Level 14 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The bounty of Pedro Chaves and his remaining 2,000 chips had moved three times before being forced all in from the small blind. Chaves had abandoned his remaining chips prior to the first table move, thinking he had already been eliminated.

"This is the craziest thing I've ever seen" remarked Bert Stevens.

Yauheni Tsiareshchanka opened from under the gun to 10,000. Vicente Delgado called to his direct left. Paul Newey shoved all in for around 150,000. Action folded around to Tsiareshchanka who also folded. Delgado put in the call as the covering stack.

Paul Newey: 9♥8♥ All in
Vicente Delgado: J♦4♦

Delgado made bottom pair on the K♥A♣J♣ flop. The Q♥ presented chop outs in the form of a ten, but Delgado held on the 9♦ river which sent Newey to the rail.

Marius Gierse moved all in from under the gun for 60,000. Vlad Martynenko moved all in for 150,000 from middle position. Action folded around to Bert Stevens in the small blind who made the call as the covering stack.

Marius Gierse: A♥K♥ All in
Vlad Martynenko: A♣10♦ All in
Bert Stevens: 5♠5♦

There was an ace in the window but Stevens hit a set on the Q♠A♦5♣ flop. The K♣ turn presented outs to both Gierse and Martynenko in the form of a full house or a straight. However Stevens' set held on the 7♠ river to secure him a big pot and two bounties.

Level 11 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Thomas Santerne opened from the hijack to 10,000. Jeremie Zouari called from the cutoff. Action folded around to Jon Vallinas in the big blind who defended.

Vallinas checked the 2♦A♦10♣ flop to Santerne who bet 10,000. Zouari called and Vallinas folded. The 8♠ was checked around, before Zouari bet 50,000 on the 10♥ river. Santerne took a moment before announcing all in. Zouari, who had around 75,000 behind, called quickly and tabled K♦10♦ for trip tens.

However he was bested by Santerne's full house as he tabled A♠A♣ for aces full of tens. Zouari took the beat well and patted Santerne on the shoulder as he left the table.

Kazuhiko Yotsushika and Thomas Santerne were heads up to the river of a completed board showing 5♠8♠J♠8♥Q♣.
