Dimitrios Gkatzas then made it 60,000 to go, and Andrusca in the cutoff three-bet to 215,000. It folded back to Gkatzas, and he pushed all in. Before the dealer could give an exact count, Andrusca shrugged and called.

Dimitrios Gkatzas: A♥A♣ All in
Vlad Andrusca: Q♦Q♥

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of A♠6♣6♥, Artem Kobylynskyi bet 30,000 from the cutoff and Murilo Garcia raised to 65,000 in the big blind. Kobylynskyi then reraised to 200,000, and Garcia called.

Both players checked the 10♥ turn. Garcia then led out for 40,000 on the 2♣ river, and that was enough to win the pot.

At another table, Martin Kabrhel had opened to 60,000 in the cutoff. "If you call it's all over, baby," Kabrhel told big blind Jan-Willem Nijmeijer, doing his best Scotty Nguyen impression. Nijmeier didn't listen and called anyway.

"If you put your glasses on, I won't bust you," Kabrhel told him as they saw a flop of Q♠2♠4♥. Both players checked to the 8♦ turn, where Nijmeijer led out for 55,000. Kabrhel called.

The river was the A♣ and Nijmeijer checked to Kabrhel, who bet 285,000. Nijmeijer quickly called, and Kabrhel showed A♠J♣ for a rivered pair of aces. "A little Casino Royale. In two hands, this guy is finito," Kabrhel said.

Michael Adam made it 60,000 from the cutoff and only Daniele Sacchi called on the button.

Adam bet 50,000 when the dealer spread out the 2♣K♣8♥ flop, and was met by a raise to 150,000 from Sacchi. Adam, with a perplexed look on his face, glanced over at Sacchi, who was sitting on his direct left. After a little more time, Adam opted to fold and surrender the pot to Sacchi.
