Niveau 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Mehdi Chaoui opened to 280,000 from the hijack, leaving just one 25,000 chip behind. Huang Wei raised all in from the cutoff with a covering stack and Chaoui made the call to put himself at risk.

Huang Wei: Q♦Q♥

Chaoui was in bad shape with a lower pocket-pair and the Q♣J♥8♥ flop gave Wei a set, leaving Chaoui close to drawing dead. He failed to improve on the 8♠ turn or p5d] river and was sent to the rail while Wei picked up a decent pot.

Yaroshevskyy's Incredible Call Sends Melogno to the Rail

Tboss

Niveau 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

With about 220,000 in the middle on the J♠7♦3♣8♠ turn, Igor Yaroshevskyy checked to Pablo Melogno who fired a bet of 135,000. Yaroshevskyy called.

The 3♦ completed the board, and Yaroshevskyy checked before Melogno moved all-in. Yaroshevskyy asked for a count and went into the tank.

After hearing it was 355,000, Yaroshevskyy went deep into the tank, using four time banks before dropping in the call. Melogno tapped the table to say good call as he rolled over Q♥5♥, and Yaroshevskyy showed A♦K♠ to drag the pot with just ace-high.

A very low board 8♣4♣5♦4♠4♥ didn't change anything in the situation, and Ahuja was eliminated in 35th place for €22,250.
