Andrea Radicchi raised from middle position with Kai Nicholls calling from the next seat, and Jeannette Mendez calling on the button. Martin Vittek squeezed it up to 3,700 from the small blind, which was called by all of his opponents.

Four ways to the J♠7♠6♣ flop that saw Vittek fire out for 5,400 and only Nicholls called to see a turn.

Vittek jammed for Nicholls' remaining 23,000 on the 6♠ turn, and Nicholls instantly called.

Kai Nicholls: 8♠5♠ All in
Martin Vittek: Q♠Q♥

Nicholls had turned a flush and just needed to dodge a spade, queen, or six on the river to double through Vittek. The 2♣ rolled off to complete the board, and Nicholls doubled up with a flush.

Player	Chips	Progress
Andrea Radicchi	240,000 5,000	5,000
Martin Vittek	137,000 4,000	4,000

Level 4 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Massoud Alyas had requested the all-in triangle several times today, and was at it again after his stack of around 27,000 was in the middle from the button. Kevin Schafer Barthold put his tablemate at risk from the big blind.

Massoud Alyas: Q♣J♣ All in
Kevin Schafer Barthold: 10♠10♦

Alyas was in a flip, but couldn't find anything to work with on the 5♣8♥8♠ flop. A 5♦ on the turn left him with one shot at survival, but the A♠ river wasn't it, which ended his day early.

Player	Chips	Progress
Kevin Schafer Barthold	135,000 35,000	35,000
Massoud Alyas	Busted
Tomas Zeleny	Busted

Level 4 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Pierre Huter came in with a limp from middle position and Massoud Alyas also called from the next seat. Lukas Pazma made it 2,500 to go from the button with Shashank Jain calling from the big blind, and the two limpers also opting to call.

Four ways to the 7♠2♣Q♥ flop where the action checked to Pazma. He bet 2,500 and only Huter called to see another street.

A 9♦ fell on the turn and Huter checked for a second time. Pazma fired out 6,500 and this was enough to get Huter to toss his cards into the muck.
