Adrian Mateos was all in from under the gun for his last 12,000 and received calls from Albert Daher in the cutoff and Mikita Badziakouski in the big blind.

Both Daher and Badziakouski checked the flop and turn leading to a final board of A♦Q♦4♦2♥Q♥. Badziakouski checked and folded to a 10,000 bet from Daher.

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.

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

Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 5,000 and Joao Vieira called before Daniel Rezaei three-bet to 18,000 in the small blind. Juan Pardo threw in his last 8,000 in the big blind, Ponakovs folded, but Vieira then reshoved for 90,000. Rezaei used a few of his time banks before folding.

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.

Gha Iakobishvili bet 8,500 from the cutoff on a board of Q♠10♦6♥2♣ before Juan Pardo, under the gun, raised to 28,000.

Iakobishvili called to the 2♥ river, where Pardo moved all in. "Gift," Iakobishvili said as he called for his last 55,000.

Pardo could only show 9♠8♣ for a missed straight, while Iakobishvili had J♠10♠ for a pair of tens to double up and leave Pardo on an extreme short stack.

Both Enrico Camosci and Aleksejs Ponakovs reentered soon after busting earlier this level.

Enrico Camosci: Q♠J♥
Juan Pardo: A♠9♠

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.

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.

Niveau 6 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Gregoire Auzoux opened to 4,000 from middle position and was called by Albert Daher in the hijack and Mikita Badziakouski in the big blind.

The flop came 10♣4♠2♣. Badziakouski checked, Auzoux bet 8,000, Daher raised to 20,000, Badziakouski folded and Auzoux moved all in for roughly 50,000. Daher snap-called with a covering stack.

Gregoire Auzoux: Q♥Q♣
Albert Daher: A♣9♣

Auzoux was ahead with an overpair but Daher had outs in the form of a flush draw and live ace. The Q♣ river gave Auzoux a set but Daher the nut-flush. The board failed to pair on the 9♥ river and Auzoux became the next to hit the rail while Daher took down a healthy pot.
