Level 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Julien Sitbon and Irena Macesovic were heads-up on a board of J♥J♦7♥3♣6♠ when Sitbon bet 28,000 in middle position. Macesovic came back with an all-in shove, having Sitbon's remaining 40,000 covered.

"No jacks," Macesovic told him as Sitbon held A♥A♠ above the table.

"Is it okay to fold this," Sitbon asked a tournament official as he tanked for several minutes.

"Okay, help me. Please tell me what to do," he said to Macesovic. "Can I keep these in my pocket for next hand?"

Riadh Farhat then came by from another table and saw Sitbon's cards. "Call," he said, pretending to put Sitbon's chips in.

"If he calls, you should play against him," Sitbon told Macesovic. "This is for you," he added, throwing the A♥ in to the middle, followed by the A♠. Macesovic mucked without showing.

"Threes or sixes," Sitbon asked her.

"I don't remember," Macesovic replied.

"Don't lie to me," Sitbon added.

"I remember. I just don't want to tell you," as the easy-going table had a good laugh at their table banter.

Level 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Daniel Budin raised to 6,5000 from early position and called when Junhyoung Li three-bet to 17,000 on his immediate left.

Budin check-called for 12,500 on the 5♥5♠4♦ flop before the 9♠ turn checked through to the 9♣ river.

Budin bet 17,000 and was quickly called. Budin immediately mucked his cards and Li took in the pot without having to table his hand.

The following hand, Budin moved all in for 51,000. Philipp Krieger rejammed for 104,000 which folded out the the button and the blinds.

Daniel Budin: 3♥3♠
Philipp Krieger: Q♥J♣

Budin remained ahead on the 10♣7♣7♦ flop but was at risk of being counterfeited. The 9♣ turn gave Kriger an open-ended straight draw as well as a flush draw. The K♣ river completed both of those and he claimed the mystery bounty token.

Level 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Ilija Savevski was all in for around 20,000 under the gun, Besmir Hodaj had his last 120,000 in from the hijack, and Daniele Sacchi had them both covered and at risk in middle position.

Ilija Savevski: 9♣9♥
Besmir Hodaj: K♣J♣
Daniele Sacchi: A♦4♥

The 2♣5♣7♠ flop gave Hodaj a flush draw, while the turn came the 2♥. Savevski was still in the lead with his pair of nines, but the river brought the K♠ and Hodaj made two pair to send him to the rail while earning him a double up off Sacchi.
