Tyler Foran

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Four players put 5,100 each in the middle to see the A♦6♠2♣ flop. Luiz De Melo checked, and Joackim Fissenko dropped a bet of 3,100 across the line. Mark Helou made the call, while Antoine Saout and De Melo mucked their hands.

The 7♣ hit the turn and Fissenko dropped two chips across the line for a bet of 10,000, and Helou wasted no time calling off his remaining 8,500.

Mark Helou: 6♦6♥
Joackim Fissenko: 10♥10♦

Helou flopped a set of sixes, and was able to hold as the J♣ completed the board on the river.

The pot stood at approximately 19,000 with two players looking at a full board of 2♦5♠A♦Q♥10♥.

Christian Rotundo, who was under the gun, checked the action to Yuliyan Kolev, sat to his direct left. Kolev bet out 12,800 and Rotundo went deep into the tank, eventually deciding to call.

Kolev rolled over the A♠2♠ for two pair, much to Rotundo's frustration, winning him this pot.

The pot stood at approximately 14,500 with three players looking at a flop of Q♦8♠10♦.

Anton Gililov, in the small blind, bet out for 5,000. Vasileios Panagiotidis, who was under the gun, called and Ivan Kolesnikov moved all in for 17,200 from the hijack. Giliov thought for some time before folding, while Panagiotidis also went into the tank, but elected to make the call.

Ivan Kolesnikov: K♥Q♥
Vasileios Panagiotidis: 9♥8♥

The J♣ turn gave Panagiotidis a straight and the 7♥ river ensured Kolesnikov's departure. Gililov told the table he'd folded pocket jacks.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Following an open raise, Avner Sebbah three-bet in position and Luis Dono called in the small blind. The original raiser folded and action went to the flop.

The flop came 2♣8♣5♦ and Dono led out for 3,000, which Sebbah called. The turn was the 9♣ and Dono switched to a check. Sebbah bet 7,100 and Dono called.

The river came the K♦. Dono checked and Sebbah had a look at his opponent's stack before betting most of it for 10,500. Dono started to run back through the hand and shook his head before flicking in a chip.

Sebbah tapped the table in appreciation as he tabled J♠7♠ for a bluff. Rodriguez turned K♥9♥ for two pair, kings and nines, to catch the bluff and win the pot.

Jimmy Kebe opened 1,000 in middle position, and Bernard Boutboul called in the cutoff before Jakob Miegel three-bet 3,500 on the button. Kebe put in another raise to 8,500, and only Miegel called.

Both players tapped the table when the 5♠3♣2♣ flop hit the felt, and the 4♠ landed on the turn. Kebe shot a bet of 6,500 across the line, and Miegel called.

The 4♣ landed on the river, and Kebe checked before hearing the words all-in from Miegel as he jammed for a little over 19,000. Kebe wasted no time flinging his cards into the middle.
