Niveau 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Mehdi Samir Bilem limped from early position before Chakib Mhiri raised to 3,700. Mohammad Awamleh slid out a three-bet to 15,000 from the cutoff, with Bilem getting out of the way.

Mhiri called to the K♥Q♦Q♣ flop, where both players checked. The J♦ turn saw Mhiri check again and call when Awamleh fired 5,500. Another check from Mhiri followed the 7♥ river.

Awamleh bet again, this time for 10,000 chips. Mhiri once again made the call, but quickly mucked when Awamleh turned over A♠K♣ for top two pair.

Calum_Grant

Niveau 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jessica Teusl moved all in for 8,100 from early position, and Kassem Hammoud committed his last 5,600. Philip Joyce, with a big stack, called from the big blind to both players at risk.

Kassem Hammoud: A♠Q♠
Jessica Teusl: J♠J♥
Philip Joyce: A♥9♠

Teusl had the best of it and it remained that way after she made a set on the J♣9♣7♣ flop. She was relieved to see that neither of her opponents had a club and she held out to scoop the pot after the 2♦ turn and 4♣ river.

Malinov Gets Massive Double

Niveau 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Roberto Romanello opened under the gun to 3,000 before the action folded all the way to Atanas Malinov in the big blind who put in a large three-bet to 15,000. Action was back on Romanello who called and they were off to a flop heads up.

The 8♠10♥6♥ flop landed and surprisingly the action checked through to a 3♠ turn. Malinov put his foot back on the gas and led out for almost pot to 15,000.

Romanello sat in the tank for only a moment before turning to the dealer and announcing he was all in. Malinov snap called.

Roberto Romanello: Q♠10♠
Atanas Malinov: A♣A♠

Malinov was ahead with the rockets but Romanello had plenty of outs with the pair plus flush draw. Unfortunately, the right cards would not come and Romanello was sent to the rail after the dealer put the K♣ on the river.

Malinov got a massive double on the last level of the day.
