Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

In a three-bet pot, on a flop of 10♦2♠7♠, Dariusz Marcinkowski checked from the cutoff and faced a bet of 40,000 from Eyal Bensimhon on the button. Marcinkowski called.

Both players checked the 9♥ turn for the Q♠ to appear on the river. Marcinkowski shoved for Bensimhon's remaining 210,000. Bensimhon went deep into the tank, thinking for a couple of minutes. Eventually, he made the call.

Marcinkowski turned over A♠J♣ for just ace-high with the nut flush blocker. Bensimhon had that beat with Q♣9♣ for two pair, and he had doubled up.

Eyal Bensimhon	600,000 311,000	311,000

The river was the 4♠ and Madani bet another 35,000. Thiemer quickly folded, but Dick took several minutes until he called. Madani then showed 8♦8♣.

"Wow," Dick said, turning over A♥J♠ for two pair as he took the pot.

Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Nick Palma raised enough from the button to put both players in the blinds all in. Michal Skala folded the small blind as action went on Dmytro Stetsiura in the big blind. "Is it a sweat? Let me know," Palma told him as Stetsiura leaned back in his chair and thought about the decision for a moment before calling for 94,000.

Dmytro Stetsiura: A♥8♠ All in
Nick Palma: J♦7♠

The 9♥5♦3♣ flop kept Stetsiura in the lead. "I don't want the turn, I want the river," Palma said heading to the 2♠ turn, while the 5♠ fell on the river to earn Stetsiura a double up.
