Luca Marki raised to 80,000 in the cutoff and was called by Nikita Kuznetsov on the button and Ihar Soika in the small blind.

The turn brought the 9♦ and Marki continued to fire, putting out a bet of 275,000. Again both opponents called.

Kuznetsov showed K♦Q♦ for the king-high flush and Marki hit the table in frustration as Kuznetsov raked in the pot.

Carlos Ribeiro had just doubled up his 585,000 stack with pocket fours against the ace-jack of Stanislav Zegal, and he was right back in the action as he raised to 90,000 in the hijack.

Vladas Tamasauskas three-bet to 275,000 in the big blind, and after thinking for some time, Ribeiro announced an all-in for 1,130,000. Tamasauskas snap-called.

Carlos Ribeiro: A♠K♥
Vladas Tamasauskas: A♦A♣

Ribeiro was in a world of trouble, but the K♣Q♦5♥ flop gave him a couple of outs as he flopped a pair of kings. The K♠ fell on the turn, giving him trips to take the lead and the 4♠ completed the board.

Zegal Cracks Kings to Double

Tboss

Niveau 27 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Mario Navarro opened 100,000 in the hijack, and Stanislav Zegal three-bet 500,000 next to act, leaving 205,000 behind. Navarro moved all-in, and Zegal called off the rest.

Stanislav Zegal: A♣Q♣
Mario Navarro: K♠K♦

The A♦Q♦3♥ flop gave Zegal two pair to take the lead. Although the J♥ turn was a sweat as Navarro picked up a straight draw, the A♠ river improved Zegal to a full house.

Niveau 27 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Mario Navarro opened to 300,000 under the gun, leaving himself only 60,000 behind. Stanislav Zegal called in the next seat.

On the Q♦K♥3♠ flop Navarro took two time banks before moving his remaining chips into the middle. Zegal made the quick call.

Mario Navarro: A♠J♣
Stanislav Zegal: Q♣Q♥

Navarro was drawing to a straight versus Zegal's set of queens and the J♠A♥ runout, providing him with two pair, was not sufficient to reverse matters.
