Niveau 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Teun Mulder opened to 9,000 from middle position and was called by Jose Gonzalez in the cutoff. Samuel Bifarella squeezed to 102,000 from the small blind, leaving himself just 4,000 behind, which got a call from Mulder and a fold from Gonzalez.

Teun Mulder: A♣A♥

The A♦Q♦9♠ flop gave both players a set and left Bifarella drawing to quads or a runner-runner flush.

Matrige Bubbles Main Event

PatrickCole

Niveau 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Boris Pesic opened the cutoff to 16,000. The button and small blind folded.

Sebastien Matrige, who had almost have his stack in the middle in big blind and ante, peeled his cards before placing his remaining 9,000 chips, into the pot.

Pesic called for 1,000 more. The two players turned over their cards as the cameras gathered.

Sebastien Matrige: A♦Q♦
Boris Pesic: 6♦6♠

The flop of 8♣8♥4♣ was clean for Pesic's pocket pair, and Matrige needed an ace or a queen to win.

The 2♣ meant that the remaining players were one card away from cashing in this record-breaking Main Event.

Matrige's fate was sealed on the 9♦ river. He tapped the table and bumped fists with his fellow table mates as he left the table.

OHairDJ

Niveau 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Tamas Adamszki: Q♦Q♣

Cech was in good shape to double up, but the 5♠8♠Q♥ flop vaulted Adamszki into the lead with a set of queens.

The 5♦ turn and 7♦ river changed nothing and Cech, who suffered cracked kings at the hands of Adamszki earlier today, was eliminated just shy of the money.

Sammer Shoves River

PatrickCole

Niveau 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Ran Shahar opened to 9,000 in the highjack and Ferdinando D'Alessio calls in the cutoff.

Harald Sammer chose to reraise on the button to 32,000. Sharhar folded and D'Alessio made the call.
D'Alessio checked the flop of Q♥8♣4♦ to Sammer who continuation-bet for 20,000.

D'Alessio took a moment before making the call.

The 9♠ turn was checked around, then the dealer flipped the 4♠ and Dalessio led for 35,000.

Sammer waited for a second, before announcing all in for 108,000.

This put D'Alessio deep into the tank. He assessed his stack and pondered making the call.

Eventually he put the chips in and Sammer tabled A♦Q♠ for top two pair. D'Alessio flipped over J♦10♦ for a turned straight.

Sammer looked visibly confused and said "that's surprising" as he stood up from the table and left the tournament.
