The Italian just opened again and Eric Cech defended the big blind. On the flop, Cech check-called a bet worth 175,000 before the turn and river went check, check.
David Kahan previously scored a lucky double through Rehman Kassam and the latter just took revenge in a battle of the blinds. Kahan had found a premium with in the small blind and Kassam was all in and at risk out of the big blind for 630,000 with the .
The flop came and Kassam picked up a few more outs. After the turn, he improved to two pair and even made a full house with the river. "Can you smile now please, bro" Daniel Harwood said while the pot was shipped to Kassam.

Paul Skipper raised from early position to 80,000 and the action folded around to James Mitchell in the big blind, who three-bet. Skipper then four-bet all in for around 950,000 and Mitchell quickly called.
