Christopher Battenfield min-raised to 4,000,000 from middle position and Amir Mirrasouli called from the hijack.

On the 9♣10♦5♦ flop, Battenfield took his time before making a bet of 4,500,000. Mirrasouli responded by instantly shoving for 20,700,000 and Battenfield quickly called.

Amir Mirrasouli: 8♦7♦ All in
Christopher Battenfield: K♠10♠

A huge flop for Mirrasouli and he did improve on the 8♠ turn, but still trailed the top pair of Battenfield.

Everything changed on the J♥ river, as Mirrasouli completed his straight which saw him take down the first notable pot of the day.

Eugene Tito raised to 4,500,000 from the button and Mircea Ionescu defended his big blind.

The flop came J♣7♦4♥, Ionescu checked for Tito to bet out 5,000,000. Ionescu responded with a shove for 25,000,000 for Tito to jump into the tank. He got up from his chair, considered his options and then flicked in the chip for the call with the bigger stack.

Mircea Ionescu: 8♠5♥ All in
Eugene Tito: Q♣J♥

"Yes, picture cards!" Tito exclaimed when he saw Ionescu's hand.

The rest of the board was completed with the 4♠ on the turn and the A♦ on the river to keep Tito ahead and claim Ionescu's bounty. Ionescu kept sitting at the table for a while and then reluctantly made his way to the payout desk.

Niveau 43 : Blinds 2,000,000/4,000,000, 4,000,000 ante

Oshri Azran raised from the button to 10,000,0000 and Christopher Castellan made the call from the big blind.

On the K♥5♣9♥ flop, Castellan check, Azran bet 10,000,000, and Castellan shoved all in. Azran had 35,000,000 behind and wasted no time in making the call which put him at risk.

Oshri Azran: K♣J♥ All in
Christopher Castellan: Q♣9♦

Azran was in the lead and would join the chip leaders if his hand could hold up. If Castellan could find a way to win the hand, his stack would swell to near 200,000,000 and he would be an overwhelming chip leader.

The turn brought a 10♠ which swapped some of the outs around, and the Q♦ river improved Castellan to two pair, but also gave Azran a straight which doubled him up.
