Niveau 16 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

In a battle of the blinds, Ioannis Angelou-Konstas bet the 8♦7♥5♠9♣3♦ river for 80,000. Jeffrey Davoud reluctantly called and mucked two pair (eights and fives) when Angelou-Konstas tabled the A♠J♦8♣6♦ for a nine-high straight.

One table over, Matt Glantz was all-in for 215,000 out of the small blind and Ren Lin as the initial raiser called.

Matt Glantz: A♠A♦J♥2♥
Ren Lin: K♦Q♠9♠6♣

The 8♦6♦4♥7♣3♠ board kept the aces ahead as Glantz doubled.

Norbert Szecsi then got a preflop repot through when Jonathan West raised to 80,000 preflop as the latter tank-folded the A♥K♥J♣6♣ after using two time banks.

Niveau 16 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Since coming back from the break, Yuri Dzivielevski ramped up the aggression and kept adding chips. The largest pot of them all just came against Chad Eveslage when he fired three barrels.

That created a pot of more than one million to the K♠8♥2♣7♥3♠ river on which Eveslage in the big blind checked. Dzivielevski pulled the trigger and jammed, which eventually got through.

"I flopped a set," Dzivielevski said after the hand was all over with a big smile on the face.
