Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

In a cutoff-against-button situation, Uladzimir Zhyharau and Ryan Mandara got their chips in the middle with the latter at risk for his stack of around 220,000.

Uladzimir Zhyharau: Q?Q? All in
Ryan Mandara: A?K?

It was an all-too-familiar coinflip which looked to be goung Zhyharau's way after the 2?8?J? flop, as his pocket queens kept their lead. However, things all changed on the K? turn as Mandara paired his king and leapt in front. A J? on the river didn't help Zhyharau, and Mandara doubled up.

Tomy Greineisen opened from middle position and Victor Fryda called in the cutoff before Aleksandr Kirichenko three-bet the big blind to 37,000. Both Greineisen and Fryda called.

An A? dropped on the turn and Kirichenko slowed down with a check, then Fryda bet 56,000. After some time, Kirichenko called.

When the 6? completed the runout, Kirichenko checked again and Fryda went with a bet of 120,000. Kirichenko snap-called..

Fryda then showed a straight with Q?10?, and Kirichenko tabled his K?K? for a flopped set.

Sandra Cotescu had opened from the hijack and Aleksandr Chernikov called from the big blind.

They went to a flop of 2?5?A? where Chernikov checked and Cotescu continued with a bet of 5,000. Chernikov then min-raised to 10,000, and Cotescu called.

A 2? paired the board on the turn and Chernikov fired out a bigger bet of 25,000, and after a few moments, Cotescu flicked in a white chip, worth 25,000.

When the 8? completed the runout, Chernikov stacked his chips into one tower, and slid all 37,500 of them into the middle. Cotescu thought for just a second before she made the call.

Chernikov then rolled over a flopped straight with 4?3?, and Cotescu's A?J? was revealed before it was sent into the muck.

Neagoe Scoops the Main Pot, Koks Takes the Side Pot in Three-Way All-In

After Andrey Koks had made a three-bet to 26,000, Darius Neagoe shoved his stack of 94,000 into the middle and the player in middle position called. Koks then shoved for around 240,000 total, and middle position quickly called.

Darius Neagoe: K?K? All in
Andrey Koks: Q?Q? All in
Middle Position: 6?6?

Neagoe had a great opportunity to triple up and would do so if his pocket kings held up. A flop of 9?3?7? didn't change much, and neither did the A? turn. Koks was still in the driver's seat for the near-300,000-chip side pot, and took it when the 3? landed on the river. Neagoe scooped the main pot, and the player in middle position was left with a heavily dented stack.

Eliyahu Elyashiv opened to 7,500 from the hijack and was called by Nemo Koering in the small blind and Umit Sadi in the big blind.

The flop came A?Q?4? and action checked around to Elyashiv who bet 6,500. Koering check-raised to 25,000 and Sadi three-bet to 58,000. Elyashiv made the call while Koering got out of the way.

On the 10? turn Sadi shoved for 161,500, putting Elyashiv deep into the tank.

"Ace-four? Or Set of fours? One is no good" Elyashiv told his opponent, who remained silent. More than five minutes went by before Nichan Khorchidian, seated at the same table, called the clock. Elyashiv finally released his hand, telling his tablemates that he had folded ace-queen for top two pair. Another player at the table chimed in that it was a good fold as Sadi scooped a sizable pot without showdown.

Kirichenko showed 2?2? for an underpair to the board, but Mustafov held the winner as he rivered a straight holding A?8?.

With around 55,000 chips in the pot on a board of 9?8?10?10?, Alessio Isaia fired 18,000 from the big blind position and Chakib M'hiri called from under the gun.

On the 8? river, Isaia threw out four white, chips, worth 25,000 each, which gave M'hiri a decision for his remaining stack of around 60,000. After thinking it over for around a minute, M'hiri decided to call.

Isaia then showed 10?10? for quads! M'hiri revealed his A?A?, and he headed to the rail.

A player from under the gun made it 6,000 and Mustafa Biz three-bet to 20,000 from middle position. Yaniv Shushan in the hijack cold-called, and the under-the-gun player folded.

On the 9?J?4? flop, Biz check-called a bet of 16,000 from Shushan to see the 8? turn, which checked through.

A 7? landed on the river and Biz shoved for around 60,000, and Shushan wasted no time in making the call.

Biz reluctantly showed A?Q? for top pair, but Shushan had the winner with a straight holding 10?10?.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

In a preflop confrontation Ali Yilmaz was all in from the button, having started the hand with a bit under 250,000. He was up against Pouya Ranjehdel who had him covered from the big blind.

Ali Yilmaz: A?A? All in
Pouya Ranjehdel: K?K?

Yilmaz had the best possible preflop hand but he was left drawing to two outs when the K?8?7? flop gave Ranjehdel top set. Yilmaz was unable to catch one of the remaining two aces when the rest of the board ran out Q?3? and he was sent to the rail in brutal fashion while Ranjehdel dragged in a massive pot.
