Level 3 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Guoliang Wei opened to 2,000 from the cutoff and Mihai Tusnea three-bet to 6,400 from the small blind. Zebarjad four-bet shoved for 32,600 and Wei, who was slightly covered, made the call while Tusnea got out of the way.

Guoliang Wei: K♠Q♠
Ali Zebarjad: A♠6♠

The board ran out J♠7♠8♦2♠Q♥. Both players made a flush but Zerbjad had the nuts and scored a full double up while Wei was sent to the rail, although he will have the option to reenter should he choose to do so.

Level 6 : Blinds 700/1,500, 1,500 ante

On a board reading K♥5♦3♦ Sultan Meirbekov was all in and at risk against Ali El-Siblani, who slightly covered Meirbekov, and a player in middle position who covered both opponents.

Sultan Meirbekov: A♥A♦
Ali El-Siblani: Q♦10♦
Middle Position: K♣Q♣

All three players had a piece of the board but Meirbekov was in the lead with an overpair. That all changed when the K♦ turn brought the flush in for El-Siblani. The 2♥ river was a blank and Meirbekov was sent to the rail while El-Siblani secured a full triple up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ali El-Siblani	236,000 126,000	126,000
Sultan Meirbekov	Busted
