Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Alberto Speranzoni raised to 40,000 from the cutoff and Serkan Kuru called from the big blind.

Kuru started with a check on the 10♥10♣A♦ flop, and Speranzoni bet 20,000. Kuru made the call.

A 5♠ fell on the turn, and Kuru checked for a second time. Speranzoni bet 30,000, and Kuru instantly called.

When the Q♦ came to complete the board, Kuru jammed for his last 120,000. Speranzoni went into the tank, and Kuru quipped, "Write it down, I play perfect."

Speranzoni eventually let go of his hand, and Kuru revealed A♣7♥ for aces-up as he dragged in the pot.

With 125,000 in the middle on a flop of J♠K♣4♠, Lulei Hu checked out of the blinds and Daniel Pidun fired out 55,000 from the button. Hu called.

A 9♥ on the turn saw Hu check-call a bet of 95,000 from Pidun.

Hu checked for the last time when the 3♥ fell on the river, and Pidun bet 145,000. Hu called and Pidun instantly mucked, allowing Hu to drag in the pot without having to show.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Ferdinando D'Alessio made it 40,000 from middle position before Gerald Karlic three-bet the small blind to 180,000. D'Alessio stuck around with a call.

A monotone flop of A♠K♠8♠ revealed itself and Karlic tossed out a bet of 125,000. D'Alessio continued in the form of a call.

The A♦ rolled off on the turn, causing Karlic to place out a second barrel of 285,000. After a brief pause, D'Alessio jammed for around 700,000, resulting in a quick fold from Karlic.
