Ramon Colillas, in the small blind, bet out 6,000. Christoph Moritz, in the big blind, and Denis Gerasimov, on the button, swiftly folded to award Colillas the pot.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Raphael Blouet raised to 3,000 from early position and Adrian Cazacu three-bet the button to 8,500. Once the blinds folded, Blouet called.

They went to a flop of A♥7♦4♦ where Blouet checked, and Cazacu fired 5,500. Blouet then put in a check-raise to 15,000, which Cazacu called.

An 8♦ dropped on the turn and Blouet continued to tell the story that he had a strong hand and fired 16,000. Cazacu didn't think for too long before he called.

When the 5♦ fell on the river, Blouet went into the tank before he decided to shove for around 30,000. Cazacu snap-called.

Blouet then showed K♦Q♦ for a flush, but Cazacu had a higher flush with A♦A♣, which meant Blouet hit the rail.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

David Djian raised to 3,000 from middle position and Daniel Montagnolli three-bet to 7,500 from the hijack. Djian called.

Djian check-called a bet of 5,000 from Montagnolli on the A♠5♣4♠ flop.

The turn came the 6♥. Djian checked and Montagnolli shoved for 16,500. Djian thought it over for a while before making the call to put Montagnolli at risk.

Daniel Montagnolli: A♥5♥ All in
David Djian: A♣2♣

Montagnolli was way ahead with two pair, but Djian did have some chop outs plus a gutshot to win the hand outright. However, the 10♥ was safe for Montagnolli and he doubled up

Sava Krink

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

After a flurry of raises preflop, the pot had swelled to around 65,000 when the flop came down 5♠3♣8♦. Romain Retiere was first to act and fired a bet of 15,000, which Ray Qartomy called without hesitation.

Both players checked when the Q♣ hit the turn.

As the river brought the 8♠, Retiere seized the initiative again, launching a hefty bet of 100,000—essentially putting Qartomy's tournament life on the line. Qartomy took his time to think it over but ultimately decided to fold, allowing Retiere to continue building his stack.
