Niveau 2
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Dmitry Gromov three-bet to 6,000 in the big blind and received calls from an opponent in early position and Christos Leantzis in the hijack.
The flop came 4♠J♠7♥ and Gromov continued for 10,000. Only Leantzis called to see the Q♦ turn.
Gromov then bet another 26,000 and Leantzis again called. The river was the Q♣ and Gromov slowed down and checked.
Leantzis bet 35,200 and Gromov took around 30 seconds before calling. "Good call," Leantzis said as he quickly mucked his hand. Gromov showed 8♣7♣ as he took the pot.

Sancak Makes Trips on Pamukcu
Niveau 2
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Razvan Sabau raised to 1,700 in early position before Hakan Pamukcu three-bet to 5,200 in the cutoff. Mustafa Sancak called in the big blind, as did Sabau and they went three-handed to the 6♣K♦J♥ flop.
Pamukcu bet 6,000 and only Sancak called to see the K♠ turn. Pamukcu then bet another 15,000 and Sancak again called.
Both players checked the 5♦ river and Sancak turned over K♣3♣ for trip kings to win the pot.
"I'll tell you the story. Turkish idiot three-bets and his countryman calls and makes trips," a good-natured Pamukcu joked after the hand.
