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

A full board of 5♠6♠3♠3♥8♥ was showing with over 50,000 in the pot when Benjamin Huegel shipped the river for 41,100. Vladimer Gigolashvili was the man with the decision and after thinking it over for quite some time, he slammed chips into the pot to make the call.

Huegel seemed confident when he flipped Q♣Q♦ for an overpair to the board, but Gigolashvili held 4♦3♦ for trip threes to take the pot and eliminate Huegel.

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

Majid Alimoradpour limped in from early position, prompting Daniel Rezaei to raise to 4,000. Both Presiyan Tsvetanov in the small blind and Alimoradpour called the raise.

The flop revealed 9♥K♣7♦, and the action checked around to Rezaei, who continued with a bet of 3,500, leaving only Tsvetanov to call.

The turn brought the 4♠, and both players checked again.

On the river, which showed 5♥, Tsvetanov took the initiative with a bet of 5,500. After some contemplation, Rezaei raised to 36,500, putting Tsvetanov in a tough spot. After a moment of thought, Tsvetanov opted to call. Rezaei revealed 9♣5♣ for two pair, and it was enough to take down the pot, as Tsvetanov sent his cards to the muck.

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

With around 20,000 in the pot on a flop of 7♠5♦4♦, Heinz Traut bet 10,000 from the small blind and Gabi Livshitz called in early position. Tom-Aksel Bedell then raised to 31,500 in middle position.

Traut called, while Livshitz got out of the way. The J♦ fell on the turn and Bedell bet 30,000. Traut then moved all in for 49,600 and Bedell shot up in his seat and let out a loud sigh before calling.

Bedell showed 7♣4♣ for two pair, but his suspicions proved correct as Traut turned over A♦K♦ for the nut flush. The river was the A♥ and Traut doubled up.

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

Heads-up on a flop of 9♦J♠2♦, Rokas Asipauskas got his last 29,000 in the middle from the small blind and Andrei Birgaoanu put him at risk in middle position.

Rokas Asipauskas: 2♥2♣ All in
Andrei Birgaoanu: 10♦8♦

Asipauskas was ahead with a set of deuces, but Birgaoanu had both straight and flush draws as the Q♠ turn completed his straight. The river, though, was the 9♥ and Asipauskas improved to a full house to earn the double up.

Zamani’s Bluff Pays Off with Two Pair

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

With about 20,000 already in the pot and the board showing 6♦3♣4♥5♥, Martin Zamani led with a bet of 15,000, which Lorenzo Arduini called.

When the 2♥ hit the river, Zamani pushed the action with a hefty bet of 100,000, essentially putting Arduini all in since he had only around 40,000 left. Faced with a straight on the board and a flush draw, Arduini found himself in a tough spot. After some deliberation, he opted to fold his hand.

Zamani, in a good mood, smiled and revealed 5♣2♣ for two pair, knowing that if Arduini had called, it could have at least been a split pot.

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

With over 50,000 chips already in the pot on a full board of 10♠10♥5♠3♦Q♣, Florian Duta had fired a pot-sized bet of 56,000 on the river into Dinesh Alt, who had a bit of a dilemma.

"I don't think I'm good enough to fold this hand," said Alt to himself before he finally flicked in the call.

Duta then flipped the nuts with 10♦10♣ for quads, and Alt flashed 3♣3♠ for a turned boat to the table before he coughed up the chips.

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

Perica Maric opened the action with a raise to 2,800 from early position, receiving a call from Daniel Sulz in the big blind.

The flop came down 7♣5♥2♦, and Maric led out with a bet of 3,000. Sulz responded with a raise to 8,500, prompting Maric to call.

When the A♥ hit the turn, Sulz took the initiative and bet 10,000, which Maric check-called.

On the river, the 7♥ appeared, and Maric checked again. Sulz then pushed out a hefty bet of 30,000. Maric went into the tank, contemplating his options and counting his chips multiple times, clearly uneasy about the situation. Ultimately, he chose to fold pocket queens, allowing Sulz to rake in a significant pot.
