Niveau 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

In a pot of more than 42,000 to the Q♥6♣5♣8♣6♠ river, Gary Thompson bet 18,700 out of the small blind and left himself with a single T-100 chip behind. Weiran Pu went into the tank and ultimately called to get shown the A♣J♦ for the busted nut flush draw by Thompson, which he had beat with the 8♥7♥.

One hand later, the last chip of Thompson vanished.

Alexandru Papazian opened to 1,100 from middle position before Alex Livingston three-bet to 3,500 from the button. Renan Menezes then four-bet shoved for 13,300 from the small blind, forcing a fold from Papazian.

"Let's gamble" Livingston commented before flicking in the call with a covering stack.

Renan Menezes: 10♠10♦
Alex Livingston: K♠10♣

Menezes was in great shape to double up and remained ahead on the 5♣7♥7♣ flop. That all changed when the K♦ turn left Menezes drawing to just one out. The 2♦ river was a brick and Menezes made his exit from the tournament area while Livingston took down a healthy pot.

In a preflop confrontation Connor Rash found himself all in for roughly 55,000 against Szymon Bujok who covered.

Connor Rash: 8♦8♣
Szymon Bujok: A♣K♥

It was a classic flip that Bujok pulled ahead of on the K♣Q♥10♥ flop. Bujok remained ahead on the 2♥ turn and 3♣ river to send Rash to the rail and take down a decent pot.

Niveau 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Nikita Kuznetsov flat-called a raise to 2,200 while in the cutoff and Jesse Lonis then three-bet to 10,800 in the small blind. The initial raiser folded and Kuznetsov called, which led them to the Q♠9♠5♣ flop.

Lonis continued for 15,200 and earned a reluctant call from Kuznetsov, who then faced the shove by Lonis on the J♣ turn.

"How much is it?" Kuznetsov asked and the shove of Lonis was for 42,200. Half a minute later, the Russian called and instantly asked "do you have kings?"

Nikita Kuznetsov: A♠Q♥
Jesse Lonis: K♦K♥

Lonis indeed held the overpair and the K♣ river improved him to a set. Both stacks were counted and Kuznetsov was covered by a single big blind.

Niveau 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Darren Rabinowitz was all-in with a severe short stack but got there with J♦4♦ against the K♣8♦ of Luis Marrero on a board of A♥9♦4♣J♥6♣.

"Tens, ace-queen, ace-king," Rabinowitz then mentioned as he recalled losing with big slick to a scoop by Levon Galstyan.

Right after, Christopher Rickerson jammed for 48,000 with the A♠8♠ and Jonathan Newman moved all-in over the top holding the 10♥10♦. Rickerson used the old "standing up and getting ready to go" trick and hit the ace-high flush on a A♥6♠4♠5♠6♥ runout.

Rabinowitz eventually jammed the last 9,000 and Marrero called with the K♦9♠. The A♦Q♠ of Rabinowitz went down in flames on a K♣7♥5♠4♥10♠ and he will have to re-enter in one of the remaining starting days.

Luis Marrero	130,000
