Kai Cocklin

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Roman Isaienko opened to 40,000 from middle position and Leonardo Ludovisi called in the big blind.

On the 5♠6♣K♥ flop, Ludovisi check-called a bet of 20,000 to the 2♠ turn, where both checked.

When the K♦ hit the river, Ludovisi bet 55,000, and Isaienko eventually called.

Ludovisi then showed a pair of sixes with 8♣6♦, and that was good for the pot.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Lukas Timko opened to 40,000 from early position, and Frederikus Roelfsema defended the big blind.

On the K♥Q♠6♣ flop, Roelfsema check-called a bet of 30,000 from Timko.

The same pattern followed on the 8♣ turn, this time in respect of a bet of 100,000 from Timko.

The A♠ river was checked through, and Roelfsema was frustrated to see his K♠3♦ for a pair of kings had been usurped on the river by Timko's A♦5♦.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Dennis Schaefer opened to 40,000 from the button, and Fabio Peluso defended the big blind.

The 10♣9♠2♠ flop was checked to the J♥ turn, where Peluso led out with a bet of 30,000, and Schaefer called.

The 7♣ river completed the board. Peluso fired again with a bet of 40,000, and Schaefer again quickly called.

Peluso tabled Q♥5♣ for air, and Schaefer took the pot with 7♥7♦ for a rivered set of sevens.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Simon Wilson opened middle position to 40,000 and Sorel Mizzi shoved the big blind for 260,000. Wilson went into the tank for more than two minutes before he eventually decided to call.

Sorel Mizzi: J♠J♣ All in
Simon Wilson: K♣Q♠

Wilson found himself in a flip, but couldn't take advantage as the 10♣2♦3♣5♥A♣ runout kept the pocket jacks of Mizzi in the lead.

Richard Hayes

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Dennis Schaefer opened to 40,000 from middle position, and called a three-bet jam of 325,000 from Aliaksei Chernak on the button.

Aliaksei Chernak: A♣K♠ All in
Dennis Schaefer: A♥J♦

Chernak had Schaefer dominated, and ace-king high was good enough for the double-up across the Q♥4♦2♥9♠8♥ runout.

Player	Chips	Progress
Dennis Schaefer	840,000 110,000	110,000

Death by Quads For Beretta

Kai Cocklin

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Luca Beretta opened the cutoff to 40,000 and Paul Covaciu three-bet the small blind to 115,000. When it got back to Beretta, he shoved for a little less than 400,000, and Covaciu called.

Luca Beretta: A♠Q♠ All in
Paul Covaciu: 9♦9♣

Beretta needed to win a flip, but didn't get off to the best start as the K♦7♥9♠ flop gave Covaciu a set. A 2♠ turn did give Beretta a flush draw, but that was crushed when the 9♥ river gave Covaciu quads.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Dennis Schaefer opened to 40,000 under the gun, and received a call from Giorgio Silva on the button, before Sarhabib Karatas three-bet jammed for around 200,000.

Jose Puertas was in the big blind, and he took a moment for thought before rejamming for around 500,000, forcing Schaefer and Silva to get out of the way.

Sarhabib Karatas: J♦J♥ All in
Jose Puertas: A♣Q♥

It was off to the races, but Puertas found second pair on the K♣Q♠3♥ flop, and Karatas could not reverse the position on the 6♣ turn or 5♥ river.

Player	Chips	Progress
Dennis Schaefer	950,000 375,000	375,000
Jose Puertas	925,000 617,000	617,000
