Level 3 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

With around 35,000 chips in the pot on a board of 10♠J♠5♦5♠, Denis Lehmann had fired 10,000, Dinesh Alt folded, and Vladimer Gigolashvili called.

A 6♣ dropped on the river and Lehmann put out another bet of 25,000, which sent Gigolashvili into the tank. Gigolashvili was thinking for so long that Lehmann called the clock, and as soon as he did, Gigolashvili shoved. Lehmann had around 50,000 remaining in his stack and snap-called.

Gigolashvili flipped J♥J♦ for a full house, and Lehmann revealed A♠Q♠ for the nut flush, then made his way to the exit.

Level 3 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

The pot stood at around 3,900 with a flop of 4♠6♣10♦ when Rolando Camardese checked, allowing Andras Nemeth to bet 1,600. Ran Koller called, but Camardese wasn't satisfied; he raised it to 6,000. Nemeth responded with a three-bet to 15,000, which Koller called, prompting Camardese to fold.

When the turn brought the K♦, Nemeth led out again, this time betting 13,000, and Koller called.

On the 5♦ river, Nemeth checked, and Koller seized the moment, betting 12,500. That was too steep for Nemeth, who quickly tossed his cards into the muck.
