On the 9♦8♥7♦5♣ flop and turn, with around 2,600 in the pot, Alberto Speranzoni chose to bet 1,000, a move that was met with a call from Rafi Elharar.

Speranzoni then revealed 7♥6♥, which gave him the smaller straight. It was just enough to claim the pot, boosting his stack in the process.

Christoph Pietsch kicked off the action with a raise to 700, and Peteris Enders, sitting on the button, made the call. However, it was Enders in the small blind who escalated the stakes with a three-bet to 1,200, prompting calls from both players.

The flop came down 10♦5♣J♥, and Enders took the lead with a bet of 2,500. Once again, both Pietsch and Enders called.

As the 3♠ hit the turn, Enders fired another 2,500, but this time, Pietsch responded with an all-in. Livshitz folded, but Enders quickly called, bringing the action to a showdown.

Pietsch revealed K♣Q♥, while Enders showed K♦J♠.

With an open-ended straight draw, Pietsch was hoping for some help from the river, but the 5♦ sealed his fate, sending him to the rail.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Christoph Pietsch in the big blind was facing a four-bet shove from Adrian Ziemichod. Pietsch was deep in the tank as to whether to commit the rest of his stack against aggressive action from under the gun.

Eventually, he relinquished his hand face up, which was 10♣10♥. Ziemichod also elected to show. He tabled 9♠9♣ which would have been in bad shape against Pietsch's tens.
