Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Miroslav Salaj had raised to 75,000 preflop from the hijack, which got called by Jacob Amsellem on the button. He then fired a continuation-bet on the 6♠9♥J♥ flop, which Amsellen also called.

The 7♥ turn saw Salaj up the ante to 250,000, and once again Amsellem made the call. The 10♠ river was then checked by both players and Salaj showed A♦Q♥ for ace-high.

Amsellem had that beat with his J♠10♦ for two pair, and he welcomed some new chips to his growing stack.

Davidi Kitai raised on the button to 75,000 before Alf Martinsson three-bet to 250,000 in the small blind. Kitai four-bet to 575,000 and Martinsson called to see the 8♣4♦6♣ flop.

Kitai continued for 350,000 and Martinsson called. Both players checked the A♠ turn and 9♥ river.

Martinsson turned over K♦K♠, while Kitai also showed K♥K♣ to chop the more than 1,000,000 chip pot.

"You should have slow rolled him," a tablemate joked with Kitai.

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

On the hand after Anson Tsang doubled up, Stephen Chidwick opened to 65,000 in early position and Miroslav Salaj called on the button. Jacob Amsellem then moved all in from the big blind, Chidwick shoved for 1,085,000, and Salaj flashed a jack before folding.

Stephen Chidwick: 10♦10♠
Jacob Amsellem: A♦Q♣

The flop came 9♠2♠K♣ and Chidwick remained in front with his tens, but the Q♦ fell on the turn to give Amsellem the lead and leave Chidwick needing help on the river to stay alive.

He didn't get it on the 9♥ and Amsellem took the pot to send the bracelet winner to the exit.

Frank Visser

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Tamas Adamszki raised to 65,000 from the cutoff and Hyunsup Kim made a three-bet of 230,000 from the small blind. Adamszki complied with the extra chips and the two went off to a flop of 5♣4♣A♣, on which Kim made a bet of 155,000.

Adamszki made the call and did so too for the 345,000 bet from Kim on the 6♥ turn.

The Q♦ river then completed the board and Kim slowed down with a check. Adamszki chose to shove his stack of 1,615,000 in the middle. This put Kim deep into the tank, as he played around the same stack as his opponent.

Eventually, however, Kim let it go, forfeiting the massive pot to Adamszki.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jonathan Pastore opened to 65,000 from an early position and Eusebiu Jalba three-bet to 165,000 in the cutoff. It folded back to Pastore, who came along to the K♣J♣5♦ flop on which he checked. Jalba continued for 100,000 and Pastore called.

That brought them to the 2♣ turn on which Pastore checked again. Jalba now bet 465,000 with just 60,000 behind. Pastore went into a brief tank before moving all-in and Jalba called it off, then grabbed his belongings already.

Eusebiu Jalba: A♣9♥
Jonathan Pastore: K♥Q♥

Jalba needed an ace or club which he got on the 10♣ river, as he first fist-pumped and then sat back down.
