Perry Nearly Doubles; Vecchio Very Short
Niveau 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
In the last hand prior to the break, a four-way flop of 6♠5♣4♣ emerged on which Tony Miles bet 1,100. Ralph Perry raised to 4,400 and James Vecchio called out of the big blind while Miles and the fourth player folded.
Perry bet 10,000 on the 10♥ turn when checked to and Vecchio check-called. That led them to the 5♥ river on which Vecchio bet 20,100. Perry called and Vecchio tapped the table in defeat, tossing the cards into the muck with the words "I missed my clubs" before asking Perry if he had flopped a straight.

Shylko Vanishes in Two Hands
Niveau 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
On the river of a J♥9♦5♦2♦5♣, Aliaksandr Shylko pulled the trigger and all but moved all-in while keeping 400 chips behind. Brian Battistone looked him up and both cards were exposed. The K♣J♣ of Battistone won the pot as Shylko had missed the nut flush draw with A♦Q♣.
With a smirk on the face, the Belorussian was then all-in the next hand and faced a raise to 1,200 as well as the call by Nicolas Gola in the big blind. Gola check-called for 1,500 on the 8♦7♣7♥ flop before the 10♣ turn was checked. Gola bet the 2♦ river to isolate and showed his 9♠9♣, which beat Shylko's K♥8♠.

Hinkle’s Check-Raise Gets Through
Niveau 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Blair Hinkle was in the big blind and facing action on a 9♥8♦3♠ board.
After Hinkle checked in the big blind, a player under the gun led out with 1,600 and was called by a player in middle position and the player on the button.
Hinkle then check-raised to 6,000, which got two players to fold.
The button, however, took his time to study the board. He took a few moments before peeking down at his cards, and then mucked his hand to give Hinkle the hand and much-needed chips as play enters Level 4.

Ludlow Chips Up Against Gumz
Niveau 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Fabian Gumz opened to 1,000 in the cutoff and he then called a three-bet to 3,100 by Ben Ludlow from one seat over. On a flop of Q♦8♠3♠, Gumz check-called for 2,100 and led the 9♠ turn for 4,000, earning a call from Ludlow.
They checked the 8♦ river and Gumz briefly announced his hand but mucked the cards upon being shown the 10♣10♥.

Small Pot for Kuznetsov
Niveau 5
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
With some 3,000 in the middle to the J♦7♦6♥4♣10♠ river, the big blind checked and Nikita Kuznetsov made it 6,000 to go for two times the pot. His two opponents eventually folded and the Russian won the pot, as he remains just below the starting stack.

Jin Wins Showdown Pot
Niveau 5
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Four ways to the J♠3♠3♥ flop, Bo Jin bet 1,500 from under the gun and he was called only by the table big stack out of the big blind. There was no further betting action throughout the 9♥ turn and Q♠ river, as the big blind revealed the K♠J♣. Jin had that beat with the K♥Q♣ and raked in the pot, clawing his way closer to half the starting stack once again.
