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

Michael Wang opened in early position to 2,600. He got called by Brendan Shiller in middle position, Matt Affleck on the button, and Daniel Balilti in the big blind.

Wang thought it over an ultimatly rejammed having the others covered. Affleck got out of the way and the cards hit their backs.

Daniel Balilti: 10♠6♠
Michael Wang: K♦Q♦

Balilti was behind until the dealer put the 6♦ on the turn and the 10♥ on the river. Balilti went from a pair plus a flushdraw to a boat and scooped a massive pot.

The Q♥6♦10♥ flop hit the felt and action checked to Affleck who continued for 6,500. Leng snap called.

The 6♥ landed on the turn and action checked to Affleck who slowed down and checked it back.

The 10♦ landed on the river and Leng checked once more. Affleck checked it back and Leng quickly said "I win." as he tabled K♠K♣.

Affleck smiled and flashed AxKx as he mucked. There could have been a lot more chips in the middle preflop but he was able to dodge the potential cooler.

Niveau 12 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Both players paused before checking through to a J♣ river.

Wantman reached for his chips and counted out a bet worth 10,500. Ioli wasn't immediate in letting his cards go and seemed to have a decision on his hands but would eventually fold, giving the pot to Wantman with no need for a showdown.
