Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Mohammad Haidar opened in middle position to 100,000 before it folded to Aziz Efe in the big blind who called.

The 7♠8♠4♦ flop landed and action checked to Haidar who continued for 60,000. Efe called.

The J♣ turn quickly checked through to a 6♥ river.

Efe opted to lead out on this card for 100,000. Haidar went into the tank for about a minute and eventually found a call.

Efe shook his head and tabled A♣K♦ and Haider showed K♣4♣ for just a pair of fours. That pair was still good enough to scoop the pot after a great call.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Guillermo Gordo opened the action on the button to 90,000. It folded to Joris Ruijs in the big blind who called, and they were off to a flop heads up.

The 2♥K♥3♥ flop landed and action checked through to a 9♣ turn. Ruijs took a moment and then opted to lead out for 150,000. Gordo called.

The river brought a 10♣ and Ruijs went into the tank before putting out a pot-sized bet of 450,000. Gordo snap-called.

Ruijs tabled K♣6♥ for just a pair of kings and Gordo rolled over 7♥10♥ for the flopped flush. He dragged the pot and moved into a top three chip stack.
