David Salituro

Level 8 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

With around 15,000 in the pot, Andrea Radicchi and Victor Pahon went heads-up to the turn in a battle between the blinds and the board showing K♦J♥5♠A♠. Radicchi then bet 12,200, Pahon raised to 38,500, and Radicchi called.

The river was the 3♥ and Pahon moved all in for 82,000. Radicchi tanked for several minutes but eventually folded, and Pahon showed him 10♠9♠ as he took the pot.

Ran Ilani and Viktor Blom are also at this table.

Level 8 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

On a flop of 2♣7♣7♥, Peter Cieslik bet 3,000 from the small blind and was met by a raise to 10,000 by Simon Wilson in the big blind. Cieslik took a few moments, then three-bet it to 18,000. Wilson wasn't done yet as he opted to put in the rare flop four-bet to 30,000. Cieslik continued with a call.

With 63,000 in the middle, the two players saw the 10♥ land on the turn. Cieslik quickly jammed, putting Wilson all in for his stack of 65,000. Wilson conducted a brief inventory and thought about it for a while before deciding to return his cards to the dealer and forfeit the pot to Cieslik.

Level 8 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Harald Casagrande opened to 4,000 from middle position, and was met with a three-bet to 12,000 from Zdenek Zizka in the small blind.

Action folded back to Casagrande, who called.

The J♥10♥2♣ flop was checked to the J♣ turn, and that was also knuckled to the 9♠ river.

There, Zizka led out with a tiny bet of 1,600. Casagrande took some time for thought, before raising to 17,000. Zizka went into the tank, but eventually made the call.

Casagrande tabled A♦8♦ for air, and Zizka's A♣K♦ for ace-king high was good, earning a tap of the table from Casagrande.

Player	Chips	Progress
Zdenek Zizka	445,000 427,800	427,800

Harald Casagrande	72,000

Level 8 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

With around 45,000 in the pot on a 9♣2♠Q♥8♣7♣ board, Gerald Karlic checked from under the gun and Meik Schoenberg bet 6,000 from the hijack.

When the action was back on Karlic, he pondered for around 30 seconds before he raised to 38,000, and Schoenberg called immediately.

Karlic then flipped Q♣J♣ for a backdoored flush, and Schoenberg couldn't believe it as he rolled over Q♦Q♠ for top set.

Level 8 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

A chunky pot of around 84,000 had developed by the river, on a board of A♥10♥5♠4♠10♦, in a hand between Giuseppe Pitruzzella in early position and Marco Bognanni in the small blind.

Bognanni led out with a bet of 40,000, covering Pitruzzella's remaining stack of 30,000, and he went into the tank.

After around three minutes, and when fold seemed the most likely outcome, Pitruzzella suddenly shipped his chips into the middle.

Bognanni tabled A♦10♣ for the full house, and Pitruzzella threw his hands up in frustration as he tabled A♠7♠.

Level 8 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Pascal Pflock bet 4,500 from the button on a flop of 6♠K♥2♦ and Alessandro Pichierri called in the small blind, as did big blind Jan Krnac.

The turn was the 7♠ and Pflock bet another 15,500. Only Pichierri called this time, and the 5♣ fell on the river. Pflock then moved all in.

Pichierri had around 65,000 remaining and tanked for a few minutes until folding.

Level 8 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

There was a pot of 56,000 on a full board of 4♣4♥9♥10♦4♦ and Boris Kuzmanovic had overbet 80,000 from the small blind.

Nicusor Matei was the player facing the bet on the button and he was in the tank for some time before he finally decided to call by slamming the chips down into the pot.

Kuzmanovic then revealed he had the goods with quads holding 4♠3♠, and Matei fiddled with his phone to take a photo of the board before exposing the 9♠.

Tim Baker

Level 8 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

In a single raised pot, three players saw a flop of 7♣2♠5♠ where the action checked to Tommaso Castellano in the hijack. Castellano bet 4,500 with Algirdas Saveikis calling from the small blind, and Martin Surovec calling out of the big blind.

A 4♦ came on the turn, causing Saveikis to check again. Surovec bet 12,000, which Castellano and Saveikis called.

The 6♦ fell on the river and Saveikis decided to lead out for 27,500. Survovec and Castellano folded, allowing Saveikis to pull in the pot.
