Sava Krink

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Mehmet Demirkol opened the action from the cutoff with a raise to 300, only to be three-bet by Vladislav Dubanov in the big blind to 1,200. Unfazed, Demirkol four-bet to 3,600, and Dubanov made the call.

The flop came 9♠8♣4♣, and Demirkol continued with a bet of 1,600, which Dubanov check-called.

Both players opted to check on the 5♥ turn.

The river brought the 6♦, and this time Dubanov took control with a hefty bet of 7,500. Demirkol went deep into the tank, thinking it over for a good three minutes before making the call. Dubanov double-checked his cards at showdown but ultimately decided to muck, allowing Demirkol to scoop the pot without revealing his hand.

The 3♥ turn was checked through. On the 10♠ river, Okolovich fired out a bet of 3,700, and Bortsov went into the tank.

Kai Cocklin

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

With around 7,000 chips in the pot on a board that read 3♠6♠2♦9♣, Monica Vaka had checked it over to Adrien Quetelart, who then made a bet of 6,000. Vaka put in the check-raise to 15,000, which left Quetelart with a decision for his remaining stack of just over 8,000. After a while in the tank, Quetelart elected to put himself at risk, and called.

Adrien Quetelart: Q♣Q♦ All in
Monica Vaka: 9♠9♦

It was a great turn card for Vaka as she improved to a set, which left Quetelart with just two outs to survive. The J♥ river was close, but not close enough for Quetelart as he became one of the first casualties of the day.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Action folded to Marco Poccia on the button, who opened to 300, receiving a call from Yiannis Liperis in the small blind. Eric Afriat was in the big blind, and he reached for chips before producing a three-bet to 1,500. Both of his opponents came along for the ride.

On the 10♣5♣4♠ flop, Afriat continued with a bet of 2,500 when action was checked to him. Poccia called and Liperis folded.

The 8♠ rolled off on the turn, and both players checked their option.

The A♦ completed the board, and Afriat took some time to think before firing out a bet of 7,500, close to pot. Poccia deliberated for a moment but ultimately sent his hand to the dealer.

Gonzalo Almeida kicked off the action from the hijack with a raise to 300, and Alexandr Kilennikov in the cutoff and both of the blinds called.

When the Q♦ landed on the river, both players checked. Almeida revealed A♠J♠ for two pair, and with Kilennikov mucking his hand, Almeida scooped the pot.
