Level 9
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Artur Martirosian raised to 7,000 in the cutoff before Adrian Mateos three-bet to 24,000 in the small blind. Enrico Camosci then moved all in for 97,000 in the big blind, Martirosian folded, but Mateos snap-called.
Enrico Camosci: Q♦J♦
Adrian Mateos: A♦A♠
Camosci was at risk of busting for the third time as the flop came 4♦3♣2♦, giving him some hope with a flush draw. The 5♦ turn completed his flush, and Mateos paid off the double up following the 5♣ river.
"You're not lucky anymore, Adrian," tablemate Albert Daher said.

Gha Iakobishvili bet 8,500 from the cutoff on a board of Q♠10♦6♥2♣ before Juan Pardo, under the gun, raised to 28,000.
Iakobishvili called to the 2♥ river, where Pardo moved all in. "Gift," Iakobishvili said as he called for his last 55,000.
Pardo could only show 9♠8♣ for a missed straight, while Iakobishvili had J♠10♠ for a pair of tens to double up and leave Pardo on an extreme short stack.
Both Enrico Camosci and Aleksejs Ponakovs reentered soon after busting earlier this level.

Artur Martirosian raised to 6,000 in the cutoff before Aleksejs Ponakovs moved all in for 69,000 in the small blind. Albert Daher reshoved in the big blind and Martirosian folded K♦Q♦.
Aleksejs Ponakovs: 9♥9♣
Albert Daher: 10♦10♠
"Do you want your cards back?" Daher said to Martirosian heading to the 3♠Q♥5♣ flop, which would've given Martirosian top pair.
"I said call," Martirosian joked. The board ran out Q♣5♦ and Daher's tens sent Ponakovs to the rail.
The next hand, action folded to Daher and he raised enough to put Victoria Livschitz all in from the big blind. Livschitz called for around 50,000.
Victoria Livschitz: J♠10♣
Albert Daher: A♦2♠
The 6♠K♦6♣K♥8♦ board didn't improve Livschitz and Daher took the pot with his ace-high to bust his second opponent in as many hands.
