Level 3 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Marco Di Persio made it 1,200 to go from early position and Juan Vazquez three-bet to 3,400 from the cutoff. When it got back to Di Persio, he called to see a flop.

Di Persio check-called a continuation-bet of 3,500 from Vazquez on the 2♣4♣2♠ flop.

Di Persio checked for a second time on the A♥ turn and Vazquez opted to check behind. The Q♠ completed the board and both players checked again. Di Persio showed 6♣5♣ for a busted straight flush draw, and lost the pot to Vazquez's 10♠10♥ for a pair of tens.

Level 3 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Uri Reichenstein: 10♠10♣ All in
Mihai Hanu: Q♥Q♠

Reichenstein was crushed, and he could not find a two-outer on the 9♥4♦3♠4♣K♦ runout.

Level 3 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

A pot of 30,000 had developed, on a board of 6♣3♦2♠4♣, in a hand between Michael Sklenicka in the cutoff and Lukas Benkovic in the small blind.

Benkovic check-called a bet of 9,000 from Sklenicka, and the 7♣ hit on the river.

That street was quickly checked through, and Benkovic was surprised to see his 10♥10♦ was no good versus Sklenicka's J♦J♠.

Three-way on a flop of 6♣7♠7♣ with 16,700 in the pot, Carlos Peixoto in the big blind bet 10,000. Dinesh Alt in the cutoff called, while the small blind check-folded.

Carlos Peixoto: 9♠9♦ All in
Dinesh Alt: 9♣8♣
