Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Cedric Weinberg limped in from the small blind and Abel Martinez checked his option in the big.

Heads up to a flop that came A♠K♠4♣. Weinberg took the lead for 600 and Martinez made the call.

The Q♥ turned and Weinberg continued for an additional 1,400. Martinez was undeterred.

The 10♣ fell on the river and Weinberg bet 7,000, enough to put Martinez all in. Martinez remained in the tank for some time before calling off the bet for his tournament life.

Weinberg tabled J♣3♦ for the nut straight while Martinez was sent to the rail as he held A♣7♣.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

In a three-way pot on a flop of K♦10♦5♥, Timur Margolin checked from the small blind and Deddi Or-Paz checked in middle position.

Margolin checked on the Q♥ turn and snap-called as Or-Paz moved all in.

Eugen Pop: A♦6♦
Deddi Or-Paz: K♣Q♠
Timur Margolin: A♥J♣
