Level 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Yuhan Wang came in with a raise to 22,000 from the cutoff and Simone Pegolotti defended out of the big blind.

Pegolotti check-called a bet of 20,000 from Wang on the 6♥K♦4♥ flop.

A 9♠ rolled off on the turn and Pegolotti check-called another bet from Wang, this time for 60,000.

Pegolotti checked for the last time when the 6♦ completed the board, and Wang slid out a bet of 210,000. Pegolotti quickly called, and Wang revealed J♣6♣ for trip sixes on the river. Pegolotti mucked, and Wang scooped in the pot.

Rutger Hennen opened to 20,000 from the cutoff, and was met with a three-bet to 55,000 from Viorel Gavrila on the button.

Action folded back to Hennen, who called.

The Q♦J♦8♦ flop was checked to the A♥ turn, where Hennen fired out a bet of 30,000, and Gavrila quickly called.

The 4♠ river completed the board, and Hennen fired again with a bet of 70,000. Gavrila again quickly called.

Hennen tabled K♥J♠ for a third pair jacks, but Gavrila had A♦4♥ for two pair, and scooped the pot.

Spoddig checked over to Shylko once more, and this time Shylko took several minutes before announcing all in for 149,000. Spoddig snap-called and turned over Q♣Q♠, but Shylko had A♥A♦ to win the pot and double up.

Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Renji Mao was getting up out of his chair, looking slightly stunned as his A♣K♦ came off worst against Elias Vaaraniemi's 4♥4♣ on a board of 3♠3♥2♦5♦4♦.

Mao had rivered a straight, but the river was also good to Vaaraniemi, who was ahead the whole way, and had improved from two pair to a full house.

Robert Ashelm raised to 16,000 under the gun and Roberto Manfredi called in early position. Luigi Pignataro then three-bet to 46,000 in middle position, and both opponents called.

The flop came K♦9♥3♥ and Pignataro bet 51,000. Ashelm called, but Manfredi then moved all in for 349,000. Pignataro called for his last 70,000, while Ashelm shot up from his seat and asked the dealer to confirm Manfredi's stack before he also slammed in a tower of chips to call.

Luigi Pignataro: A♦A♣ All in
Roberto Manfredi: 3♦3♠ All in
Robert Ashelm: K♥Q♥

Ashelm had top pair with a flush draw, Pignataro showed two aces, but Manfredi was in the lead with a set. The Q♦ turn gave Ashelm additional outs with two pair, but Manfredi held on through the 10♣ river to scoop the pot. Pignataro was eliminated, while Manfredi earned the double up off Ashelm.

Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Pascal Pflock raised to 16,000 from the cutoff and Pascal Pflock three-bet out of the small blind to 65,000. Once the big blind folded, Calamusa four-bet to 160,000. Pflock five-bet ripped it, and Calamusa called for his stack of 551,000 total.

Pierre Calamusa :K♥K♠ All in
Pascal Pflock: A♥K♦

It was a cooler that would see either Calamusa or Pflock win a seven-figure pot. Calamusa's cowboys remained ahead on the 8♥5♥Q♠9♦4♣ runout and he doubled up, while Pflock was left with under 20 big blinds.
