Rony Halimi open-jammed from late position for 34,000 and Stefano Terziani re-jammed in the big blind, isolating his opponent, with Halimi at risk.

Rony Halimi: K♦Q♣
Stefano Terziani: 10♦10♥

Terziani was ahead in a race but the 3♣K♣3♠ flop soon changed that, with Halimi in front with a pair of kings, a lead he would not relinquish on the 4♣5♦ turn and river.

Saout Eliminates Jensen; Damages Jattin

Livello 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Viktor Jensen was all-in with 30,000 in the main pot and around 35,000 in a side pot contested between Antoine Saout and Farid Jattin.

The board read 9♠J♦6♣2♠7♠ and Saout put out a bet of 42,000. Jattin went into the tank, and after a reasonable period of time, a tablemate called the clock.

Jattin ultimately folded, Saout showed 3♥3♣ for a pair of threes and that was good enough versus Jensen's K♥4♥ for king-high.

Farid Jattin	300,000 75,000	75,000

Boika Put in Blender by Saft but Finds Hero Call

Livello 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Aliaksei Boika opened to 3,000 and was called by Stephane Tayar. Action folded to Jimmy Saft, who reached for chips and produced a three-bet of 11,000. Both his opponents called.

On the 4♦5♦3♠ flop Boika led out for 7,500. Tayar folded, but Saft three-bet to 20,000. Boika called.

The 2♠ turn was checked through by both players.

On the 9♥ river Boika took his time before acting, finally checking. Saft quickly produced a bet of 33,000.

Boika went deep into the tank, studying his opponent. After four minutes or so, a tablemate called the clock. Not long after the countdown started Boika made the call.

Saft turned over J♠10♠ for the jack-high bluff, having missed his turned flush draw while Boika had 7♣7♦ for a pair of sevens.

As he raked in the pot, Saft complimented Boika on his play, tapping the table and stating that was "some call."

Jeschka Triples Up; Madhariwar Damages Miegel

Livello 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Hannes Jeschka was all-in and had been called by two players, Krishna Madhariwar and Jakob Miegel.

There was 41,000 in the main pot and 50,000 in the side pot on 4♠J♣3♣2♥ and both active players checked their option.

The 3♥ river was also checked through.

Jeschka turned over 8♥8♦, Madhariwar had 7♦7♣ and Miegel had A♥K♠, so Jeschka took the main pot with his pair of eights and Madhariwar had the consolation of taking the chunky side pot with his sevens.

Dato Forces Beresford River Fold

Livello 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

In a battle of the blinds, the board read 4♥3♥10♥K♥ and around 3,800 was in the middle, after Conor Beresford checked to his opponent, Andrea Dato.

Dato put out a slight overbet of 4,000 and Beresford called.

The K♠ rolled off on the river and Beresford checked to Dato. Dato promptly put out a bet of 15,000 into the 12,000 pot, leading Beresford to fold after a minute or two of consideration.

As Dato raked in the pot, Beresford told his opponent "I had a king and a heart."

Jahn Calls His Own Counterfeit Card

Livello 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Soenke Jahn's open from the cutoff was called by Mohamed Kerkeni in the small blind. Sho Homma then moved all in from the big blind and Jahn also moved his stack into the middle. Kerkeni called and the hands were turned up.

Sho Homma: A♠K♥
Mohamed Kerkeni: A♥J♠
Soenke Jahn: K♣K♦

Jahn was looking to dodge an ace and stayed ahead on the monotone 5♦6♦7♦ flop. Holding the only diamond, Jahn then improved to a flush on the 3♦ turn, but an unlikely chop was still in play.

"Four of diamonds" said Jahn, calling for a card that would chop the pot. The dealer complied by turning over the 4♦, leaving a straight flush on the board.

The table reacted in amazement, as all three players improbably collected their share of the pot.

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
Soenke Jahn	34,000 34,000	34,000
Mohamed Kerkeni	33,200 33,200	33,200

On the 3♥ river, Marques led out with a bet of 13,000, leaving himself a single 100 chip behind. Ogita moved all-in and Marques snap-folded.
