Frank Visser

Level 3 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Arriving on a completed board of 6♣5♣2♠4♥2♦, Said Madani tossed in a bet of 11,500 into a pot of 19,000. Janne Nevalainen took his time on the button until eventually the clock was called on him.

During his countdown, he sighed and then folded, surrendering the pot. Over at another table, 4♣3♦A♣J♠8♣ had been put on the table as board. Cheng Zhao checked from the small blind to Belarmino De Souza in the big blind.

De Souza fired 11,000 into the 29,500 pot. Zhao tanked for a bit before calling it off. De Souza tabled J♣7♣ for a flush and took the pot as Zhao mucked his cards.

Level 3 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Rama Mulaj raised to 1,200 in middle position. Brandon Sheils tossed in a three-bet to 3,800 from the hijack, which Mulaj quickly called.

Sheils continued for 3,000 on the 4♦10♦3♣ flop. Mulaj check-raised to 11,000, and Sheils tossed in a call.

The 8♠ turn saw Mulaj quickly move in for his remaining 40,000. Sheils sighed but put in a quick call with the covering stack.

Rama Mulaj: A♥K♦ All in
Brandon Sheils: A♦3♦

Sheils figured he would be behind but he was miles ahead of Mulaj's ace-king high. The Q♣ river did not improve Mulaj's hand, sending him to the rail early on Day 1.

Selcuk sized up to 6,000 on the 2♠ turn and was once again check-called by Oikonomou. Selcuk attempted to buy the pot with his 3,300 bet on the 10♥ river but was quickly check-raised all-in by his opponent.
