Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Kara Scott opened the action with a raise to 15,000 in middle position and then faced a shove by the player from one seat over for around 125,000. Khalil Youssafi in the cutoff also moved all-in for slightly more, which forced a fold from all other players including Scott.

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Kfir Ivgi was on a losing run for most of the day and had dropped to around 50,000, but has since won a lot chips back. He then clashed with Javier Conde and raised to 25,000. Conde squeezed to 39,000 and received an instant call from Ivgi, who said "just put it all in, I call."

That was before the flop brought , on which Conde pushed for around 65,000. Within one second, Ivgi had tossed in a chip for the call.

Javier Conde:
Kfir Ivgi:

The turn gave Ivgi trips and the river failed to improve Conde, further improving Ivgi to a full house.
