Nível 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Lukas Robinson opened to 1,200 from middle position and was called by Harald Sammer on the button. Bogdan Munteanu then moved all in from the small blind for 23,900.

Robinson took a moment before moving all in himself, forcing Sammer to fold and leaving Munteanu at risk.

Bogdan Munteanu: A♥Q♠
Lukas Robinson: 10♥10♦

The flop of 9♥6♣Q♣ left Munteanu in front, while the 3♠ turn and 3♣ river cemented his double up.

Robinson then opened the next hand to 1,200 and was promptly three-bet by Munteanu to 3,600. The call was made to see the K♥K♠10♦ flop, where Robinson check-called a bet of 2,500.

Both players checked the J♠ turn before Robison led out on the 5♠ river for 4,000. Munteanu made the lay down, giving some of his chips back to Robinson.

Bedir Unexpectedly Triples; Koloszar Busts Koop With Ace-High

Nível 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Selahaddin Bedir was all in for around 2,500 from the cutoff and was up against Daniel Koloszar under the gun and big blind Niko Koop.

The flop came 7♦8♥5♦ and Koop led out for 4,500. Koloszar called to create a side pot as the 3♥ fell on the turn.

Koop then moved all in for 12,500 and Koloszar called. Koop showed K♥9♥ for a flush draw, Koloszar had A♥J♥ for a higher flush draw, while Bedir found himself still in front with 4♥4♠ and needed to dodge the river to survive.

The Q♣ fell on the river and Bedir scooped the main pot to triple up, while Koloszar sent Koop to the rail to bust his stack past 120,000.

Leetz Runs Into Parmasto's Kings

Nível 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

A massive pot of around 28,000 was already in the middle as Priit Parmasto and Brandon Leetz went to the turn on a board of 9♣2♦6♣6♦.

Parmasto, on the button, then moved all in for 39,000 as Leetz began kneeling on his chair and leaning over the table.

"Call or fold," he asked Parmasto.

"I don't know what I have. Up to you," Parmasto replied.

Leetz eventually tossed in a chip to call and turned over 10♣10♠. Parmasto, though, had K♥K♠ and held on through the J♣ river to secure the double up.

"Because the flush draw? I do it with a flush draw as well," Parmasto reassured Leetz.

"You would do the same with a flush draw?" a tablemate asked.

"Of course. Who wouldn't?" Parmasto replied.

Bigot Four-Bets, Raises the River

Nível 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Aren Bezhanyan three-bet to 4,100 on the button before Fabrice Bigot, under the gun, four-bet to 11,000.

Bezhanyan called to the 8♣7♦9♥ flop as Bigot sat motionless for a minute before checking. Bezhanyan also took his time until checking back.

The turn came the K♠ and Bigot again paused for a moment before tapping the felt. Bezhanyan used up a few minutes before he checked to the K♥ turn.

Bigot checked again and Bezhanyan then slowly bet 8,500. Bigot tanked once more, then emerged with a raise to 21,000. It was then Bezhanyan's turn to use up some more time as he gathered his stack into a tower, then looked over at Bigot to check for a reaction.

Bigot gave off none and Bezhanyan eventually folded in a hand that took nearly 10 minutes off the clock.

Evgenii Sboev raised to 1,000 under the gun before Andrew Gray three-bet to 3,500 in the cutoff. Carl Shaw called on the button as action went back to Sboev, who put in a four-bet to 11,700.

Both Gray and Shaw called, putting more than 30,000 in the pot already as they went three-handed to the 2♥5♣7♠ flop. Sboev then led out for 4,500 and Gray called, while Shaw got out of the way.

The turn came the 3♥ and Sboev checked over to Gray who moved all in. "Alright, let's gamble," Sboev said as he slammed in his last 21,000 after tanking for a few minutes.

Gray showed 10♠10♥, while Sboev had K♥5♥ for a pair and flush draw. The A♥ fell on the river and Sboev made his flush to double up.
