Level 34 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Nicola Pezzullo on the button limped, then called after Antoine Delorme to his left three-bet to 1,300,000.

Delorme continued with a bet of 1,000,000 on K♦9♥7♦. Pezzullo called, then led out for 1,300,000 on the turn 4♣. Delorme took his time, but called.

The river 3♠ brought no more action, as both players checked. Delorme then flipped over 10♠10♦ and scooped the pot, as Pezzullo mucked 10♥9♣.

Level 34 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Down to 25,000 chips, Jean-Claude Ruche was all-in from the small blind, so Nicola Pezzullo didn't have to call from the big blind.

Jean-Claude Ruche: K♣9♠
Nicola Pezzullo: 10♦4♣

Ruche was lucky enough to hit top pair on 2♣8♠K♥5♣6♥ to win a 350,000 chip-pot.

With this single blind, he shoved on the next hand, and was called by Pezzullo and Antoine Delorme in the big blind. Both of them checked all the way through the board of 10♠3♣10♣J♥2♣, so all the cards went on their backs.

Jean-Claude Ruche: K♥3♠
Antoine Delorme: K♦3♥
Nicola Pezzullo: 6♠4♣

Ruche and Delorme both had the same hand, so they split the pot. Ruche now has two blinds.

Sandro Jose Alves: J♥7♥
Jean-Claude Ruche: K♠6♠
