Niveau 3 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Christophe Panetti opened to 1,200 from early position and was called by James Chen, who was on his direct left. Action folded to Andrea Dato in the small blind. The 2023 EPT Cyprus Main Event runner-up made it 6,600 and only Chen called.

Chen called a bet of 4,400 on the A♣A♠10♠ flop before the 2♥ turn checked through to the 6♠ river. Dato announced a bet of 5,000. Chen thought it over for around a minute before raising to 27,000. Dato then took his own 60-seconds of thinking time and opted to fold.

Niveau 4 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Henrik Brockmann raised to 1,500 from the button and Levan Rcheulishvili defended his big blind. The A♦J♥3♦ flop was then checked by Rcheulishvili before Brockmann made a bet of 2,500. Rcheulishvili took some time before making the call, and the 4♥ turn hit the felt.

Both players then checked, and the Q♥ river completed the board. Rcheulishvili made a quick bet of 4,000 chips and Brockmann made an even quicker call.

Rcheulishvili tabled A♥6♦ and his pair of aces won the pot when Brockmann tossed his hand into the muck.

Negjdet Avdylaj was in the big blind the first hand back from break but had yet to retake his seat at the table as action folded to Maduka Meragal on the button. He raised to 1,300.

"Steal," tablemate Shawn Stroke said as Motokatsuk Uhara folded his small blind and Avdylaj's cards were automatically mucked. Meragal then turned over two aces.

"Oh, wow. And the big blind isn't even here so it makes it look like a steal even more," Stroke added.

The next hand, Uhara and Stroke saw a flop of 10♣10♦8♠ where Uhara bet 3,900 from the button. Stroke called in the big blind and both players checked the Q♣ turn.

Stroke also checked the 4♦ river and Uhara bet 10,000. Stroke spent a few minutes counting out the rest of his stack before picking up his cards and tossing them back to the deal.

Niveau 4 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Ramzi Zuraikat limped from the cutoff and Marco Poccia raised to 3,500 from the big blind. Zuraikat called.

Poccia bet 3,200 on the A♣2♥10♠ flop and Zuraikat responded by raising to 6,500. Poccia called.

The J♠ fell on the turn and Poccia check-called a 10,000 bet from Zuraikak.

Both players checked down on the 7♣ river and Poccia turned over A♠K♥ for top pair, top kicker. Zuraikat showed he held the A♥ before sending his hand into the muck — conceding the pot to Poccia.

Nick Palma opened to 1,300 from under the gun. Kuljinder Sidhu and Santhosh Suvarna called from early position and the hijack. Duc Tuan Tran three-bet to 3,800 from the button and only Sidhu folded.

"How much do you have?" Tran asked Palma.

"55,000, but I think I'm gonna have more after this hand though," the American replied.

Tran continued for 3,200 n the 10♣5♦2♠ flop and only Palma called. The latter then folded to a bet of 10,000 on the 7♠ turn.

Three ways on a K♦9♠9♣ flop with several thousand already in the middle, Andrej Cintula checked from early position to Francesco Rinaldi, who bet 5,000 from the cutoff. Ali Amelipour called on the button and Cintula folded.

Both players checked on the 5♣ turn and Rinaldi checked again on the board-completing 5♦. Amelipour bet 7,000 and Rinaldi looked him up.

Amelipour turned up K♣Q♠ and Rinaldi mucked, sending a decent pot Amelipour's direction.
