Artur Martirosian bet 8,000 from under the gun on a flop of 6♥A♠3♣ before Juan Pardo raised to 20,000 in the big blind.

Martirosian called to the 5♣ turn, where Pardo moved all in for 70,000. Martirosian spent some time in the tank before calling.

Pardo stood up and revealed 9♠8♠ for a straight draw, while Martirosian had A♥J♥ for a pair of aces. The A♣ river improved Martirosian to trips and sent Pardo to the rail again.

Niveau 11 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

With roughly 22,000 in the middle and two players seeing a board of A♥5♥2♠, Daniel Smiljkovic checked from out of position and Mikita Badziakouski bet 7,000. Smiljkovic raised to 20,000 and Badziakouski called.

Smiljkovic bet 10,000 on the 8♥ turn and was once again called by Badziakouski.

On the 10♠ river Smiljkovic moved all in for approximately 60,000 and Badziakouski snap-called.

Smiljkovic tabled A♣5♣ for two pair, aces and fives but Badziakouski showed down K♥10♥ for the nut-flush to take down the pot and send Smiljkovic to the rail just a few hands after he had entered.

Niveau 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Enrico Camosci opened to 10,000 from the cutoff and Michael Rocco moved all in for 23,000 from the small blind. Camosci made the call with a covering stack.

Michael Rocco: K♠K♣
Enrico Camosci: 3♣3♦

Rocco was in great shape to double up and remained ahead on the A♣2♦A♦ flop. That changed when the 3♠ on the turn gave Camosci a set. Rocco was unable to hit a king or ace on the 10♦ river and was sent to the rail courtesy of Camosci.

Juan Pardo: 4♣3♣
Joao Vieira: J♠J♦

Pardo recognized the perilousness of his situation as he tossed his cards into the middle of the table. He made a pair on the 10♠K♦3♥ flop, but improved no further on the 7♦ turn or K♣ river to hit the rail.

Niveau 9 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Artur Martirosian raised to 6,000 in the cutoff before Aleksejs Ponakovs moved all in for 69,000 in the small blind. Albert Daher reshoved in the big blind and Martirosian folded K♦Q♦.

Aleksejs Ponakovs: 9♥9♣
Albert Daher: 10♦10♠

"Do you want your cards back?" Daher said to Martirosian heading to the 3♠Q♥5♣ flop, which would've given Martirosian top pair.

"I said call," Martirosian joked. The board ran out Q♣5♦ and Daher's tens sent Ponakovs to the rail.

The next hand, action folded to Daher and he raised enough to put Victoria Livschitz all in from the big blind. Livschitz called for around 50,000.

Victoria Livschitz: J♠10♣
Albert Daher: A♦2♠

The 6♠K♦6♣K♥8♦ board didn't improve Livschitz and Daher took the pot with his ace-high to bust his second opponent in as many hands.

dsalituro

Niveau 7 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Albert Daher had a three-bet to 18,000 in front of him from the small blind before Gha Iakobishvili four-bet to 41,000 in the cutoff.

Daher called to see the 8♣9♥8♦ flop, where Iakobishvili bet 15,000. Daher called and the J♣ fell on the turn.

Daher then led out for 37,000 and Iakobishvili moved all in for around 120,000 more. Daher snap-called and turned over 8♥8♠ for flopped quads.

"Can I muck my hand?" Iakobishvili joked before being forced to show 7♣4♣. The 5♦ river was inconsequential and he was sent to the rail, at least momentarily.

"You can afford rebuys," Daher told him.

"How much are you up in side action?" Mikita Badziakouski asked Daher after the hand

"57K. I was down 57K, now I'm up 57K," Daher replied. Iakobishvili returned to the field a few minutes later.

Steve O'Dwyer: A♠K♦
Mikita Badziakouski: A♥Q♥

Badziakouski found himself dominated heading to the 6♣9♣4♦ flop. The turn came the Q♣ and he suddenly leapt into the lead with a pair of queens.
