Niveau 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Kayhan Mokri opened 4,500 and was called by Majid Nadeem in the hijack and Jorge Cantos in the cutoff.

The dealer fanned a flop of Q♠9♣3♣, and the action checked to Cantos who fired a bet of 6,500. Both Mokri and Cantos made the call.

When the A♥ fell on the turn, Mokri checked but Nadeem took the lead, putting 14,500 across the line. Cantos folded and Mokri check-raised to 74,000. Nadeem tank-called.

The 3♦ paired the board on the river, and Mokri announced all-in. Nadeem hesitated for a few seconds before splashing in a few chips to call off his stack of about 70,000. Mokri tabled A♠9♥ making aces and nines, and Nadeem showed the same hand with A♦9♦ to chop the pot.

Thi Nguyen was in the big blind in a heads-up pot against Candido Cappiello on the button on a board of 6♥J♥A♠6♠.

Nguyen bet 16,000 on the turn and Cappiello called. The 2♣ river completed the board and Nguyen bet a sizable 47,000. Cappiello went in the tank for over a minute and then called.

Nguyen mucked her hand in defeat and Cappiello also mucked before raking in the pot without having to show the winning hand.

Niveau 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jimmy Torres Velasquez raised to 4,000 from the hijack and was called by Vasileios Panagiotou in the big blind.

Panagiotou check-called a 3,000 bet from Velasquez on the 3♦4♥A♣ flop, but then check-raised a 5,500 bet from Velasquez on the 6♥ turn to 15,500.

Velasquez pondered a bit, but thought better of it and laid his hand down — sending the pot Panagiotou's way.
