Niveau 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

With two players seeing a board of 10♠2♠8♣ and roughly 30,000 already in the middle, Christopher Puetz bet 11,000 from the small blind and received a call from Maria Ho on the button.

Puetz slowed down with a check on the K♠ turn and Ho moved all in for approximately 62,000. Puetz thought about his decision for about a minute before folding and Ho took down a decent pot without showdown.

Niveau 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Taiwan's Wei-Hsun Lu raised to 12,000 and Gonzalo Ranero three-bet jammed for 99,000 in the hijack. Fellow Spaniard Jon Santos then pushed all-in for 149,000 and Lu asked for a count on the larger stack. He then called half a minute later and they pushed them over.

Gonzalo Ranero: 9♠9♣
Jon Santos: A♥K♦
Wei-Hsun Lu: Q♥Q♣

The 8♦8♥5♦ flop and 6♦ turn kept Ranero and Santos with some equity. However, the 5♣ river kept Lu ahead and he sent both players from Spain to the rail.
