shoved for 65,300 total — sending Vella deep into the tank.

Vella eventually landed on a call and Rosilio tapped the table in acknowledgement as he turned over 10♥9♥. Vella tabled A♣A♦ and was sent the rest of Rosilio's chips.

Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Timo Kamphues raised to 2,700 in the cutoff and was called by button Robert Saffran and small blind Oliver Heidel. Manig Loeser then three-bet to 16,500 in the big blind and Kamphues and Heidel both called.

The flop came K♠2♥3♠ and Loeser continued for 25,500. Kamphues folded, but Heidel moved all in for around 80,000. Loeser peeked back at his cards before calling.

Oliver Heidel: 9♠7♠
Manig Loeser: A♥K♣

Loeser had top pair, while Heidel was chasing a flush draw. The K♦ turn improved Loeser to trips. The river was the A♠ and Heidei made his flush, but Loeser also improved to a full house to win the massive pot and send Heidel to the rail.

Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Viktor Blom opened to 2,600 from under the gun and was called by Didier Naegely on the button and Tamas Adamszki in the big blind.

Everyone checked on the 7♣8♠9♥ flop and Adamszki checked to Blom on the 4♥ turn, who bet 6,800. Naegely called and Adamszki folded.

The 2♥ completed the board and Blom fired 23,600 into the middle. Naegely quickly called and Blom announced, "Flush" as he tabled 8♥6♥ for the goods. Naegely frustratedly showed he held J♣10♠ for a flopped straight and mucked — awarding the pot to Blom.
