Right after serving a one-round penalty, action folded to Anthony Kennedy in the small blind. Kennedy moved all in and was quickly at risk when Yucel Eminoglu called in the big blind.

"What can I do?" asked Eminoglu as he turned over his cards.

Anthony Kennedy: 10♣5♦ All in
Yucel Eminoglu: A♥A♦

Kennedy found some help on the 8♥10♥8♠ flop, while the 9♦ turn left Eminoglu in front. The dealer then revealed the 8♣ river, giving Eminoglu and full house and sending Kennedy to the rail.

Nivel 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Four-way action to the 4♦3♠7♦ flop saw the big blind at risk after Lucia Navarro moved all in from middle position. Dimitrios Kontos tool some time in the cutoff before making the call, while Vivian Saliba folded quickly in the small blind.

A U: K♦7♣ All in
Lucia Navarro: A♣A♥ All in
Dimitrios Kontos: 8♣8♦

"This is my favorite hand," Kontos told Navarro.

"This is mine," Navarro answered, pointing to her pocket aces.

The Q♣ turn and 9♣ river changed nothing, as Navarro more than doubled with her aces while sending one opponent to the rail.
