Niveau 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Wei-Hsun Lu had 84,000 over the line in the cutoff and was facing an all-in raise to 301,000 by Sam Soverel in early position. Lu thought about it and put in the chips for the call.

Sam Soverel: J♠J♦
Wei-hsun Lu: A♥Q♥

The K♠J♣8♦ flop gave Soverel a set and he just needed to fade a ten. The 5♣ turn and 7♣ river changed absolutely nothing and Soverel secured the double.

Joueur	Jetons	Progression
Wei-Hsun Lu	975,000 282,000	282,000

Niveau 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

On a board of A♣Q♦2♦ Matt Glantz was first to act and led out for 35,000. The action was then on Vladimir Minko in the cutoff who put in the call and the 8♦ rolled off on the turn.

Glantz slowed down with a check and Minko checked behind before the J♣ river peeled off.

Glantz checked again and Minko went into the tank for a moment before moving all in. Glantz snap-folded and Minko dragged the pot.

Niveau 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Chess queen Alexandra Botez took a tough beat early into Day 2 as her kings were cracked by the ace-king of an opponent.

Botez held K♦K♥ to the opponent's A♥K♠ and was in good shape to double up before the flop of 10♣J♣Q♥ gave her opponent Broadway. The turn brought the 5♥ turn and the the last king in the deck landed on the river to give her a set, which was not enough.

Niveau 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Faraz Jaka was on the button against Diogo De Melo Cardoso in the hijack on a board of 7♥K♥A♥2♠J♣.

With around 320,000 already in the middle, Cardoso moved all in for 237,000 and Jaka went in the tank before calling.

Cardoso showed 10♥8♥ for a flush as Jaka was forced to show 2♦2♥ for a no-good set of deuces.

Diogo De Melo Cardoso	750,000

Sivagnanam Sends Deyra to the Rail

Niveau 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

A player in middle position raised to 21,000 only to see Ivan Deyra three-bet jam for 66,000 from the cutoff. Action folded through to Ratharam Sivagnanam in the big blind who came in for a four-bet to 166,000. The original raiser from middle position got out of the way, setting up a runout with Deyra at risk.

Ivan Deyra: A♦J♣
Ratharam Sivagnanam: A♥K♠

The J♠Q♦4♥ flop was a great one for Deyra, but that quickly changed when the 10♠ hit the turn, giving Sivagnanam the nut straight and leaving Deyra drawing to a chop.

The river offered no such rescue, though, as the board completed with the Q♥ to send Deyra to the rail with a min-cash.

Byron Kaverman opened in middle position and Eduard Barsegian defended out of the big blind.

Barsegian checked on the flop of 5♦8♠4♦ and Kaverman continued for 14,000. Barsegian check-raised to 45,000 and Kaverman called. Barsegian then bet 50,000 on the 7♠ turn and Kaverman again called.

The K♥ river completed the board and Barsegian sized up to 125,000. Kaverman quickly called. Barsegian showed A♦5♣ for a pair of fives as Kaverman tabled 7♣7♥ to win the pot with a set of sevens.

The action folded to Szymon Bujok in late position who moved all in for his last 62,000 before Nello Neto flat-called next to act. The remaining players folded and they were heads up to a full board.

Szymon Bujok: K♠K♣
Nello Neto: K♥Q♣

There was a small sweat on the A♦J♦2♠ flop but the A♠ turn and 9♣ river gave Bujoki the pure double to stay alive.
