Alberto Speranzoni raised to 32,000 in early position and Darius Neagoe called in the hijack. Karim Mzoughi then moved all in for 82,000 in the cutoff. Ian Simpson reraised to 160,000 on the button and Speranzoni folded, but Neagoe called to see the Q♦9♣5♥ flop.

Simpson then bet 115,000 and Neagoe called. The 5♣ turn and J♥ river were checked down, and Neagoe showed A♥9♥. Simpson had A♣Q♠ for two pair, but Mzoughi turned over K♣K♥ to win the pot and triple up.

At another table, Henry Dupont had moved all in for 220,000 from the button and Elia Salerno called in the hijack.

Henry Dupont: 9♣9♥ All in
Elia Salerno: 8♠8♣

Dupont had Salerno dominated and was poised for a double up until the flop brought K♠8♥2♣, giving Salerno a set. The rest of the board came 7♦6♦ and Dupont was sent to the rail.

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Around 76,000 was in the middle on a flop of A♠9♠5♦, in a hand between Roman Isaienko in the cutoff, and Manig Loeser in the big blind.

Loeser check-called a bet of 25,000 to see the 7♣ turn, where the same pattern followed, this time in respect of a bet of 100,000 from Isaienko.

The 6♦ river was checked through, and Isaienko mucked when Loeser tabled A♣4♣ for top pair aces.

Patrik Jaros and Georgios Tsouloftas went to the turn on a board of 7♣9♠10♣9♥ when Jaros bet 65,000 from under the gun. Tsouoftas called in the big blind.

Level 19 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Right before the blinds went up, Georgios Tsouloftas redeemed a bounty and collected another €12,500 for his cash budget. He then opened to 25,000 from under the gun and Rene Schnitzler three-bet to 60,000 on the button.

"How much are you playing?" Tsouloftas asked and Schnitzler replied "around one million" before the Cypriot four-bet to 200,000. Schnitzler called swiftly and they headed to the A♦K♣2♥ flop. Tsouloftas continued for 80,000 to pick up a call and his second barrel for 250,000 on the 8♥ turn shut down Schnitzler.

David Salituro

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Mauricio Salazar Sanchez raised to 25,000 in the cutoff before Enrico Campanile three-bet to 73,000 on the button, a raise representing most of his remaining stack. Salazar Sanchez then shoved, and Campanile called off his last few chips.

Enrico Campanile: K♦J♠ All in
Mauricio Salazar Sanchez: 9♦7♦

The flop came 5♣3♣2♠, while the K♣ turn gave Campanile a pair and left Salazar Sanchez drawing dead. The river was the J♦ and Campanile doubled up.

Meanwhile, one table over Andreas Goeller had shoved for 315,000 in the big blind and Yehonatan Behor called in the cutoff.

Andreas Goeller: A♦10♥ All in
Yehonatan Behor: A♣Q♦

Goeller was dominated and at risk, and the K♦4♠4♣3♠9♣ board kept Behor in the lead with his queen-kicker to send Goeller to the rail.

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Marco Bognanni raised to 100,000 in middle position, Darius Neagoe moved all in from the small blind, and Bognanni called for 40,000 more.

Marco Bognanni: A♣Q♠ All in
Darius Neagoe: Q♦Q♣

Bognanni was looking for an ace to survive, but no help arrived on the 9♣5♠6♥4♦10♦ board and he was sent to the rail.

At another table, Ali Cetiner had shoved for 120,000 in middle position, Jacob Finke reshoved in the cutoff, and the rest of the table folded.

Ali Cetiner: Q♣8♣ All in
Jacob Finke: 10♠10♥

Cetiner found a queen on the Q♠J♥3♣ flop to take the lead, but Finke spiked the 10♦ on the turn to make a set. The river was the 2♣ and Finke claimed a bounty.

Khayate Regrets Goading Simpson

Richard Hayes

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

El Mostafa Bel Khayate opened to 30,000 from middle position, and Ian Simpson defended the big blind.

On the 10♣6♣3♥ flop, Simpson check-called in the face of a 35,000 bet from Bel Khayate.

The K♥ hit on the turn, and Simpson checked once more. Bel Khayate fired out a bet of 109,000, and Simpson considered the position.

While he did so, Bel Khayate said "You don't know what do my friend? You want my bounty? If you call, I'll be all-in."

After a bit more thought, Simpson called. Before the dealer had even dealt the 2♥ river, Bel Khayate attempted to move all in for around 190,000.

The dealer pointed out Simpson was first to act. Simpson asked what the position would be if he checked, and the dealer confirmed Bel Khayate's all-in would stand.

Simpson duly checked, Bel Khayate's chips were moved into the middle, and Simpson snap-called.

Bel Khayate confidently tabled A♣K♣ for top pair kings, but was left stunned when Simpson tabled 10♥5♥, his top pair tens improving to a flush on the river.

Bel Khayate was literally dumb founded, and took around 45 seconds before he even got up from his chair, sitting staring at the board in disbelief.
