Niveau 3 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Erik Borkvik raised to 1,200 in the hijack before Ramzi Zuraikat three-bet to 5,600 in the big blind.

Borkvik called to the 10♥5♣9♠ flop, where Zuraikat continued for 7,500 and Borkvik quickly mucked.

The next hand, Borkvik again made it 1,500 and Zuraikat three-bet to 2,800 in the small blind. Borkvik stuck around to see the 2♥K♣K♦ flop.

Both players checked to the A♥ turn, where Zuraikat bet 4,000. Borkvik called and the A♥ fell on the river.

Zuraikat checked over to Borkvik, who bet 12,500. "I played soft with you," Zuraikat said as he flashed 10♠10♥ and mucked.

"I know I was ahead on the flop, but you're never bluffing," Zuraikat added as Borkvik took the pot.

Daniel Dvoress has reentered following his controversial bustout earlier.

Henrik Brockmann raised to 1,200 from the hijack and Santhosh Suvarna called from the cutoff. Daniel Kvesic also came along from the big blind, and all three players checked through the flop of 9♠6♦Q♠.

The action was then checked to Suvarna again on the 3♦ turn, but this time made a bet of 2,400. Kvesic folded but Brockmann stuck around with a call.

The 8♠ river was then knuckled down again and Brockmann showed A♣J♣ for ace-high. Suvarna tabled the winner with 7♠7♦ and took in his first pot of the Main Event.

Kurtes check-called a 1,500 bet from Stroke on the A♣8♦2♦ flop and a 3,000 bet from Stroke on the 6♣ turn.

With 30,000 already in the pot and the board showing 7♥A♠5♦6♠, Ali Amelipour, impeccably dressed in a suit and tie, led out for 10,000 from the big blind.

Jovan Kenjic called on the button and the 10♦ fell on the river. Amelipour then fired out another 25,000.

Kenjic responded by moving all in, putting Amelipour to a decision for his last 55,000. Amelipour tanked for about two minutes before giving up his hand.

Emil Bise recently took his seat in the Main event and opened from the button. Andras Balogh then put in a three-bet from the big blind and Bise called, creating a 13,700 chip pot. Balogh made a continuation-bet on the 8♥2♥A♦ flop and Bise raised to 7,200.

Balogh made the call and called the 7,000 bet of Bise on the J♠ turn as well. The 9♣ river then had both players check and Balogh quickly flashed KxQx for just king-high. Bise had that beat with 10♣8♠ for a pair of eights and he raked in the pot.

Bise has already won two bracelets in Rozvadov in previous years and is off to a good start to add a third to his collection in the Main Event.

Athanasios Kidas opened to 1,000 from under the gun and called when Erguen Sertkan three-bet to 3,000. Kidas check-called for a small bet on the 10♦K♦3♥ flop, bringing in the 8♥ turn. Kidas led out for 5,100 and called when Sertkan raised to 17,500.

The Q♦ completed the board, and Kidas led out again for 30,000. Sertkan went into the tank but audibly gave his opponent credit for the flush and folded.

Kidas proudly turned over 7♥5♥ for a complete airball which raised the eyebrows of David Miscikowski, who is at the table.

"Fool me one time," laughed Sertkan as he gave Kidas credit for his betting line.

Three ways on a A♦7♠K♥ flop, Ramzi Zuraikat checked from the small blind and Erik Borkvik checked from middle position to Adrian Mateos, who bet 3,500 from the cutoff. Both Zuraikat and Borkvik called.

It was checked to Mateos again on the 9♠ turn and he sized up for a bet of 15,000. Again, both of his opponents called.

Nobody put chips in after the 9♦ filled the river and Zuraikat turned over J♥10♦. Borkvik mucked and Mateos tabled A♥Q♠ for aces-up, which was good for the large pot.

"If I didn't have a double-gutter I wouldn't have called the turn!" Zuraikat exclaimed as Mateos collected the chips.

Shawn Stroke had just lost a massive pot to Maduka Meragal in which he rivered a set of queens, but the same card gave Meragal the nut straight.

"I rivered a set. You river the nuts. How does that happen," Stroke lamented as he was knocked down to around 60,000.

Stroke soon after got involved in another pot, three-betting to 4,200 on the button after Motokatsu Uhara had raised to 1,300 in the hijack.

Uhara called and both players checked to the river on a board of J♣10♣3♣8♣4♣. Uhara then led out for 7,000 and Stroke raised to 15,000.

Uhara came back with a reraise to 30,000 and Stroke sighed and mucked his hand.

Quan Zhou had raised under the gun and Nikola Minkov called from the hijack. Andrei Boghean then three-bet to 5,000 from the button and both opponents called him.

The action checked to the three-better on the K♥4♦2♣ flop and he put another 4,000 chips in the pot. This time, only Zhou made the call as Minkov got out of the way.

Zhou checked again on the J♥ turn and Boghean fiddled with his chips a bit before deciding on a bet of 16,000. Zhou quickly folded and surrendered to pot to his adversary.

Kuljinder Sidhu raised to 1,000 from early position and was called by Santhosh Suvarna in the hijack.

Suvarna proceeded to call Sidhu down for 2,500 on the 8♣Q♦8♦ flop, 6,000 on the 6♣ turn, and 12,000 on the Q♣ river.

Sidhu revealed A♠Q♠ for queens-full, which got a "Good river" from Suvarna as he mucked.

"It's a stupid game," Nick Palma added.
