Kai Cocklin

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Mathieu Goncalves was all in and at risk for his stack of around 16,000, and Stefan Reiser was looking to win a flip.

Mathieu Goncalves: J♠J♥ All in
Stefan Reiser: A♠K♠

An action-packed flop of Q♣J♣10♣ gave Reiser Broadway and improved Goncalves to a set. Goncalves needed the board to pair and was granted his wish immediately as the 10♠ turn locked up the pot for him. The 8♠ on the river was just a formality, and Goncalves doubled up.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With around 17,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 8♦J♦7♠, Florian Duta checked it over to Ivan Pavlov, who fired 6,500. Duta then put in a check-raise to 16,500, which Pavlov called.

A 3♠ dropped on the turn and Duta moved all in for 27,800, which sent Pavlov into the tank. After some time debating, Pavlov still wasn't any closer to making a decision, so the clock was called and a 30-second countdown was given. With a few seconds to go, Pavlov elected to fold, and Duta took the pot.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Malcolm Franchi opened the action from the cutoff with a raise to 2,500, but Farid Jattin in the big blind responded with a three-bet to 9,000. Franchi called.

The flop came down 9♥K♦6♥, and Jattin led out with a bet of 11,000. Franchi decided to raise it to 27,000, prompting Jattin to call.

When the Q♥ hit the turn, Jattin checked, and Franchi went all in, causing Jattin to snap-call without hesitation.

Franchi revealed 9♦8♦ for a pair of nines, but Jattin turned over K♠K♣ for a set of kings. The river brought the Q♦, giving Jattin a full house and securing him a solid double-up and a nice stack to continue with.
