Action was heads up with around 180,000 in the middle and 3♥5♦3♣ on the board when Mohamad El Rais bet 60,000 from middle position. Thomas Boivin made it 180,000 and El Rais called to see a turn.

The turn was 2♣ and El Rais checked before Boivin tossed out 380,000. That was too much for El Rais and he mucked his cards without much hesitation.

Niveau 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Curtis Knight raised to 80,000 on the button and was called by Felipe Morelli in the small blind. Wouter Beltz, in the big blind, then three-bet to 465,000.

Knight came back with an all-in shove and Morelli quickly got out of the way. Beltz asked for a count before committing his last 2,200,000.

Wouter Beltz: Q♠Q♣
Curtis Knight: A♦K♥

"One of us is going to be chip leader," Beltz said awaiting the flop in the more than 4,000,000 chip classic flip. The K♠K♣2♦ flop was a disaster for Beltz, as Knight made trips.

The A♣ on the turn improved Knight to a full house and left Beltz drawing dead. "Please no queen," Beltz said standing up from his seat preparing to make his exit by the time the 10♦ fell on the river.

Beltz was sent to the rail, while Knight rocketed up past 6,000,000.
