Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Left with 60,000 chips 20 minutes before the end of Level 9, Alexandru Papazian had 50,000 more chips 10 minutes later.

First, he won a 30,000 pot thanks to a better pair. Then he called from the big blind an open by a player in middle position, which was already called by the cutoff.

On the flop 9♠J♥6♥, the middle position player continued to 3,300, and got called twice. The turn 10♥ didn't change anything, as all three players checked.

This lack of action motivated Papazian to take the lead on the river 2♣, where he bet 25,000. Covered, the player in middle position folded, and the cutoff also mucked his cards.

Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Kyriados Papadopoulos opened to 3,200 and only got called by Carsten Mawick in the big blind.

The dealer showed a flop 7♥9♦Q♦ and Mawick check-called Papadopoulos for 6,000. The 3♠ turn didn't bring any action.

A 9♠ paired the board on the river and this time Mawick led out for 11,000. With a remaining stack worth 58,000, Papadopoulos went deep into the tank and eventually let it go.

Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

The button opened to 3,200 and was called by the small blind and Kyriakos Papadopoulos in the big blind.

All three players checked the flop 10♠4♦5♠. However, on the turn 6♦, Papadopoulos took the lead by betting 7,000. The button looked unhappy but folded, while the small blind eventually called.

On the river 2♣, Papadopoulos fired another bet of 18,000, and the small blind checked and called once again. Papadopoulos briefly revealed his cards Jx9x but quickly threw them into the muck as his opponent showed 10♥9♥ for a pair.

Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

The flop already showed 9♦9♣Q♣ in a heads-up raised pot when Everett Carlton check-raised to 10,000 from the big blind a bet worth 5,000 from Carlos Perez. The latter called.

The turn fell the 3♣ and Carlton bet 17,000. Perez shoved for 18,500 and Carlton completed to create the following showdown:

Carlos Perez: K♣Q♥
Everett Carlton: Q♠4♥

The J♦ landed on the river and Perez took down the pot tanks to a higher kicker.
