Weiss

Niveau 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Gab Yong Kim was back on the offensive, as he looked to further add to his tally of bounties.

The action began with the cutoff opening to 160,000. Adam Martinsson then shoved all in for his remaining 510,000 from the small blind. Chip leader Kim then reraised to 1,000,000, which forced out the cutoff and sent it heads up, with another bounty on the line.

Adam Martinsson: A♠Q♣
Gab Yong Kim: 7♥7♠

A 10♠9♠A♦ flop was a great one for Martinsson, as he took the lead in the hand.

The 4♥ landed on the turn and the Swede looked set to double up.

But a dramatic 7♣ river gave the Korean a set and sent Martinsson to the rail.

Tboss

Niveau 30 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Pavlos Xanthopoulos opened 200,000 in the cutoff and Ioannis Oikonomidis defended the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 9♦8♣7♠, and Oikonomidis check-called a bet of 150,000 from Xanthopoulos.

The Q♣ fell on the turn, and Oikonomidis checked once more before he was faced with a bet of 425,000. He made the call once again.

When the 6♥ landed on the river, Oikonomidis checked and Xanthopoulos took about 35 seconds before tossing in a bet of 400,000, and Oikonomidis snap-called.

Xanthopoulos tabled 6♣5♣, which was a flopped nine-high straight, but Oikonomidis rivered a ten-high straight with Q♥10♠.
