Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

In a three-bet pot to the 8♣7♠7♥ flop, Kader Slila checked and subsequently called a bet worth 3,000 by Clement Bonnant. The A♣ turn brought no betting action and Slila checked the K♦ on the river.

Bonnant made it 15,000 to go and that won the pot uncontested.

The other two biggest stacks on the table belong to Aleksejs Ponakovs and Konstantin Held, the latter of which finished sixth in this very event one year ago.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Dario Sammartino raised to 1,800 from the cutoff, Ondrej Chalcar three-bet to 4,800 from the button and Tobias Peters cold four-bet to 14,100 from the big blind.

Tobias Peters: A♥A♣
Ondrej Chalcar: Q♥Q♦

The board ran out 4♠9♣7♥J♠5♥; Peters' pocket aces stayed ahead to double him up. Sammartino later announced he had pocket tens.
