Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

The action was picked up on a turn of 5♣3♥4♦10♥. The pot amounted to 1,600,000 chips, more than an average stack.

Mohamed Aissaoui checked in early position to Jorge Pereira in middle position, who checked back.

The 8♣ river saw Aissaoui fire 450,000, which was enough to get a fold from Pereira and rake in the pile of chips.

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Ahmed Ibrahimi in the big blind and Diego Beirigo in middle position were looking at a board of 5♠2♠2♣2♦. Ibrahimi checked to Beirigo, who made a near pot-sized bet of 425,000.

Ibrahimi flicked in a call before both players checked the 6♥ river. Ibrahimi showed A♦3♣ for ace-high, raking in the pot when Beirigo's cards hit the muck.

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Around 500,000 was in the middle already in a hand between Aitor Marin under the gun, and Mohamed Aissaoui in the big blind.

The board read 9♣7♠4♦, and Aissaoui checked to his opponent. Marin fired out a bet of 500,000, and Aissaoui check-jammed for 1,050,000. After some thought, Marin made the call to put himself at risk.

Aitor Marin: A♠10♣ All in
Mohamed Aissaoui: J♣9♥

Marin was in trouble, with two overcards versus Aissaoui's top pair of nines, and the J♠3♣ turn and river improved Aissaoui to two pair, earning him a chunky pot.

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Martin Hansen raised to 120,000 under the gun and the action folded to Ariel Faskowicz in the cutoff, who reraised all-in to 495,000. Hansen asked for a count and then made the call.

Ariel Faskowicz: A♥7♣ All in
Martin Hansen: 9♠9♦

Hansen was ahead with his pair, but Faskowicz made a full house on 5♥A♠A♦7♦Q♠ to double up.

After the hand, Faskowicz explained that he did not see the raise of Hansen and had meant to open-shove.

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Daniel Camelo Da Silva open-jammed for 420,000 from middle position, and was called by Florens Feenstra, with Da Silva at risk.

Daniel Camelo Da Silva: K♥J♥ All in
Florens Feenstra: A♠A♣

Da Silva had run straight into Feenstra's rockets, and the 7♥3♣2♠6♦2♥ runout confirmed Da Silva's exit, having been left drawing dead on the turn.
