Nivel 5 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Abraham Serrano limped in from under the gun and Nazariy Piznak came along from the hijack. Mourad Mengouchi then raised to 4,000 in the big blind and only Serrano called.

The flop came Q♥6♦K♦ and Mengouchi bet 5,600. Serrano then moved all in and pat Mengouchi on the back as Mengouchi buried his head in his hands before sliding in his last 70,000.

Mourad Mengouchi: Q♦8♦ All in
Abraham Serrano: K♠K♣

Serrano showed down top set, while Mengouchi had a pair and flush draw. The 2♦ fell on the turn to give Mengouchi his flush, but Serrano spiked the K♥ on the river to make quads and send Mengouchi, who had been sitting on a big stack most of the day, crashing to the rail.

Team888 Pro Ian Simpson's former seat at this table is also empty as he'll have to try again on another bullet.

Carlos Martin raised to 1,500 in the cutoff and Oleh Pritsak three-bet to 6,500 on the button. Martin called and they saw a flop of 7♣K♠2♠.

Pritsak continued for 5,200 and Martin called. The turn was the 9♦ and Pritsak bet 10,500. Martin then moved all in for 30,000 and Pritsak took a few minutes before calling.

"Sevens," tablemate David McConachie said to Martin before he even turned up his cards, and Martin did indeed show 7♥7♠ for a set. Pritsak turned over Q♦Q♣ and was left paying off the double up once the 8♣ fell on the river.

"Easy game," Pritsak said to Martin after the hand.

Michael Uguccioni recently took his seat at this table and has already increased his stack past 100,000.

Nivel 2 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

In a blind versus blind battle, the big blind bet 1,500 on a flop of J♣10♣4♦ and John Ishak called.

The turn was the Q♦ and the big blind bet another 7,500. Ishak again called and the 6♠ fell on the river. Both players then checked and Ishak turned over J♦9♦ for top pair to win the pot.

"Good turn for you," a tablemate told him.

Stefan Cupic, who won the high roller event here last year, recently reentered after losing the massive pot to Mourad Mengouchi earlier.

"I want to screenshot it. From winning the high roller to busting the first hand of the Main Event," a friend at another table teased Cupic as he retook his seat in the tournament.
