With the board reading 8♥K♦4♠ and about 85,000 in the middle, Patrik Antonius checked from the big blind and Francesco Pilato bet 15,000 from early position.

On the 9♥ turn Antonius moved all in and Lisawad snap-called with a covering stack.

Patrik Antonius: J♣8♣
Pakinai Lisawad: 4♣4♦

Tboss

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

Patrick Bruel limped under the gun as did Vladas Tamasauskas in the small blind before Andras Nemeth raised to 100,000 in the big blind. Bruel then jammed for 375,000 and Tamasauskas snap-folded while Nemeth called.

Patrick Bruel: 5♥5♦
Andras Nemeth: A♦K♥

It was a coin-flip and the K♠5♠2♠ flop connected with both players, Bruel flopping the best of it with a set. The 9♠ turn and Q♦ river meant Bruel could remain seated as he dragged in the double.

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.

Pinheiro Flops Set in Four-Bet Pot

Tboss

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

Xiong Chen opened under the gun before Ren Lin three-bet 120,000 on the button. Vinicius Pinheiro was in the small blind and put in a four-bet to 265,000. Chen got out of the way but Lin made the call.

On the K♦Q♣3♣ flop, Lin check-called a continuation bet of 75,000.

When the 3♠ fell on the turn, both players checked to see the 6♥ river. Lin checked once more before Pinheiro bet 225,000. Lin thought about it for only a few seconds before mucking.

"Show one time," Said Lin, "one-hundred percent kings."

Pinheiro did indeed show, tabling Q♠Q♥ for a full house.

"Oooh, Lady Gaga," Lin concluded as he saw the hand.
