Nivel 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Pascal Hartmann shoved for his last 5,000 on the button and just behind him, Francesco Favia called from the small blind to put Hartmann at risk.

Pascal Hartmann: K♣2♣ All in
Francesco Favia: A♥8♦

Hartmann would need some help, but the 6♥J♣10♦5♦A♣ runout left Favia best with a pair of aces and Hartmann was eliminated.

Nivel 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Around 11,000 was in the middle on a board of J♦2♦2♥4♠, in a hand between Sergi Reixach in the cutoff and Andrey Koks in the big blind.

Koks checked and Reixach fired out a bet of 11,000. Koks took a moment before check-jamming to 31,800. Reixach thought it through for a minute or two before making the call with the covering stack.

Andrey Koks: A♣2♣ All in
Sergi Reixach: A♥J♥

Koks was well ahead with his trip deuces versus Reixach's top pair jacks, and only needed to fade a jack on the river to scoop the double-up.

The river was the 4♣ and Koks scooped the pot with a full house.

Nivel 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

In the hijack, Bernhard Binder shoved his last 8,800 chips, leaving Alexandre Vuilleumier in the big blind to make a tough decision. After some hesitation, Vuilleumier decided to call, setting up a showdown.

Bernhard Binder: A♥10♦ All in
Alexandre Vuilleumier: A♠9♥

Binder had the slight edge with the better kicker, and he was hoping it would hold. The board ran out 6♥4♣A♣5♣3♣, keeping Binder in front and securing him the much-needed double-up.

Ghassan Bitar opened to 1,300 from the cutoff and was called by Marle Spragg on the button for a heads-up pot.

Spragg called a 1,000 bet from Bitar on the 7♥2♦8♣ flop and then raised a 3,000 bet from Bitar to 6,000 on the 9♦ turn. Bitar called.

The Q♣ completed the board and Bitar shoved, which was met with a snap-call from Spragg for her last 7,400.

Spragg held J♣10♣ for the nuts and Bitar showed he held Q♥9♠ for top two pair before sending his hand into the muck.
