Serge Chechin raised to 1,200 under the gun before Michail Kavouras three-bet to 3,000 in middle position. Marius Brinceanu called in the cutoff and Steven Tool four-bet to 15,000 in the small blind. Chechin then moved all in for 31,200, Kavouras and Brinceanu both folded, while Tool called.
Serge Chechin: J♠J♦
Steven Tool: A♥K♦
The J♣5♦4♣ flop gave Chechin top set, while the rest of the board came 2♣5♥ as Chechin improved to a full house to double up.
With around 35,000 chips in the pot on a board of 10♠J♠5♦5♠, Denis Lehmann had fired 10,000, Dinesh Alt folded, and Vladimer Gigolashvili called.
A 6♣ dropped on the river and Lehmann put out another bet of 25,000, which sent Gigolashvili into the tank. Gigolashvili was thinking for so long that Lehmann called the clock, and as soon as he did, Gigolashvili shoved. Lehmann had around 50,000 remaining in his stack and snap-called.
Gigolashvili flipped J♥J♦ for a full house, and Lehmann revealed A♠Q♠ for the nut flush, then made his way to the exit.
The pot stood at around 3,900 with a flop of 4♠6♣10♦ when Rolando Camardese checked, allowing Andras Nemeth to bet 1,600. Ran Koller called, but Camardese wasn't satisfied; he raised it to 6,000. Nemeth responded with a three-bet to 15,000, which Koller called, prompting Camardese to fold.
When the turn brought the K♦, Nemeth led out again, this time betting 13,000, and Koller called.
On the 5♦ river, Nemeth checked, and Koller seized the moment, betting 12,500. That was too steep for Nemeth, who quickly tossed his cards into the muck.
Iman Ghashayar raised to 1,200 in early position and Omar Eljach called in the cutoff. Catalin Diac then three-bet to 6,500 in the big blind and both opponents called.
Action checked to Eljach on the 8♥6♣2♠ and he bet 9,000. Diac and Ghashayar both called and the Q♥ turn was checked down.
Diac led out for 25,000 on the 9♠ river and Ghashayar quickly folded. Eljach took his time before he also folded as Diac took the pot.
